Efficient harvesting, storage and transport are essential for smooth operations in the agricultural sector. Plastic pallet boxes and crates for fruit and vegetables (AGF) are ideally suited to support these processes.
Durable material
Plastic crates and pallets are a sustainable choice for the agricultural sector thanks to their long lifespan and recyclability. Unlike wood or metal, plastic does not rust and is resistant to fertilisers and crop protection agents. Plastic containers are strong under load and remain lightweight, a clear advantage during daily use.
Lightweight and practical
Plastic offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Crates for fruit, vegetables or flowers are easier to handle than their wooden or metal counterparts. Wooden containers absorb moisture, making them heavier over time. Plastic avoids this problem entirely.
Hygienic
Thanks to their smooth surfaces, plastic containers are easy to clean. Variants with perforated bases and sides allow air circulation, reducing the risk of spoilage during storage. Food-grade options are available for direct contact with produce, ideal for processing freshly harvested goods.
