ABSTRACT:
A plastic knockdown, stackable bin-pallet for loading, transporting and storing fruits, vegetables, fish, or other foods is composed of five major components readily assembled and disassembled, after their initial manufacturing, by using their respective interfitting structures, and without using tools or fasteners. When assembled, an open top bin is ready for loading, transporting, and storing, while containing fruits, vegetables, fish, or other food products. When emptied, the five major knockdown components are completely separated, cleaned, and then consolidated, to occupy a comparatively small volume, in contrast to the larger receiving volume of the assembled bin-pallet,, during their handling, storage, and transport, when emptied. These F.D.A. approved strong plastic bin-pallets are: easily cleaned; do not draw moisture out of the stored fruits, vegetables, fish or other food products; do not damage easily; are modularly replaceable in respect to a respective damaged component of the overall five major components, as other components remain undamaged; and are transported by truck or other carriers at much lower overall costs to the places where they are to be filled with fruit, vegetables, fish or other food products. In warehouses and elsewhere, when loaded and stacked, they are stacked to at least the same heights as loaded wood bins, which hold comparable volumes of fruit, vegetables, fish, or other food products.
