A well-built wooden produce bin typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Our nailing system is designed for maximum strength, keeping bins rigid through years of harvests, forklift handling and cool store cycles. Over that lifespan, a quality bin works out to be one of the cheapest pieces of equipment on the farm.
Our wooden bins are used for apples and other fruit, potatoes, onions, vegetables and even potting mix. Because every bin is custom made, we can build it around the weight, size and handling needs of what you grow, whether that’s delicate fruit or heavy root crops.
Yes. There’s no standard bin, because no two growers handle produce the same way. We can build to your dimensions, capacity and handling setup, and work through forklift entry, stacking and how the bins move through your packing shed or cool store. Tell us what you grow and how you handle it, and we’ll design a bin to suit.
Our produce bins are made to order, so the size is set by what you need, not by a catalogue. We’ll work from the produce you’re storing, the weight per bin, your forklift and cool store setup, and how high you stack. That way every bin fits your operation from the paddock to the packing shed.
Yes. We offer both dressed and bullnosed bins. Dressed bins use smooth, planed timber on the inside surfaces, which helps protect delicate fruit like apples from bruising and marking. For tougher produce like potatoes and onions, a standard bin may be the more economical choice.
Yes. Our large production facilities are set up for high-volume bin orders with a quick turnaround, so we can keep up with the demands of harvest season. Get your order in early, before the season ramps up, and the team can plan production around your timeline.
Yes. For large orders, bins can be assembled at your site instead of being freighted fully built. Moving bins in component form takes up far less truck space than moving finished bins, which cuts transport costs, especially for growers a long way from our sites.
Yes. Our wooden produce bins are made from certified export-grade materials and can be heat treated and ISPM 15 stamped, so they clear biosecurity at the destination without quarantine delays. That makes them a good fit for growers sending produce overseas in bulk.
We make produce bins at sites close to Australia’s growing regions, including Mildura, Colac, Glendenning, Clontarf, Edinburgh and Branxholm. Making bins near the farms that use them keeps freight costs down and gets bins to growers faster when the season starts.
Yes. We can stencil your farm name, logo or bin numbers straight onto the bins, in the wording and paint colour you choose. Clear branding makes it easier to keep track of your bins across packing sheds, cool stores and contractors, and helps them find their way back to you.

We have a very busy business sending expensive and delicate joinery around the world, which needs to be wrapped and crated for maximum protection. We looked around and most crate building companies wanted a minimum 2 week turn around, which we found didn’t always work for us, then by chance we found CMTP group. Not only does Kieran and CMTP go out of their way on customer service, but their turnaround is very obliging, and their prices are competitive as well. Oh, and they only use certified export grade materials, so there’s no quarantine troubles at the other end. We would not hesitate in recommending this company.
