The world of modern farming is changing rapidly due to quickly advancing agricultural technology. This is why choosing the right agricultural containers for the job is crucial for protecting the harvest and protecting your bottom line. The right agricultural container will allow you to harvest berries, store produce, and transport bulk goods, all in one product.
At Thunderbird Plastics, we specialize in heavy-duty, reusable plastic containers designed for agricultural use. Our product line ranges from ventilated nest and stack bins to watertight bulk containers and much more. We are also proud to offer custom injection moulding solutions for bringing a project from concept to reality or for containers that fit automated and mechanized machinery.
Why Agricultural Containers Matter So Much

Our Nest and Stack Berry Tray with dividers
Agricultural bins and harvest containers are some of the most handled pieces of equipment during and after harvest. In some cases, both farmers and customers will be handling these containers. For example, our Nest and Stack Berry Tray is engineered to nest or stack with a 180-degree turn, making it the perfect durable choice for harvesting, transporting, and displaying delicate crops such as berries or small fruits.
For more humid conditions where food safety is also a concern, our ventilated plastic pallets are a great choice because they do not pose any risks from any coatings, mildew, or debris from traditional wooden pallets.
Benefits of Reusable Agricultural Plastic Containers
Our reusable plastic agricultural bins are made from high-density polyethylene and offer many benefits:
- Reusable and Cost-Effective: Replacing single-use options like cardboard with reusable containers offers long-term value, efficient packaging and transportation, and a positive environmental impact.
- Moisture-Resistant: Our plastic containers will not absorb moisture, leaving no risk of mold, mildew, or unwanted odors.
- Vented and Stackable: Our containers have varying levels of ventilation to allow for optimal airflow, minimizing spoilage and maximizing freshness.
- Easy to Clean: Easy to clean and sanitize for continuous use.
- Food Safe: Our HDPE containers can safely come into contact with food.
- Space-Saving: Many of our containers can both nest and stack for efficient storage.
Types of Agricultural Containers We Offer
Ventilated Containers
Many of our ventilated agricultural containers come with varying degrees of ventilation holes, which provide the exact level of ventilation required. These are ideal for cooling and storing produce like blueberries or cherries at the optimal levels of temperature and humidity. These containers are lightweight yet rigid, with ergonomic handles for those long harvest hours.
Watertight Agricultural Containers and Bins

Our Hands-Free Crate
Certain types of produce require the smoothest of surfaces to protect delicate produce during transportation. Our watertight agricultural containers prevent leaks and preserve freshness even during long hauls.
