Why Use Bekins Green Crates?
- Crates make packing and unpacking quicker, easier and more cost-effective.
- Renting a crate is less expensive than purchasing a traditional cardboard box. And crates are larger, so less are required.
- Crates are faster to load, to stack on dollies, load on trucks and unload at the other end. This efficiency saves time and labor.
- Crates are sturdier and do not "crush", regardless of how full or empty. Thus, packed items are protected and stacking does not have to be strategic to avoid an avalanche.
- Crates include sealed lids, therefore contents are not lost.
- Because plastic crates are reusable, they are more environmentally sound. Cardboard boxes require significant resources and energy to manufacture and take up valuable landfill space when discarded. Bekins Green Crates have a lifespan of more than 10 years; they can be reused hundreds of times more than single-use boxes. One crate can eliminate over 400 boxes from landfill waste.
- No assembly or taping is required and no box breakdown is needed.
- Crates maximize "cubing" and more efficiently utilize truck space.
