Designed to fold down when empty, these reusable Plastic Crates help reduce the space required for return transport and storage in warehouses, retail operations, food handling facilities and commercial workplaces.
The range includes 24L, 32L and 40L Collapsible Vented Crates, along with a folding trolley and removable collapsible basket for mobile handling. Their lightweight plastic construction supports frequent use while making the crates easy to carry, stack and store.

Space-Saving Crates for Storage & Transport
Collapsible Crates provide the carrying capacity of a rigid crate while allowing the sides to fold into the base when the container is empty. This reduces the volume occupied by unused crates and makes them easier to store in vehicles, storerooms, warehouses and distribution facilities.
Vented side walls allow air to circulate around the contents, making these crates suitable for fresh produce, packaged food and other goods that benefit from improved airflow. They can also be used for stock replenishment, order picking, office storage and general transport tasks.
Product Types by Application
24L Collapsible Vented Crates
24L Collapsible Vented Crates provide a compact option for carrying smaller quantities of produce, groceries, components and general supplies.
The smaller capacity is useful for retail replenishment, vehicle storage and applications where operators need a crate that remains easy to lift and carry.
32L Collapsible Vented Crates
32L Collapsible Vented Crates provide a balance between carrying capacity and manageable handling for everyday commercial use.
They suit stock movement, food handling, delivery runs and workplace storage where crates are regularly returned empty and folded down between uses.
40L Collapsible Vented Crates
40L Collapsible Vented Crates offer greater internal capacity for transporting produce, packaged goods, stock and equipment.
The folding design helps businesses manage larger loads without permanently using the storage space required by a conventional rigid crate.
Folding Trolley with Collapsible Basket
The KartR Folding Trolley combines a collapsible basket with a wheeled frame to support mobile transport in offices, shops, warehouses and community environments.
The trolley can be folded for storage, while the removable basket, wheels and castors can be replaced separately to support ongoing use.
Key Collapsible Crate Features
Fold-Flat Storage
The side panels fold into the crate base when the container is empty, significantly reducing its stored height.
This helps save space during return transport and allows more empty crates to be stored in warehouses, vehicles and back-of-house areas.
Vented Construction
Openings through the side walls improve airflow around the contents and allow moisture to drain more easily than in a fully enclosed container.
This construction is beneficial when handling fresh produce, food products and other goods stored in cool rooms or ventilated areas.
Stackable Design
When erected, compatible Collapsible Crates can be stacked to make better use of vertical storage and transport space.
Stable stacking helps organise stock, reduce floor congestion and improve product handling through warehouses and distribution operations.
Reusable Plastic Construction
Durable plastic construction provides a reusable alternative to disposable cartons and other single-use packaging.
The crates are easy to clean and suitable for repeat handling across commercial, retail and light industrial environments.
