Industrial turnover boxes are not a monolithic product category; they comprise various subtypes based on structure and application. Shallow-tray boxes, priced between 5 and 15 yuan per unit, feature a thinner profile and are primarily used by supermarkets and convenience stores for sorting and distributing food and daily necessities; being lightweight and easy to handle, they are ideal for manual, short-distance operations.
Pallet-compatible turnover boxes range from 420 to 680 yuan per unit; characterized by large volume and high load-bearing capacity, they integrate seamlessly with standard pallets. Suitable for cargo stacking and long-distance transport in logistics and warehousing, they can withstand a stacking weight of 1.5 tons, making them the preferred choice for heavy-duty storage environments. Collapsible turnover boxes cost approximately 580 to 680 yuan per unit; they can be folded when not in use to save 70% of storage space, significantly reducing return transport costs for empty containers in logistics fleets that operate frequent round-trip routes.
Another category consists of specialized "EU boxes," which adhere to European standard dimensions (commonly the 600×400 and 400×300 series) and are priced between 6 and 90 yuan per unit. These boxes match perfectly with Euro-standard pallets and offer 30% higher stacking efficiency than standard turnover boxes. Widely used by multinational corporations and in automated warehousing, they are compatible with the robotic arm sorting systems found in high-bay automated warehouses.
