When you have a business that requires you to run any sort of event, whether it’s a competition, an annual general meeting, a presentation of your products, a dance class, a history lecture, or anything else at all, you almost always have a lot of “stuff” that you need to transport to the venue in which it is being held. Even if it is held on your own premises, if it is not a one-off, there will be things that you need to store and re-use. If you hold the event four times a year or only once a year you need to be able to access all the bits and pieces that you need quickly and easily.

Made from industrial-grade High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), our crates are made to take way more impact than the budget polypropylene boxes out there.  The folding crates are ventilated and compatible with our Transport Dolly Trollies. For example, for larger volume catering, you can transport heavier items in multiple
