‌Plastic storage box(crate) is a logistics equipment designed to be used in conjunction with forklifts, shelves, and other equipment. It can be used for storing, loading, and transporting goods. It is one of the indispensable equipment in modern logistics warehousing, with diverse types and widespread applications.

‌It is a plastic product made by injection molding of PP or HDPE. Most customers purchase it for indoor use, including warehouse turnover and storage. The typical annual operating temperature is above 0℃. However, when northern customers use it in winter, they may need to operate it in low-temperature environments. At this time, customers are required not only to choose the appropriate material but also to operate it accurately to ensure its long-term use.

To prevent the brittleness of storage box(crate), the following measures should be taken:

1. Choosing the Right Material Is Key

HDPE‌ is more resistant to cold than PP,‌ and is less prone to brittle fracture at low temperatures. ‌Low-Temperature Resistant PC/ABS Alloy‌ maintains an impact strength of ≥45MPa at -40°C, making it suitable for extreme environments such as cold storage.

2. Three-pronged Approach to Process Optimization

1. Adjust the molding process and post-processing technique;

2. Reasonably adjust the mold temperature and injection temperature;

3. Optimize the design and preheat the inserts.

3. Handle With Care During Operation

Under low temperatures, plastic becomes brittle and its toughness decreases. During handling, avoid throwing or severe impacts. Overloading accelerates aging, so always use it within the manufacturer's specified load limits.

4. Daily Maintenance Tips

1. Store in the dark‌: UV rays accelerate aging; keep in a cool place.

2. ‌Keep dry‌: Humid environments promote material decomposition.

3. Clean regularly‌: Stains may accelerate aging; clean the surface promptly.
