Why operations choose the BPB-P5528FV for produce handling and storage
- 1 Airflow that protects the load
Vented walls and base move air through the whole stack, shedding field heat, moisture and respiration gases, that is what keeps potatoes, onions and other produce firm and storing for longer instead of sweating and rotting in a sealed box.
- 2 Folds flat for the back-haul
Erected it stands 285 mm; collapsed it drops to 60 mm, roughly a 4.8:1 collapse. Empties ride back at a fraction of the cube, so return-freight and off-season storage stop eating your yard and your trailer space.
- 3 A cleanable format to assess
The catalogue lists PP construction with no nails or splinters. Confirm food-contact documentation, chemical compatibility and the required wash temperature against your own hygiene plan before specifying it.
