About Pallet Crates
Pallet crates have changed greatly since the early 20th century. In the 1910s, the forklift required a standardized platform for effective material handling, leading to the contemporary pallet. These plastic bulk containers came into picture after that.
In the 1920s and 1930s, pallet design developed, culminating in the four-way pallet during World War II, which allowed forklift access from all sides and considerably enhanced logistic efficiency. Pallets became essential to worldwide trade and logistics after the war, improving cargo transit.

Collapsibility distinguishes them from other storage containers and makes them useful for logistics and supply chain space-saving.

Furthermore, these plastic pallet crates have become widely used due to their versatility in warehouses. Common names include collapsible pallet bins and black plastic storage crates. This also varies by industry, use cases, size, and multiple other factors.
