The Quick-Crate® Advantages

Ease of Assembly

Unlike traditional wooden crates, Quick-Crate® can be set-up or knocked down by an individual in less than three minutes, without the use of screws, nails, or metal banding. The system is built around a spring steel clip - no hammers, drills or screw guns required. Crates arrive ready to assemble. When not in use, crates are disassembled using a small, lightweight clip removal tool, which can easily fit into a shirt pocket. See our assembly video & assembly sheet for more detailed information.   

Customization

Quick-Crate's durable containers are designed to meet your needs. You provide us with the specifications and Quick-Crate® will provide a custom packaging solution. See our Dunnage & Options Gallery for some examples of customization available.

Strength & Durability

Quick-Crate® is designed to achieve phenomenal strength and can withstand up to 12,000 psf of stacking pressure. Certified by the Army's Defense Ammunition Center, Quick-Crate® complies with the Mil-Std-1660 criteria for a 4,000 pound ammunition load. Quick-Crates have been lab and field tested to withstand the harshest of handling conditions.
   

Use, Storage and Return

Quick-Crate® collapses to about 9 inches. In collapsed form customers can get 400-500 percent more boxes in their warehouse space as compared to empty one-way boxes. Unlike traditional wood crates or metal racks, which do not collapse, the Quick-Crate® system is collapsible at a ratio of about 5 to 1 allowing for return shipments to cost very little. It's easily stackable as well.  See our graphic showing 60 Quick-Crates in set-up form vs. collapsed form loaded in a 53' trailer.

Replacement Panels

Several customers have reported 50 or more shipping cycles with no damage, but we know material handling can take its toll on shipping containers. If a crate gets damaged, you can simply order the required replacement panel without the expense of replacing the entire box. At Quick-Crate®, all panel programs are stored in our CAD system, which allows for quick and easy replacement orders.

Financial Reward

In addition to maximizing warehouse space and labor savings, the Quick-Crate® system has a distinct advantage over traditional shipping methods. The reusable Quick-Crate® system pays for itself after the second or third return trip. Customers who have 10 trips per year from our reusable system can expect to save 60-80 percent of their annual packaging costs. Customers who have 50 or more trips from a large inventory of boxes can expect six to seven figure savings. This simple system also saves customers thousands of man hours previously spent building and breaking down traditional crates. View our Economic Model to learn more.
