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 sheet for more detailed information. |

Strength & Durability
Quick-Crate® is designed to achieve phenomenal strength and can withstand up to 10,000 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.

Replacement Panels
Using the reusable system, some customers have reported 50 or more shipping cycles with no damage, 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.

Environment and Bug Controls
Quick-Crate® is designed to be an environmentally friendly product. Made from 100 percent managed forests, Quick-Crate® panels and pallet bases are constructed from 18 mm (3/4") 9-ply, exterior grade, premium plywood. Because of the heating processes used in plywood manufacturing, our product meets or exceeds all import and export bug certification requirements. All of our products comply with ISPM 15 regulations. See our FAQ for detailed export information.

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.
