Orange Poultry Transport Crate 19 cm

Product Overview

The 19 cm orange poultry transport crate is a low-profile plastic carrying box built for moving young chicks, growers and small poultry between houses, to sorting points or to local markets. Measuring 75 cm long and 55 cm wide with a 19 cm height, it keeps the same familiar footprint as the rest of the crate family while sitting lower, so small birds stay in a shallow, secure compartment during short transfers. The bright orange body is easy to spot on crowded farms and in delivery vehicles, and the grid-pattern lid closes over the top with a small square access hatch that can be opened without removing the whole cover.

Ventilation slots run across all four sides in repeated rows, so air keeps moving through the crate even when several units are stacked together. At 4.35 kg per unit, the crate is light enough for one person to lift into a truck bed, yet rigid enough to carry a full load of birds. The corners and bottom rim are reinforced, and the molded grid wall pattern spreads loads across continuous plastic ribs instead of concentrating pressure on a single thin strip.

Key Features and Benefits

• Low 19 cm profile - keeps young chicks and small birds in a shallow compartment that reduces jumping, flapping and wing damage during short transfers.
• Grid ventilation on all sides - rows of molded slots let fresh air circulate and heat escape, which helps birds stay calm and comfortable on warm days.
• Molded lid with access hatch - the fixed grid lid closes the crate while the small square hatch lets you check or reach birds without unloading the whole unit.
• Reinforced corners and base rim - stacking points and wear edges are molded thicker, so repeated loading and unloading do not quickly crack the shell.
• Uniform 75 x 55 cm footprint - matches standard poultry transport racks, shelves and truck floor patterns used on most commercial and family farms.
• Light 4.35 kg weight - one handler can lift a full crate, which speeds up loading teams and reduces manual handling strain during busy move days.

Materials and Quality

The crate body is molded as a single rigid plastic shell with even wall thickness across the side panels. The grid ribs act as built-in stiffeners: instead of a flat thin wall, the repeated square and rectangular openings leave continuous beams of plastic that flex slightly under load and spring back into shape. Bright orange pigment is mixed into the material rather than painted on, so the color stays consistent even after outdoor use and wash-down. Each crate is visually checked before shipment for surface cracks, broken ribs and proper lid fit, and finished units leave the factory clean and ready for farm use.

How to Use and Maintain

Load birds through the top after opening the lid or the access hatch, then close the cover before lifting. Stack crates squarely on their rims and keep the load stable during transport. After each use, hose the crate out, wash the walls and lid with mild detergent and water, and leave it open to dry in a ventilated shaded area. Avoid leaving crates in direct sun for days at a time, and do not drag them across rough concrete, since abrasion wears the bottom edge faster than normal stacking. Inspect the lid latch points each season and replace any crate with cracked load-bearing ribs.

Applications

This low-height orange crate is used by broiler farms moving young chicks from the brooding house to grow-out pens, by layer farms transferring pullets to the laying barn, and by smallholders taking birds to local live-poultry markets. Its shallow depth also suits vaccination teams and sorting crews that need to reach birds quickly during flock work.

Traders and distributors buy these crates in sets because the 75 x 55 cm footprint stacks neatly in delivery vans and market stall racks. The orange color is easy to spot in crowded loading areas, and the consistent footprint lets customers mix different crate heights from the same family on one rack. For export orders, crates can be supplied in full containers so buyers receive a ready-to-use transport fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What birds are suitable for the 19 cm crate?

This low-height model is designed for young chicks, growers and small poultry that do not need standing headroom; it is suited for short transfers inside the farmyard rather than long road trips with adult laying hens.

Q2: Can these crates be stacked when loaded with birds?

Yes, the reinforced rim supports stacking, but always set crates squarely on top of one another and keep the stack stable during transport; do not exceed the load level your crew can safely handle.

Q3: How do I clean the crates after use?

Hose out loose bedding, wash the walls and lid with mild detergent and water, then leave the lid open to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could make the plastic brittle over repeated seasons.

Q4: Can I mix this orange crate with other heights from the same range?

Yes, the 75 x 55 cm footprint is shared across the family, so 19 cm, 23 cm, 27 cm and 33 cm units can be stacked together on the same truck rack.
