Building an Efficient Warehouse System Starts with Choosing the Right Crates
| “Building an Efficient Warehouse System Starts with Choosing the Right Crates Did you know that more than 90% of businesses need a warehouse to store goods? A warehouse is like a vital organ of the body, continuously supplying products so the business can run smoothly. One thing business owners and managers should never overlook is “”building the most efficient warehouse system possible”” — and choosing the right crates for storing products is at the heart of that system. Why Is Choosing the Right Crate So Important for a Warehouse System? The Type of Product Being Stored Choosing the wrong crate or storage box can have a serious negative impact on the product itself. For example, products that cannot be exposed to light may degrade in quality if stored in clear crates. Other products that require ventilation need warehouse managers to choose ventilated crates or baskets to allow proper air circulation. So one of the key factors when choosing between solid crates, ventilated crates, or storage boxes is “”the type of product being stored.”” Saving Space Beyond considering what type of items will go inside the crate, the ability to stack crates high to save space is another factor that helps reduce space costs. Many businesses choose stackable crates, which can save up to 80% of space. According to surveys, warehouses with high daily product turnover may need as many as 4,000 crates — if these cannot be stacked, an enormous amount of space is wasted. Choosing sturdy, stackable crates is therefore something that genuinely helps business owners save money. Using High-Quality Plastic Crates Another factor that, if overlooked by business owners or warehouse managers, can cause long-term damage is “”using low-quality plastic crates.”” Crates or storage boxes made from low-quality plastic are prone to cracking and breaking, plastic fragments may contaminate products, or worse — the crates may collapse while storing goods, damaging the contents inside. Using plastic crates long-term without checking whether they need replacement also leads to the plastic degrading over time, which can cause damage. Loading an Appropriate Weight of Goods Finally, failing to consider the weight of the items being stored is a common issue. Heavier products generally require crates designed to support that extra weight. Choosing the wrong crate design can cause the crate to crack, collapse, or become unstackable. In Summary: What Does It Take to Build an Efficient Warehouse System by Choosing the Right Crates? Choose crates or storage boxes appropriate for the products being stored, such as solid crates or ventilated crates. Choose stackable crates to save space. Choose crates made from high-quality plastic, and regularly inspect the condition of the crates in use. Avoid overloading crates beyond their weight capacity, as this causes damage — load items appropriately according to the crate’s design.
