• Bright colours can be easily seen in the grove.
• Strong, robust design and construction.
• Contains more of the UV stabilizing agent used in manufacturing.
• Designed for easy lifting and carrying.
• Hygienic and easy to clean.

Main Use

The Orange Olive Harvest Crate is used for collecting, transporting, and storing freshly picked olives during harvest. Its design ensures the fruit remains well-ventilated and protected from pressure damage or overheating before processing.

It is also suitable for other orchard or produce-handling tasks, including fruit sorting, temporary field storage, or placement under catching frames to collect olives directly from tree shakers or mechanical harvesters.

Performance and Handling

The crate’s robust build and reinforced base provide excellent stability, even when stacked high on trailers or pallets. Smooth vent openings allow continuous airflow to prevent spoilage while keeping fruit cool. The ergonomic handholds make lifting and carrying easier during long harvest days, reducing strain on workers.

With its UV-protected plastic composition, the crate maintains colour, flexibility, and strength season after season — even under harsh sunlight. It is easy to wash, dry, and reuse, offering long-term reliability and hygiene for professional olive producers.
