The Ace 460 holds 445 litres or 1200kg of catch and when empty and weighs just 33.40kg. Being lighter than insulated tubs, the Ace 460 has a better payload to weight ratio, making manual handling easier and chills faster. It has optional drainage ports and hoist-grips and three integral runners for safe forklift tipping. An Ace 460 lid is available to suit both chain hoisting and forklift handling.

With a footprint of 1200mm by 1000mm and height of 580mm, the Ace 460 interstacks with the standard Dolav Ace. Options are one or two built-in, two-inch drainage ports, two or three integrally moulded-in runners and solid or perforated sides and base and built-in hoist grips. Dolav ‘Smart Solution’ options include a moulded-in RFID label, an antimicrobial additive and logo ID choices of embossing or hot stamping.

In chilled logistic chains, the single-sided injection moulded Ace 460 box enables more efficient cooling of the fish than in insulated tubs. This single-walled box also offers greater hygiene as it does not have inter-wall insulation, which can be a site for contamination.
