Whether you manage a distribution hub, oversee a catering operation, or coordinate stock movement across multiple sites, investing in the right storage solution can significantly improve efficiency and reduce handling costs.
Used 35.4-litre heavy-duty ventilated Euro stacking boxes
Manufactured by SSI Schaefer, these lightly used stacking Euro containers are incredible value at just £4.95 each excluding VAT, or £5.94 including tax. Bulk pricing reduces the cost to £4.45 each (£5.34 including VAT) when ordering 55 or more units, representing an 11% saving.
With external dimensions of 600 x 400 x 180mm and internal measurements of 552 x 352 x 156mm, these warehouse storage boxes are built to integrate seamlessly into standardised racking systems and automated conveyors. The generous 35.4-litre capacity makes them well suited to bulkier components, larger stock quantities, workshop organisation and high-volume distribution environments.
The design features ventilated sides with a solid base, making these boxes suitable for environments where airflow is required without compromising load support. Ergonomic handholes on the short sides and hand grips on the long enable safer manual handling.
Although lightly used, with a little dust, the boxes are structurally sound. They stack securely and provide a cost-efficient solution for high-turnover operations.
44-litre heavy-duty ventilated ultra-strong stacking plastic crate
Priced from just £3.95 each excluding VAT, or £4.74 including tax, this 44-litre ventilated crate is perfect for catering and distribution use. Bulk purchases of 63 or more units reduce the cost to £3.75 each excluding VAT (£4.50 with tax), giving you a 6% saving.
Manufactured in Japan from polypropylene, these industrial plastic storage boxes are engineered for durability. Each container supports a 40kg load, with a stacked load capacity of up to 1,000kg. This makes them particularly useful as high-volume catering storage boxes and for food distribution systems.
Measuring 522 x 365 x 310mm externally and 470 x 310 x 295mm inside, they can comfortably accommodate 12-inch dinner plates, fresh produce, baked goods and beverages. Ventilated sides and ten holes in the base permit airflow and drainage, which is especially beneficial for fruit, vegetables and warm food distribution.
Weighing just 2kg, they balance strength with ease of handling - handgrips on each side improve manoeuvrability during transport and stacking. Previously used for importing high-value porcelain, they remain structurally perfect, with only minor cosmetic wear.
Our ventilated crates offer a low entry price point while delivering practical organisation options for office supplies, kitchen equipment and home-based catering setups.
Used 32-litre heavy-duty ventilated Euro stacking boxes
Another worthy consideration in this month’s special offers is our used 32-litre ventilated Euro stacking box, available in green, grey or orange. Priced at £4.95 each excluding VAT, or £5.94 including VAT, bulk orders of 55 or more units reduce the cost to £4.45/£5.34 each, saving you 11%.
With standard Euro footprint dimensions of 600 x 400 x 170mm externally and 550 x 350 x 150mm internally, they integrate into your existing warehouse infrastructure. The 32-litre capacity is better suited to organising smaller items, managing fast moving stock lines and improving picking efficiency in compact areas. Perforated sides and base allow maximum airflow, making them suitable for environments where moisture control is necessary.
The green option includes closed handholes with integral label holders for businesses that rely on barcode tracking or visual stock identification; the grey stacking box features open handholes for quick manual handling; the orange version maintains the same footprint, with a slight drop in height along the long sides.
The stacking Euro containers are lightly used and may show minor discolouration, but they remain structurally robust.
Used 30.7-litre special offer Euro plastic stacking container
Our final featured product this month is a used 30.7-litre Euro stacking container, priced at £4.95 each excluding VAT, or £5.94 with VAT. Orders of 55 or more units qualify for a reduced price of £4.45/£5.34 each – that’s an 11% saving.
Manufactured by SSI Schaefer, these containers are recognised as some of the strongest Euro containers on the market. With a maximum load capacity of 50kg per box and a reinforced base, they’re designed for demanding industrial environments.
External dimensions measure 600 x 400 x 170mm, while internally they are 566 x 366 x 148mm. Straight internal walls maximise usable space - an important consideration for businesses seeking to optimise every cubic centimetre. At 2.98kg, the container offers substantial durability without excessive bulk.
Additional features include ergonomic handholes on the short sides and integral label holders on each side. Ideal for warehouse organisation, van racking, product distribution and automated conveyor environments; the containers interstack with Euro units from many suppliers, making them a flexible addition to existing systems.
For procurement managers, key purchasing considerations include load capacity, compatibility and long-term resilience. This model delivers a strong return on investment. As with the other featured products, they also perform effectively in office, garage and home settings.
