HOW V-CRATES WORK

Assembly Is A Snap!V-Crates consist of rabbeted panels, held together withextremely strong, detachable, spring-hardened steel fasteners.(Single-use V-Crates feature polycarbonate fasteners.) Theysimply snap into pre-cut slots on each panel.

A specially designed fastener release tool is provided withcontainers, which can quickly release and/or pry the fasteneroff when desired.

V-Crates™ can be stored and transported flat when not in use.

QUICK – EASY – EFFICIENT!

1. Stacked and dismantled – V-Crates (unless extra large insize) can be assembled or dismantled by one person injust minutes.

2. Assembling the container - No special tools are required.Simply place one rabbeted side panel into the rabbeted edgeon the base. Secure by snapping fasteners into the pre-cutslots on both panels. Continue with remaining panels andfasteners in desired order. Specialized containers,dunnage, locks, etc. will require additional instructions.

3. Attaching the lid – Lastly, the lid is placed into positionand fastened to the four assembled side panels. TheV-Crate™ is complete and ready for use.

IT’S JUST THAT EASY!

Are Reusable Transport ContainersRight for You?Businesses should consider utilizing reusable transportcontainers when they can save money and resources. Also, byimplementing returnable containers as part of corporateprocess improvements, businesses could achieve moreproductivity out of an existing facility.

Ideal Conditions for Reusables:• Operate closed or managed open-loop systems • Manufacturers and suppliers located near one another • Repetitive and constant flow of products between more

than one business • Have own trucking fleet • Ship large, bulky and/or easily damaged products,

currently requiring expensive custom single-use containers
