Mining operations demand reliable, rugged, and space-conscious equipment. Whether you are operating in a remote exploration camp or managing materials at an active production site, every tool and container must be optimised for safety, efficiency, and longevity.
The Eco-OzCrate 2 from Eco Pallets-one of the most durable collapsible crates on the market—meets these demands head-on. This purpose-built solution enhances logistics and site operations across the mining value chain while saving space and reducing freight costs.
Collapsible crates built for versatility in mining operations
The Eco-OzCrate 2 is not a generic bin-it is a durable and adaptable collapsible crate designed to serve multiple roles across mining operations.
“We recognised the industry’s strong familiarity with fixed, solid-sided bins, so creating a model that closely mirrored existing designs and payloads was a key focus throughout our R&D process,” said Managing Director Matt Logan.
With a generous 750-litre internal volume and robust weight capacity, this crate can handle a wide variety of site requirements, including:
- Holding and moving spare parts, equipment, and tools within camps or warehouses
- Storing personal protective equipment (PPE), supplies, or lubricants in field workshops
- Temporary storage for damaged equipment, used and/or contaminated safety gear for disposal
- Keeping safety and emergency gear like spill kits and first-aid on site
Its ability to shift seamlessly between storage and transport tasks makes these collapsible crates especially useful in dynamic mining environments where space, mobility, and durability are critical.
Why collapsible crates offer strength and space efficiency
“Our second-generation foldable Australian-sized crates have been engineered to perform reliably across a broad range of temperature extremes,” said Matt.
The Eco-OzCrate 2 is constructed from a durable blend of virgin PP and HDPE. This custom co-polymer mix ensures high performance in both cool rooms and high-heat environments.
Transport cost is a major concern in remote mining operations. Available space—especially during return logistics—is always at a premium.
The foldable design of the Eco-OzCrate 2 addresses this issue with a high 3:1 folding ratio, reducing its height from 785 mm to just 299 mm. This allows for:
- More units per truck
- Lower transport costs
- More efficient use of storage and freight space
“These collapsible crates significantly reduce footprint when not in use, which is a major advantage for remote sites,” Matt added.
Benefits of collapsible crates for remote mining logistics
The Eco-OzCrate 2 is more than a bulk container. It is a durable and versatile logistics solution that adapts to real mining sector challenges. Key benefits include:
- Heavy-duty load capacity
- Suitability for extreme environments
- Reduced freight volume
- Reusability and long product life
- Seamless transition between storage and transport use
