RAW MATERIALS
We use two types of wood for the production of our crates:
- deciduous wood: pine, spruce and larch, used to construct the bottom and the loading section of the crates,
- hard wood from broad-leaf trees, e.g: hornbeams, beeches and oaks, used to construct those crate elements which require high durability, e.g. the load-bearing structure of a reinforced pallet; at the special request of the Client, we can also employ hard wood for square timbers, pallet corners and the outermost boards of the crate bottom.

- 120x100x77 cm,

ABOUT CRATE
The crates are made of four-side planed boards; the boards' side edges are semi-rounded to prevent the stored fruit and vegetable from bruising and damage.
The bottom boards (pallet feet), "two units visible in blue", are made of hornbeam wood and angle-milled to facilitate forklift
access and simplify the manoeuvre of aiming with forklift forks.
Load-bearing boards, "three units visible in blue", 3 cm thick and 12 cm wide, are also made of hornbeam wood, thus greatly reinforcing the
load-bearing structure of the whole crate and preventing the boards from bending under weight. In addition, each of the aforementioned boards
is connected to a bracket (6 units) with screws visible on the photo.
Hornbeam wood is
- heavy,
- extremely hard,
- very resistant to splitting,
- fire resistant,
- acid and base substance resistant.
It is used in products requiring: malleability, elasticity, hardness and resistance to impact and friction.
The following fasteners are used:
- zinc-plated ring-shank nails with the proper diameter,
- screws and nuts connecting pallet feet, blocks and load-bearing boards in the pallet,
- zinc-coated sheet brackets for connecting the pallet with the crate's load-bearing component.
The parts are nailed together so as to prevent the nail from being drawn deeper into the board.
The maximum transport quantity of crates of dimensions 120x100x77 cm is:
- 128 units when fully assembled,
- 300 units when transported in parts.
Our crates are equipped with air inlets on the side and, at the Client's request, at the bottom for improved ventilation
and cooling of the stored products. Moreover, the crates will be equipped with handles on four sides for manual movement of
empty crates. The structure of the crate enables forklift access from all four sides. In addition, the crates will be
engraved with any writing requested by the Client.
