Box storage
Storage in boxes is a perfect system to separate different products, varieties, sizes and qualities. Box storage is storing product in wooden boxes (160x120x123cm). Boxes can be stacked 4-5 boxes high and need to be handled with a forklift. Boxes can be filled with a box filling machine. The main benefit is that many different products can be stored in the same storage room. This results in the option to store two different products in the same year, both grown in their most favourable season.
Box storage is specifically suitable for the following products:
