Vented bulk bins and crates for Tasmanian growers
Tasmania grows a big share of the nation's processing potatoes and onions, in a cool climate that rewards good airflow. We supply vented food-grade bulk bins and crates that protect the crop field-to-store, and fold flat to cut Bass Strait back-haul.
Airflow for the crop
Vented walls move air through the stack so potatoes and onions hold condition and store longer.
Flat for the Strait
Folding and nesting bins collapse empty to cut the cost of shipping empties back across Bass Strait.
Food-grade and reused
Food-grade HDPE that hoses down clean and comes back season after season, no splinters or rot.
Sized for the crop and the Strait
Tasmanian potato and onion growers move serious volume into processing and storage, and every empty bin shipped back across Bass Strait costs freight. Our vented bins keep the cool-climate crop in condition with airflow through the stack, then fold or nest flat so you are not paying to ship air across the Strait.

What Tasmania runs on
Tasmania punches well above its size in food. The state grows a large share of the nation's processing potatoes and is a major onion, vegetable and seed producer, feeding processors and packers across the north-west, the north and the midlands. Dairy, salmon, fruit and a strong cool-climate horticulture sector round out a handling market built around food-grade, wash-down clean equipment.
The complicating factor is Bass Strait. Everything that comes onto the island, and every empty bin that goes back, crosses the Strait at a freight cost, so handling that folds or nests flat empty pays for itself quickly. Vented food-grade bins that protect the cool-climate crop and collapse for back-haul are a natural fit for Tasmanian growers and processors.

Common questions
Do you deliver to Tasmania?
Yes, across Tasmania north and south. Send your delivery postcode with the quote and we will include Bass Strait freight and lead time.
Why folding bins for Tasmania?
Every empty bin shipped back across Bass Strait costs freight. Folding and nesting bins collapse flat empty, so you reclaim space and cut back-haul cost.
Are the bins good for potato and onion storage?
Yes, vented food-grade bins move air through the stack so the cool-climate crop dries down and stores without the rot that solid boxes invite.
Are they food-grade?
Yes, moulded food-grade HDPE that hoses down clean between seasons for HACCP-aligned handling.
