The LP-BA-6417 is a Maxinest-type bale arm container engineered for retail, fresh produce, and e-commerce logistics. With a 600×400 mm Euro footprint and 167 mm height, it offers a perfect balance between handling efficiency, product protection, and space-saving performance.

The bale arm mechanism enables two operating modes:

  • Stacking (arms up) — creates a stable and secure load frame.
  • Nesting (arms down) — allows up to 70 % space saving on return transport.

This model features ventilated sidewalls and base, ensuring continuous airflow for chilled and fresh products. Its ribbed bottom structure provides firm positioning for stacked crates and smooth movement on belt conveyors (not suited for roller conveyors). Made from food-grade polypropylene copolymer (PPC), the LP-BA-6417 is durable, washable, and ideal for high-rotation reusable packaging systems across Europe.

Applications & Industry Uses

  • Fresh Produce & Agriculture – ventilated walls promote airflow and maintain produce freshness throughout the chill chain.
  • Grocery & Retail Distribution – Euro-footprint fits standard pallets; stack for outbound, nest for return trips.
  • E-Commerce & Dark-Store Fulfillment – belt-conveyor friendly crate for automated picking, sorting, and dispatch.
  • Foodservice & Bakery Supply – reusable hygienic container for bakery, dairy, and prepared foods.
  • Reusable Pooling Systems – long-life asset for 3PLs and closed-loop returnable packaging networks.

Usage Scenarios

  • Produce Packing & Cooling
    Crates filled with fresh vegetables move on belt conveyors through pre-cooling lines; perforated design maintains airflow and prevents moisture build-up.
  • Supermarket Distribution Center
    Used for mixed grocery loads; stacked for outbound, nested after unloading, reducing vehicle cube and backhaul costs.
  • E-Grocery Fulfillment Hub
    Operates seamlessly on belt-driven sorters; modular 600×400 mm size supports picking automation and order staging.
  • Reusable Packaging Pool
    Durable, wash-tunnel compatible crate cycles through multiple clients, reducing waste and cost in shared logistics programs.

Sustainability & Reusability

Designed for repeated use and recycling, the LP-BA-6417 supports sustainable logistics operations. Its ventilated structure optimizes cooling efficiency, while its space-saving nestability lowers return-trip emissions. At end-of-life, the crate’s PPC material is 100 % recyclable, supporting compliance with EU circular economy standards.

The LP-BA-6417 Bale Arm Container is a 600×400 mm Maxinest-style reusable crate tailored for fresh produce, grocery, and e-commerce distribution. Its ventilated construction, ribbed conveyor-safe base, and stack-nest efficiency make it a high-performance solution for European retail and food logistics networks seeking cost efficiency, hygiene, and sustainability.
