Orange Poultry Transport Crate with Hinged Lid 27 cm

Product Overview

The orange poultry transport crate with a hinged lid is the loading-friendly version of the standard 27 cm box, built for teams that fill crates quickly on busy move days. Measuring 75 cm long, 55 cm wide and 27 cm high, it shares the proven footprint of the family, but the grid lid swings up on a hinge instead of lifting off, so one handler can hold the lid open with one hand while loading birds with the other. The bright orange shell stays easy to spot on any farm, and the hinge keeps the cover attached so it cannot be set down in dirty bedding.

At 5 kg per unit, the hinged-lid crate keeps the practical handling weight of the standard model. The open-lid design shows how fully the cover opens, giving clear access to the whole top of the crate, while ventilation slots across all four sides keep air moving even when crates are stacked. The reinforced rim supports square stacking during transport and storage, and the bright orange shell stays visible in a crowded loading bay.

Key Features and Benefits

• Hinged flip-top lid - swings open in one motion, letting one handler load birds fast without setting a removable lid down and losing it.
• Full top opening - gives complete access to the crate floor for quick loading, counting and cleaning after the flock is unloaded.
• 27 cm standard height - gives adult chickens and ducks standing headroom for comfortable short and medium transfers.
• All-round grid ventilation - rows of slots on every wall keep fresh air flowing and heat escaping during warm-weather routes.
• 5 kg easy handling - light enough for efficient one-person lifting, heavy enough to hold a full load of adult birds.
• Reinforced stacking rim - thicker top and bottom rims let loaded crates sit squarely on one another without sliding.

Materials and Quality

The crate body is molded as one rigid plastic shell, with the hinge area built into the reinforced top rim so repeated opening does not loosen the joint. The wall grid of connected ribs shares loads across the side panels, and orange pigment runs through the material for lasting color. Each hinged lid opens and closes freely before shipment, and units are checked for cracked ribs and a lid that seats flat when shut, so the crate stacks straight on the truck. The bright orange pigment runs through the plastic rather than being sprayed on, so the color stays consistent after repeated wash-down.

How to Use and Maintain

Flip the lid up, load birds through the full top opening, then swing the lid shut before lifting. Keep the lid closed during transport and storage so the rim supports stacking. After use, hose the open crate out fully, wash with mild detergent and water, and leave the lid propped open to air dry. Check the hinge and seating edge each season; if the lid no longer sits flat, retire the crate so stacks stay stable on the road. Avoid dragging the crate across rough concrete, since abrasion wears the bottom edge faster than normal stacking.

Applications

This hinged orange crate suits broiler catch teams, vaccination crews and market traders who load and unload many crates per hour. The one-hand lid operation cuts wasted motion during rush hours, and the standard 27 cm height fits most adult birds buyers handle daily.

Distributors stock the hinged model for customers who value speed during collection. The crate stacks on the same racks as the rest of the 75 x 55 cm family, so fleets can mix lid styles without changing loading plans. Export orders arrive in export-grade packaging, and specification sheets are available for any order size, including mixed containers of hinged and fixed-lid crates. Buyers can also request samples before placing a full container order so crews can test the hinge in real loading conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is the hinged lid different from a removable lid?

The cover swings up on an attached hinge, so you can open and close it with one hand while loading, and it cannot be lost or set down on dirty ground; this saves time on busy collection mornings.

Q2: Does the open lid stay out of the way while loading?

Yes, the lid opens upward and rests clear of the crate top, giving one-hand access to the full floor during fast filling, so crews keep both hands free to handle birds.

Q3: Can birds escape through the hinge gap?

When shut, the lid seats flat on the reinforced rim, keeping birds enclosed; always close and seat the cover before lifting the crate.

Q4: Is the crate compatible with standard racks?

Yes, the 75 x 55 cm footprint matches the rest of the family, so hinged-lid units stack on the same truck racks and shelves; crews do not need retraining when they switch between fixed and hinged lid crates on the same load.
