Blue Egg Transport Crate 68 x 36.5 x 36 cm

Product Overview

The blue egg transport crate is a purpose-built basket that carries stacked plastic egg trays between the layer house and the packing room. The product image prints its working size at 68 cm long, 36.5 cm wide and 36 cm high, with a crate weight of 2420 g. The photo shows the crate loaded with several layers of green egg trays nested inside, so the buyer can see exactly how the tray system drops into the basket and rides through the trip.

Unlike a solid wall basket, this model uses a strong open frame: vertical ribs and horizontal rails on the sides hold the tray stack firmly, while the open gaps keep the whole load light and visible. The bright blue color stands out on a truck or in a collection yard, and the reinforced corner posts protect the corners during daily forklift and hand-truck handling.

Key Features and Benefits

• Tray-loading design - the crate is shown with green egg trays stacked inside, proving it is built around standard tray nests rather than loose eggs.
• 68 x 36.5 x 36 cm footprint - the longer base takes more trays per trip, cutting the number of journeys during peak collection.
• 2420 g light frame - the open structure keeps the basket light while still carrying a full stack of loaded trays.
• Reinforced side rails - horizontal and vertical bars brace the tray stack against side sway on rough farm roads.
• Bright blue color - blue crates are easy to spot in a busy yard and help farms keep their transport equipment separate from other suppliers.
• Open frame for air flow - the gaps between rails let air reach the trays and let staff count layers from outside without opening the crate.

Materials and Quality

The crate is injection molded as a rigid plastic frame, with thicker posts at the four corners and thinner ribs between them. This balance puts material where the stacking load actually hits, rather than wasting plastic on a solid wall. The rails that hold the tray stack sit at regular heights, so each layer of trays rests on its own ledge instead of pressing on the layer below.

Quality checks before shipment confirm that all corner posts are straight, the rim sits level, and the tray ledges are even on both sides. A tilted ledge would make trays sit at an angle, which can crack eggs during transport, so ledge alignment is checked on every batch.

How to Use and Maintain

Stack filled egg trays into the crate one layer at a time, centered on the ledges. Do not overfill above the top rim, and keep the stack square so neighboring crates sit flat on the pallet. After unloading, brush or wash the rails and let the crate dry before returning it to the layhouse. Inspect corner posts once a month for cracks, and take any damaged crate out of service before it fails mid-season. When the blue crates start looking tired, retire them quietly rather than repairing a cracked corner post on the farm.

Applications

This blue crate suits medium and large layer farms that collect eggs in bulk, because the loaded-tray system moves eggs without re-bagging. Egg collection centers use matching blue crates to bring eggs in from satellite farms, and hatcheries use the same basket style to move hatching eggs between storage and setters. The open frame also fits wash-down areas, because water drains through the gaps instead of pooling on a solid base.

Distributors can sell this crate together with the matching colored egg trays as a complete transport set. Because the crate and trays sell as a system, customers usually reorder both at the same time, which makes stock planning simple for the supplier. Blue fleets also remain easy to spot on a pallet, so loading docks never mix up whose eggs are on the truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many egg trays fit inside one crate?

The image shows a stack of green trays inside as a working example. Exact tray layers depend on tray height; our sales team can confirm how many trays fit this 36 cm high crate and price the set together.

Q2: Can I buy just the trays in blue without the crate?

Yes, the multicolor egg trays are also sold separately, packed 200 pieces per bag. Tell us the tray color and quantity you need and we will quote them on their own.

Q3: Is the crate waterproof for outdoor loading?

The plastic itself is waterproof, and the open frame lets rain drain through instead of pooling. Always unload and dry trays before long storage, since trapped moisture can affect egg shells.

Q4: What is the difference between this and the white mesh crate?

This blue frame crate uses side rails to hold tray layers, while the white mesh crate has diamond-grid walls and a divided interior. Choose the frame style when you work with stacked trays every day; choose the mesh style for general basket duty.
