If the pallets are likely to be outdoors at any stage, it may be best to opt for a waterproof option. Plastic boxes are perfect for such a scenario, as they won’t be compromised by any moisture, and are overall more versatile. As they come in a wide range of sizes, you can also use them with larger products, making them a useful tool in transit.

When dealing with many products, it is often easy to lose track of exactly what should be stored, and where each should be transported to. As a simple and effective solution, we sell all of our plastic boxes in different colours and designs, so you can be organised in addition to being well-equipped.

Here at PPS Direct, we are very environmentally conscious and encourage recycling of products wherever we can. To account for this, we sell reusable and used pallets, so that good condition pallets which are no longer needed, can be passed on to people and companies who need them.

As a large stockist in returnable transit equipment, we at PPS Direct can offer you the most durable heavy duty plastic storage boxes and pallets available. With the ability to add numerous benefits to your business, including productivity and organisation, we have the tools to supply the goods which will make your transportation run smoother and with greater ease.

If you transport or store goods, it may be that returnable and reusable equipment is a must for your operations. And if yes is your Accounts Department ready to sign off on the necessary capital expenditure needed?

If capex is unavailable, you may wish to speak to a Midlands-based specialist in RTE, already providing equipment such as food crates, pallets, wire mesh containers and roll cages across a broad range of industries.

Not only will they supply your equipment – on short- medium- or long-term contracts, they will  use their own proprietary online asset tracking software system to allow them to retrieve the equipment from your customers, they will bring it back to their Midlands depot and wash or sterilize it prior to returning it to the pool.

PPS specialise in crate hire, crate rental, roll cages and storage boxes

This wash contract was chosen for a number of reasons:

•    Professional wash standards – washing to ISO 22000
•    Ability to deep clean the boxes which may have varying degrees of soiling.
•    Flexible working times allowing Wilkinsons to book in loads at differing times of the day.
•    Proximity to Wilkinsons distribution operations.

As well as the attached lid boxes, the wash contractor can wash nestable crates, collapsible boxes and plastic pallets.

PPS specialise in crate hire, crate rental, roll cages and storage boxes

PPS has a large fleet of plastic food crates and plastic pallets used by clients in an integrated loop system. The company rents out this returnable transit equipment, retrieves it from third parties in the marketplace and returns these goods to its Midlands base where state-of-the-art washing lines clean and sterilize returned equipment.

What products can PPS wash? Plastic nestable crates, collapsible boxes, attached lid boxes and plastic pallets are all washed to exacting standards. After washing, all equipment is shrink-wrapped and made ready for collection. A bar coding system allows PPS to track all washed equipment.

Does PPS only wash its own equipment? No, they offer wash facilities to clients on an ad hoc basis, or term contracts, to cater for seasonal spikes in client’s production or just when a client needs a single “one-off” wash.

Can PPS wash equipment irrespective of what has been carried in the equipment? No – because much of the washing carried out by PPS is in the food sectors, they must be very careful of what comes onto their site in case of possible contamination. For example they recently turned down the opportunity to wash crates for a well-known health food company as some of the test boxes sent in contained slivers of broken glass.

PPS specialise in these main areas, crate rental, crate hire, roll cages and storage boxes.
