For Vegetable Harvesting and Cold Storage: 500L Produce Storage Bin With Perforated Sides for Airflow
Product Spotlights
Since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been a trusted manufacturer in the agricultural and industrial storage industry. With annual export values reaching US$5–10 million and serving markets across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, our 500L Produce Storage Bin with Perforated Sides for Airflow represents the ideal solution for vegetable harvesting and cold storage operations. Designed to maximize freshness and efficiency, this bin is engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern farms, processing facilities, and cold chain logistics.
Key Features & Benefits
- 500-Liter Large Capacity – Holds up to 500 liters of produce, reducing the number of trips during harvest and transport. Ideal for bulk handling of vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and root crops.
- Perforated Side Walls for Superior Airflow – Strategically placed holes on all sides ensure continuous air circulation, preventing moisture buildup, reducing mold and bacterial growth, and extending the shelf life of fresh produce.
- Food-Grade Polypropylene Construction – Made from durable, BPA-free, and FDA-compliant polypropylene (PP) that is safe for direct contact with food. The material resists cracking, impact, and temperature extremes, making it suitable for repeated use in cold storage environments.
- Nestable & Stackable Design – When empty, bins nest inside each other to save up to 75% storage space. When loaded, they stack securely with interlocking ridges, allowing stable stacking up to 5–6 bins high.
- Ergonomic Handles – Integrated handles on both sides facilitate easy lifting and carrying, even when fully loaded. Optional hand grip openings are available for forklift or pallet jack compatibility.
- Reinforced Base & Rim – Heavy-duty ribbed base and rolled rim provide extra strength and prevent deformation under heavy loads. The bin can withstand dynamic loads up to 200 kg.
- Easy Cleaning & Maintenance – Smooth interior surfaces and rounded corners minimize dirt accumulation. The bin can be cleaned with standard industrial washers or high-pressure hoses, ensuring hygiene compliance.
- Customizable Options – Available in multiple colors (green, blue, gray), with or without drainage holes, and with optional lid or caster attachments. Branding or barcode labels can be added upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Can this bin be used in a freezer or cold room? Yes, the bin is designed for cold storage environments with temperatures as low as -20°C. The polypropylene material remains flexible and impact-resistant even at low temperatures.
- How do the perforated sides help preserve vegetables? The holes allow constant air exchange, reducing humidity and preventing condensation on the produce. This slows down respiration and inhibits mold growth, keeping vegetables fresher for longer.
- Are these bins stackable when full of heavy produce? Yes, they are designed with reinforced stacking ridges and a strong base. Full bins can be stacked up to 5 high when filled with produce up to 150 kg, but we recommend testing under your specific load conditions.
- What is the material – is it food safe? Our bins are made from virgin polypropylene (PP) that meets FDA and EU food contact standards. No recycled or contaminated materials are used. We provide material certificates upon request.
- Can I get a custom size or color? Absolutely. We offer customization services for dimensions, hole patterns, handles, and colors. Minimum order quantity may apply for custom designs – please inquire with our sales team.
- What is the typical lead time and shipping method? For standard models, production takes 15–20 days after order confirmation. We ship via FOB, CIF, or EXW terms from Tianjin, Qingdao, or Shanghai. Air freight is also available for urgent orders.
- Do you provide samples before bulk order? Yes, sample orders are welcome. We can send a single bin for evaluation. The sample cost is deductible from your first bulk order.
- Is the bin UV resistant for outdoor use? Our standard bins include UV stabilizers to withstand sunlight exposure during temporary outdoor harvesting. For prolonged outdoor use, we recommend adding extra UV protection – please specify when ordering.
