Expendable Crates
Choosing the right packing crates is vital in ensuring that your valuable products will arrive at their destination in perfect condition and for the lowest possible cost to your business.Crocodile manufactures bespoke wooden crates for transporting your products, offering the highest and toughest security and protection for your equipment. We understand that minimising costs is an important part of getting your goods to market, which is why Crocodile has a range of expendable cases if a one-trip, or expendable, solution is what you require.
Crocodile’s expendable cases have the same great Crocodile design and use Crocodile’s unique clipping system but we specify the crates to offer the optimum protection whilst using more economical materials for the clips, pallet base and panels, thereby minimising the unit cost.
Economical materials.
Our unique clip system means that we don’t have to use nails or screws to assemble the crates enabling lower cost sheet materials to be used such as lighter weight OSB – As the physical materials make up a relatively high percentage of overall cost it makes sense to minimise the price if only a single journey is needed.
Any size, any shape.
Our 1-trip shipping crates don’t come off a shelf. They can still be made to the size you need…. By all means use a ‘standard’ size crate if it works well for the job, but if you need something slightly different then let us know…
Customised internal protection.
The inside of a Crocodile crate has no protrusions or battens so is ideal for adding customised dunnage to protect your product during transit. Internal foam protection, anti-vibration devices and barrier foil bags are simple to install. We will let you what is needed and how much it will cost.
Low cost, high protection.
The simple design of the Crocodile system provides high levels of inherent strength with the panel rebates preventing inward collapse and the clips providing bursting protection. Our 1-trip crates have the same basic Crocodile design – and the same strength!
Open side loading.
Allows simple, safe and efficient loading and unloading, minimising any health and safety issues caused by repetitive bending while keeping your production line operating efficiently. Simple and fast removal of individual panels make despatch and quality inspections a simple task.
No tools required.
No special tools are required to assemble or collapse the Crocodile crates and there are no sharp edges to cause cuts to hands, so it’s easier to keep safe.
