Tired of bruised apples and dented cans, any crate recommendations?

I've been looking over our damage reports for the past few months and honestly, the numbers are starting to get embarrassing. It feels like every week we're writing off a whole case of something because it got crushed or punctured while moving around our warehouse in Sharjah. We handle everything from fresh produce to canned beverages to fragile snack items, and our current mix of crates just isn't cutting it. I found a local supplier, Spillco, that sells a range of UAE-made crates designed for warehousing and logistics, which is promising since we want to avoid long shipping delays . I've also seen options from NextBridge that specifically mention ventilated designs for produce, which is exactly what we need to keep fruits and vegetables fresh during internal transport . What I really need are some lightweight plastic crates for safe material handling UAE that are easy for our staff to move around but still durable enough to protect products from bumps and drops. I've noticed that some suppliers offer crates with UV stabilizers to handle the harsh sun, and they're made from impact-resistant materials like HDPE or PP, which seem ideal for our rough warehouse environment . Has anyone here found a specific type of crate that noticeably cut down on their damage rates, or is this just one of those things we have to accept as a cost of doing business?
