Orange Poultry Transport Crate 27 cm

Product Overview

The 27 cm orange poultry transport crate is the standard all-around carrying box for moving adult chickens, ducks and similar-sized birds between houses, to collection points or to market. At 75 cm long, 55 cm wide and 27 cm high, it gives birds enough standing headroom for a comfortable road trip while keeping the proven footprint that handlers know. The bright orange finish makes the crate easy to identify, and the full grid lid keeps birds inside while letting light and air pass through.

Weighing 5.05 kg per unit, this crate balances light handling with sturdy walls: the side panels carry rows of ventilation slots that stay open even when crates are stacked, and the reinforced top rim supports neat, square stacks. The molded grid pattern on the walls gives the shell stiffness without adding weight, so a crew can load and unload quickly without risking cracked corners. The same orange crate is produced in several heights, so farms that already know the footprint can add units without retraining staff.

Key Features and Benefits

• Standard 27 cm height - gives adult chickens and ducks enough headroom to stand and turn during transport, reducing stress on medium-length trips.
• All-round ventilation slots - rows of openings on every wall keep air flowing and help heat escape when several crates travel together in a vehicle.
• Full grid lid - closes the crate securely while still letting air and light through, and the solid rim around the lid protects edges during stacking.
• Reinforced stacking rim - thicker top and bottom rims let loaded crates sit squarely on one another without sliding or crushing the walls below.
• 5.05 kg practical weight - heavy enough to hold a full load of adult birds, light enough for two-person or efficient one-person handling on loading days.
• Uniform orange finish - consistent farm color for easy fleet identification, and pigmented plastic that does not rub off onto feathers or hands.

Materials and Quality

The crate is molded from rigid plastic as one continuous shell, with thicker material along the top rim, bottom edge and corner posts where wear concentrates. The wall grid is designed as a series of connected ribs that share loads, so a bump on the road does not turn into a crack. Orange pigment runs through the plastic instead of being sprayed on, keeping the color stable outdoors and avoiding flaking onto feathers. Before shipment, each unit is inspected for cracks, deformed ribs and lid seating, and export orders are packed so the crates arrive without scuffed corners or bent rims.

How to Use and Maintain

Open the lid, load birds gently through the top, and close the cover before moving. On the truck, stack crates in straight columns on their rims and tie or secure the load so columns do not shift on corners. After each trip, hose out droppings and feathers, wash with mild detergent, and leave the lid open to dry in shade. Check the rim and lid fit each season; if a corner post splits, take that crate out of service so the whole stack stays safe.

Applications

This standard orange crate is the workhorse of broiler farms sending finished birds to collection centers, layer farms moving hens to other houses, and live-poultry markets that need reliable, reusable carrying boxes. It is also used by vaccination and grading crews that move flocks house to house during management routines, and by hatcheries that transport day-old pullets to contract farms once the birds outgrow small boxes.

Distributors value the crate because one footprint fits all transport racks, and the 27 cm height suits most adult birds buyers handle daily. Orange units are easy to count in a stacked warehouse, and mixed orders with other heights from the same range load neatly into one container. Farms buying repeat orders find the consistent dimensions make loading plans simple, because crews can rely on the same 75 x 55 cm base for every stack they build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many birds fit in a 27 cm crate?

Exact numbers depend on bird breed, weight and local animal-welfare rules, so we advise matching the load to your birds and local practice; the 75 x 55 x 27 cm interior is designed for standard adult chickens and ducks, and your local regulations should guide the final count.

Q2: Is the lid removable or hinged?

This model uses a grid lid that closes over the top of the crate; the solid rim around it supports neat stacking during transport and storage, and the cover keeps birds enclosed while allowing air to pass through.

Q3: Can crates be stacked empty to save space?

Yes, empty crates stack on their rims, which keeps storage and return shipping compact compared with rigid wooden or metal boxes; buyers often return washed crates to reuse across seasons.

Q4: What is the crate made of?

It is molded rigid plastic with pigmented orange color and reinforced rims; wash it with mild detergent and water after each use and let it dry fully before stacking for storage.
