In mining and heavy industrial environments, reliable storage and materials handling systems are critical to maintaining safe, efficient and continuous operations. From consumables and spare parts to waste management and transport, operations rely on storage crates that can withstand constant movement, heavy loads and harsh site conditions.
Eco Pallets storage crates are designed to support safe handling, efficient logistics and long-term reuse across mining and industrial environments.
The Eco Pallets Rigid Bin series, including the Eco-Bin NV and Eco-Bin 780 NV, provides a durable and reusable alternative to traditional storage containers. Built for strength, safety and operational efficiency, these storage crates are suited to demanding mining applications where consistency and reliability are essential.


Built for heavy-duty mining storage crates
Eco Pallets storage crates are manufactured from polypropylene and UV-stabilised HDPE, delivering high impact resistance and long-term durability in harsh mining conditions. These materials ensure the crates are weatherproof, corrosion-resistant and suitable for outdoor use, even under prolonged exposure to sun, dust and moisture.
Unlike metal or single-use alternatives, these storage crates do not absorb moisture, harbour pests, or rust over time. Their robust construction makes them suitable for storing bulky or dense materials such as tools, equipment components and operational consumables.
Designed for extended service life, Eco Pallets storage crates can be reused across hundreds of operational cycles. This durability reduces replacement frequency and lowers overall costs while maintaining consistent performance across multiple mining projects.
Forklift-ready storage crates for efficient handling
Efficient handling is essential in mining environments where safety and productivity depend on streamlined logistics. Eco Pallets storage crates are designed to integrate seamlessly with standard site equipment.
The Eco-Bin NV features four-way forklift and pallet jack access, while the Eco-Bin 780 NV offers two-way access. This allows for safe and efficient movement across site, warehouses and transport vehicles. The stackable design supports space efficiency during storage and transport while maintaining stability under load.
These handling features support faster workflows, reduced manual handling and improved site safety, particularly during equipment movement, site expansions and relocations.
Storage crates for every stage of mining operations
Mining operations progress through multiple stages, from exploration and construction through to production and rehabilitation. Reliable storage crates play a key role in maintaining organisation and efficiency across each phase.
Exploration and drilling support
Storage crates are suitable for transporting drilling consumables, sample bags and specialised equipment between locations.
Site establishment and construction
Crates assist with organising electrical components, piping fittings and assembly materials during site setup.
Daily operations
Heavy-duty storage crates are suitable for holding dense materials such as tools, spare parts and machine components required for ongoing operations.
Waste handling and materials segregation
Storage crates can be used to collect and store waste, scrap and non-hazardous materials across mining camps. Smooth internal surfaces allow for easy cleaning and repeat use.
Site closure and rehabilitation
During relocation or mine closure, storage crates support the packing, transport and protection of equipment and materials.
Take the next step with Eco Pallets
For mining and industrial operations focused on safety, durability and efficiency, Eco Pallets storage crates deliver long-term performance in demanding environments. The Rigid Bin series supports reliable logistics, efficient handling and reuse across the full mining lifecycle
FAQ about storage crates
What are storage crates used for in mining operations?
Storage crates are used to store, transport and organise tools, consumables, spare parts and waste across mining sites. Durable storage crates help maintain safety, efficiency and organisation in harsh operating environments.
Are plastic storage crates suitable for mining conditions?
Yes. Storage crates manufactured from UV-stabilised polypropylene or HDPE are impact-resistant, weatherproof and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for demanding mining conditions.
Can storage crates be reused long term in industrial operations?
High-quality storage crates are designed for repeated use across hundreds of operational cycles. Their durability reduces replacement frequency and supports long-term cost efficiency.
Are storage crates compatible with forklifts and pallet jacks?
Industrial storage crates are designed with two-way or four-way forklift and pallet jack access, allowing for safe and efficient handling across mining sites and warehouses.
Do reusable storage crates support sustainability goals?
Yes. Reusable storage crates reduce reliance on single-use packaging, minimise waste generation and support circular economy practices in mining and industrial operations.
