Wherever goods are stacked, picked, or loaded in logistics centres, the wire mesh container is a standard piece of equipment: a collapsible transport unit made of welded steel mesh panels on a steel pallet base. Standardised to DIN 15155, it fits a standard Euro pallet and can be handled entirely by forklift or pallet truck. The open mesh structure allows visual inspection of contents, free air circulation, and rapid identification – advantages particularly valued for fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, or small automotive parts. When empty, wire mesh containers fold flat, cutting return transport volume significantly. As reusable assets, they are typically operated in pool systems across retail, industrial, and pharmaceutical supply chains.
