Where and how they\u2019re kept determines whether they\u2019ll be ready and working next season. Equipment storage for the olive harvest season in a container offers a clean, dry and secure solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why olive equipment needs proper storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Harvest equipment is an investment<\/strong> \u2014 and it takes a beating. Left in a lean-to or a corner of the yard, exposed to damp, rain and rodents, the outcome is predictable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nets grow mould, rot where they touch the ground and tear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metal harvesters and chainsaws rust, and their mechanisms seize up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Batteries and power tools suffer from humidity and temperature swings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wooden crates and ladders wear down and lose their strength.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing this equipment every two or three years costs many times more than organised storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you store in a container out of season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Harvest nets, clean and fully dry, folded and on <a href=\"https:\/\/chaniacontainer.gr\/en\/ygrasia-container-prostasia-epiplon\/\">pallets<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harvesters (electric, petrol or battery) and pruning tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crates, sacks, baskets and fruit transport containers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ladders, pumps, motors and small machinery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fertilisers, pesticides and consumables (in sealed, watertight packaging).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The container in the grove or at your premises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The big advantage for the producer is that the container can be placed exactly where it\u2019s needed: <strong>next to the olive grove or the farm store<\/strong>. That way the equipment is always close by, isn\u2019t hauled back and forth, and is protected from theft \u2014 a real problem on remote plots. Alternatively, if there\u2019s no suitable space or access, the equipment is kept at our facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing equipment before storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean nets and tools of soil, leaves and fruit residue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dry everything completely \u2014 especially nets, which hold moisture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drain fuel from powered tools and disconnect batteries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightly oil metal parts to protect against rust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add moisture absorbers and raise everything onto pallets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of the container for the farmer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Watertightness and security in a robust, locked steel structure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible duration: keep the container only out of season or all year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low, fixed cost compared with building a permanent store.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It moves: if you change grove or plot, the container follows you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.kt-accordion-id3299_b148ce-52
