Bale-Arm Trays: Practical and Stackable Storage for Retail and Distribution

What are Bale-Arm Trays?

Bale-arm trays are plastic storage containers fitted with metal arms that allow them to be stacked or nested. They are commonly used in retail and distribution environments to handle goods efficiently. This is due to their ability to streamline inventory management, enhance product protection, and improve overall efficiency.

Stackable When Full, Nestable When Empty.

The unique design of bale-arm trays allows them to be stacked securely when loaded, protecting the contents below. When empty, the arms fold inward, enabling the trays to nest and save space. These space saving properties are essential in modern warehousing and retail where space is at a premium and unused storage equipment becomes both impractical and costly.

Improving Logistics Efficiency.

This dual functionality makes bale-arm trays ideal for operations that involve frequent transportation and returns as they help to maximise space during both delivery and return journeys. This saves money in the transportation of goods but also saves money in the purchase of extra storage equipment. This is because bale-arm trays are usable in transit, in storage, and also in presentation on shop floors, meaning they are useful at every stage of a product’s journey.

Durable and Easy to Clean.

Made from strong plastic materials, bale-arm trays are designed for repeated use. Their smooth surfaces also make them easy to clean, supporting hygiene requirements in various industries.
