Unknown - Crate Trolley

• Transporting ingredients and finished products within food processing facilities.
• Moving dirty or clean crates between washing areas and production lines.
• Organising and storing empty or full containers in a compact manner.
• Facilitating batch transfer operations in bakeries, dairies, and meat processing plants.

Typical capacity

Typically designed to hold multiple standard Euro-sized crates (e.g., 600x400mm), with capacity varying based on the number of levels and overall frame size.

Power supply

This class of equipment is typically unpowered, relying on manual movement.

Construction material

Commonly fabricated from stainless steel (e.g., 304 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

Mobility

Equipped with swivel castors, often with braking mechanisms, for ease of movement and secure positioning.

Dimensions (approximate footprint)

Footprint will vary but is typically designed to accommodate standard crate sizes, often around 650mm x 450mm to 1200mm x 800mm.

Load rating

For this class of equipment, individual shelf or overall unit load ratings commonly range from 50kg to 250kg, depending on construction.

• What types of crates can this trolley accommodate?

  Crate trolleys are typically designed for standard industrial or food-grade crates, often Euro-standard dimensions. Buyers should confirm the internal dimensions and shelf spacing with the seller to ensure compatibility with their specific crates.

• Is this trolley suitable for washdown environments?

• Are spare parts, such as castors, readily available?

• What is the typical lifespan of a used crate trolley?

• Can this trolley be used in cold storage or freezer environments?

Food handling containers and tote bins hold strong reputations for durability and cost-effectiveness when purchased used. Buyers typically prioritise robust construction, food-grade compliance, and ease of cleaning when selecting secondhand units. Industry sentiment favours stainless steel and plastic options for their longevity and hygiene standards. Key considerations include inspecting seals, structural integrity, and any residual odours or staining. Common strengths include stackability, space efficiency, and resistance to corrosion, making used containers reliable investments for food processing operations seeking budget-conscious solutions.
