In the food industry, many companies who have a need to use crates now use crate rental as a cost-effective alternative to outright purchase. Why? Well because many prudent Financial Controllers will not release capital expenditure for plastic food crates which the company cannot effectively manage – i.e. retrieve them from third parties. This can cause a lot of hassle for many businesses and often many do not know where to turn to get the service they so require at an affordable price that is still cheaper than purchasing them directly.

Fortunately PPS Equipment Management, a company based in Measham in the Midlands, offers many companies much more than just crate rental. The PPS “full service option” includes crate rental, online asset management and crate washing to ensure they are a one stop solution to crate rental needs.

So, any companies, particularly in the food sector who are considering crate rental would be well advised to contact PPS to discuss the pros and cons of crate rental. PPS has a large fleet of plastic crates used for crate rental to companies throughout the UK. They will discuss your individual requirements and then make a proposal to you based on a number of parameters connected to the crate rental. PPS can offer short- medium- or long-term contracts; seasonal peaks or demand spikes can also be accommodated.

Employing a professional operator like PPS for your crate rental demands allows you to concentrate on your core business, and PPS to concentrate on theirs. By entering a crate rental agreement with PPS you are in effect removing one layer of bureaucracy from your own operation, freeing up employee time for other duties.
As a food company you don’t make any profit on crates, but you can certainly make a loss on them! So like most things in life leave crate rental to the professionals.
