Red Egg Transport Crate 68 x 36.5 x 36 cm

Product Overview

The red egg transport crate shows the same frame-style basket from the empty side, so buyers can inspect the internal tray ledges before ordering. Printed on the image are its working dimensions: 68 cm long, 36.5 cm wide and 36 cm high, with a crate weight of 2420 g. The open red frame reveals the base, the side posts and the horizontal ledges that support each layer of egg trays, giving a clear look at how the basket carries its load.

Bright red is chosen for farms that color-code their egg transport fleet, so crates never get mixed up with those from a neighbor or a contract collector. The frame construction keeps the basket light, drains fast after washing, and lets staff see whether a returning crate is clean before it goes back into the laying house.

Key Features and Benefits

• Empty-frame view - the photo shows the crate without trays, so buyers can judge the ledge spacing and side strength directly.
• 68 x 36.5 x 36 cm size - matches standard tray nests and truck rack spacing, fitting neatly beside the blue version in the same fleet.
• 2420 g frame weight - the open rib structure carries a full tray stack without adding heavy wall plastic.
• Bright red fleet color - red crates are easy to identify in a mixed yard, which helps return-loan tracking between farm and collection center.
• Visible tray ledges - horizontal support rails on the sides hold each tray layer level, preventing trays from tipping during transit.
• Fast draining design - open sides and slotted base let wash water run off quickly, cutting drying time after each collection day.

Materials and Quality

Like the blue version, this red crate is molded from rigid plastic, with reinforced corner posts taking the stacking load and thinner side ribs keeping weight down. The red pigment is mixed into the plastic rather than painted on, so color stays consistent even after years of washing and sun exposure. The ledges inside the frame are shaped to sit trays flat, and the base has slots that let water and small debris fall through instead of collecting under the eggs.

Before shipment, empty crates are checked for square corners, level rim and even ledge height. Because the crate is sold without trays, we confirm that the internal width matches standard egg tray dimensions so the buyer trays fit without forcing.

How to Use and Maintain

Lower filled egg trays into the crate layer by layer until the stack reaches the top rim, then move the basket on a trolley. When the eggs are unloaded, hose the frame inside and out, tilt the crate to drain, and let it air dry before nesting empty crates together. Empty red crates nest or stack on their rim, which saves storage space between collection rounds. Check corner posts for cracks at the start of each season and retire any basket that shows splits around the stacking edge, since a failing post can drop a whole tray stack during loading.

Applications

Red crates suit farms that run two or more egg collection teams, because the color tells at a glance which crate belongs to which route. Large layer farms also mix red and blue crates so incoming eggs from different houses never share the same stack on the truck. Collection depots use the red frame style as their returnable fleet, since the open design washes fast and the color makes crate returns easy to track.

Trading companies can offer this red crate as a color alternative to the blue model, without changing size or loading system. Because both colors share the same dimensions, a farm can start with one color and add the other later without rethinking trolley or pallet layout. The empty-frame photo also helps buyers place the order confidently, since they already know the ledge spacing before the crate arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is the red crate the same size as the blue one?

Yes, both frame crates print the same 68 x 36.5 x 36 cm dimensions and 2420 g weight. Only the color differs, so trays, trolleys and pallets work the same for both, and a mixed fleet never needs special handling.

Q2: Can I order red and blue in one container?

Mixed-color orders are common for fleets that separate routes or owners. Tell us the quantity of each color and we will pack them together in one shipment.

Q3: Does the empty frame protect eggs well enough?

The frame supports the egg trays, and the eggs themselves rest on the tray cups rather than touching the crate walls. On smooth farm roads this is the standard working system for bulk egg transport.

Q4: How should I store empty crates in winter?

Nest or stack clean, dry crates under cover away from freezing puddles. Cold weather makes plastic stiffer, so avoid dropping frozen crates from a height, and bring them inside for a day before heavy stacking resumes.
