In addition to the varieties of these crates, there are standard sizes of these crates that can be used in many places and require different measures of maintenance, among other things. To ensure that these crates serve their intended purpose, it is prudent to examine some of their specifications and maintenance measures.

Specifications

• Size: Plastic crates come in several dimensions depending on storage needs or transportation purposes. Size is, therefore, one of the considerations in choosing a hinge crate: sizes vary, but the smallest will be 12 inches in length, while the largest size will be 48 inches in length.
• Material: Conversely, most of these crates are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, which are durable plastic materials. Both materials are very tough and impact-resistant, meaning they are incapable of breaking easily. Crates are also resistant to moisture and chemicals, making them applicable in various topical conditions.
• Load capacity: There is a load capacity for any plastic hinge crate, after which its contents can be filled without difficulty. Be aware that this limit is to ensure that the stability of the contents is preserved as well as the integrity of the product; average hinge crates have load capacity of around 50 to 100 kgs.
• Color and design: These kinds of crates are normally made in a variety of colors to help in classification or simply in aesthetic purposes. They can be perforated for ventilation or opaque for products that need protection from exposure to light. While opaquely colored crates are mainly used to store products, those intended for merchandising display purposes are mostly available in glossy colors.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: These crates are easy to clean. Mild detergents, hot water, and a soft brush should do the trick. The best way to clean the ventilated hinge crates is to do it right away so that any grime or residue left will be easy to remove.
• Storage: One of the ways to prolong the life of plastic crates is to avoid putting them in the open, where they will have exposure to the sun for a long time, especially if it is summer. A hinged crate may be stored indoors in order to prevent it from warping and usually placed in a specific location.
• Inspections: In its usage, it is important to discern whether a hinge, particularly a plastic one, is deteriorating or shows an obvious sign of wear and tear. Any cracks or breaking up of the litter should be observed and taken care of in good time to avoid eventually collapsing the crate and ruining the items inside it.
• Stacking: Ensure stable and safe storage of these crates by the instructions of the manufacturer. Overloading hinges or poorly distributing the load would lead to a disaster, and that is why ensuring correct instruction adherence is vital for maintenance.
