Collapsible wire containers offer a diversity of clients a flexible method of storing or transporting goods and are offered in a range of standard designs and architecture. One of the downsides of transporting empty wire containers is that it tends to be quite expensive – hence the introduction of collapsible wire containers.

PPS has offered RTE in the form of plastic pallets and plastic food crates for a number of years from its Measham base and has now opened a new facility in Grimsby servicing that catchment area.

The company offers to sell collapsible wire containers or rent them to clients throughout the UK; and not only will they rent collapsible wire containers, they also offer a full option service where they can also repair any damaged wire containers. PPS will either carry out such repairs at their own site or at the client’s location.

PPS offers a range of wire containers to a wide range of industrial applications – from the food sector, automotive components and general retail.

The company offers not only new wire containers, but will also supply second-hand wire containers on a sale or rental basis. Wire containers come in a range of shapes and sizes and construction parameters and PPS supplies clients throughout the UK from its Midlands head office and also now at a new site in Grimsby.

As an added new service, PPS now offers a repair service for its own fleet of wire containers and those of third parties. Such repairs will either be carried out at a PPS location or they will send a  mobile repair team to clients premises to repair wire mesh containers on site.

PPS Equipment Management Ltd has built up a solid reputation over the past seven years providing services related to returnable transit equipment (RTE). This started as the management of plastic pallets and food crates, but the company has introduced other RTE, notably a range of wire mesh containers.

Heavy duty wire containers are used across a wide range of industries from the food industry to retail to the automotive sector. A typical wire container will be of a robust construction as they tend to take a fair degree of punishment in the work environment.

PPS realised that there was a market in wire containers, not only on a direct sales basis, but also as part of a rental and equipment management option. The company offers prospective clients the further options of new or second-hand wire containers on medium- or long-term hire contract.

As mentioned above, wire containers will inevitably suffer a certain amount of damage during their working life, so PPS has recently set up a new repair service for its fleet of wire containers, and also offers this repair service to third parties. PPS has recently signed a long-term agreement with a leading sports retailer for the ongoing repair of its large fleet of wire containers.

PPS also offers a mobile repair service for wire containers where they will carry out repairs at the clients own premises.

Some specialists have recently moved away from using only plastic containers to transport goods because of the many advantages that the wire containers provide.

This type of container is collapsible which creates extra space within a work place. It is important for these companies to find ways to cut the costs of transport costs and as this type of container can be collapsed and therefore making it possible for transport to be far more efficient.

The companies that supply these containers do so on a rental or purchase basis as well as the management and washing of these transit packaging. Many business have benefitted from using wire containers because they can be cleaned yet still remain extremely durable within this time.

The robustness of these types of containers is the reason there are so many companies that want to use them. They can be repaired, recycled and used for heavy duty applications as well light jobs, perfect for all industries.

Plastic crates and trays are still in use and the suppliers of wire containers are still providing those companies with plastic alternatives because of the benefits that they hold. Stackable and durable, they provide a cost effective solution many companies. The only advantage of the wire and mesh containers is the fact they are so strong.

It is important that the right choice of transport solutions is available from one company who are reliable. Providing their customers with a variety of transportation is not only beneficial to the customer, but allows these companies to provide more solutions to goods transportation industries in the future

These versatile units are collapsible which leads to space saving when not in use, as well as being cost effective when it comes to transporting the units. There are multiple uses for these cages across a broad range of industries – e.g. automotive, engineering, foodstuffs and packaging.

PPS offers these mainly with standard dimensions of 1200×1000x1000mm although custom products can be offered, subject to volume. The construction is of heavy duty electro zinc plate finish which is long-lasting, robust and with a standard half-hinged gate access.

Re-usable and return packaging is the theme promoted by PPS who will also offer to manage client’s returnable transit packaging as one of its key services.

These wire mesh containers are being supplied to leading logistics operations, for warehousing or storage purposes and any application in materials handling where a strong and versatile solution is required.
