Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available in Richmond’s plastic security crate range?
Richmond’s plastic security crate range includes compact and larger storage options to suit different storage and handling needs. Available options include 5.4L, 12L, 62L, 65L and 68L crates. Smaller crates are useful for items such as stationery, small parts, tools, documents and personal belongings. Larger crates are better suited to bulkier workplace items, stock, equipment or supplies. This range gives offices, warehouses, schools and households a practical way to keep items enclosed, organised and easier to move between locations while providing added protection through an attached, lockable lid.
Can Richmond plastic security crates be locked?
Yes. Richmond’s plastic security crates feature attached lids that can be secured using padlocks or cable ties, depending on the level of security required. This makes them suitable for workplaces that need to store or transport items with added protection. They are commonly used for documents, tools, office supplies, stock, equipment and personal items in shared or busy environments. The attached lid helps keep contents enclosed during handling, while the lockable design helps reduce unauthorised access. These crates provide a practical storage option for offices, warehouses, schools, storerooms and general commercial use.
Are plastic security crates suitable for workplace storage?
Yes. Plastic security crates are well suited to workplace storage across offices, warehouses, schools, commercial facilities and general storage areas. They help keep contents grouped, protected and easier to move between departments, work zones or storage locations. In offices, they can be used for files, documents and supplies. In warehouses, they are useful for tools, components, equipment and stock items. Their durable polypropylene construction supports regular handling, while the attached lid helps keep contents enclosed. For businesses that need reusable storage with added security, Richmond’s plastic security crates are a practical option.
Can security crates be stacked or nested?
Selected Richmond security crates can be stacked when the lids are closed, helping businesses make better use of vertical storage space in warehouses, offices, schools and storerooms. Some models are also designed to nest when empty, reducing the space required when crates are not in use or are being returned for storage. This makes them useful for facilities managing changing storage volumes or regular movement of goods. When stacking loaded crates, users should consider the weight of the contents, load distribution and storage conditions to help maintain stability and protect the items inside.
What are Richmond plastic security crates made from?
Richmond’s plastic security crates are made from durable polypropylene, providing a practical balance of strength, impact resistance and ease of handling. This material is suitable for reusable storage and transport applications across commercial, industrial, educational and household environments. The attached lid helps protect contents during storage or movement, while the lockable design allows users to secure the crate with a padlock or cable tie when required. Polypropylene security crates are a reliable option for teams that need organised, enclosed and reusable storage for documents, tools, equipment, stock, supplies or personal items.
