Cold-Chain Ready for Produce Logistics
This crate mold is built for packhouses, wholesale markets, and cold-chain distribution. The vented sidewalls support cooling while reinforced corners maintain stack strength in trucks and cold rooms.
Typical Use
Ideal for farm collection, export packing, and refrigerated transport where airflow and stability are both critical.
Corner Posts + Vented Walls
We balance vent area with corner strength so the crate stays rigid under stack loads while allowing airflow during cooling.
Key Engineering Points
- Reinforced corner posts distribute vertical load during stacking
- Vented sidewalls for airflow without compromising rigidity
- Forklift entry and base ribs sized for pallet movement
- Material guidance for chilled vs. frozen logistics

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Vegetable Crate Mold
Is the crate compatible with EURO pallets?
Yes. The standard footprint is 600x400mm, and we can adjust for other pallet systems if required.
Should we use HDPE or PP?
HDPE is preferred for low-temperature impact resistance; PP is suitable for chilled applications with higher stiffness needs.
How high can the crates be stacked?
Stack height depends on load weight and handling. The corner geometry is designed for stable pallet stacking, and we can advise on safe limits.
Can the ventilation pattern be customized?
Yes. We can adjust vent size and layout to suit specific produce and cooling requirements.
Is the base compatible with forklifts and conveyors?
Yes. The base includes reinforced contact areas and forklift clearance for common warehouse handling.
