Compare with Fc577
The Fc588 flower bucket is the successor to the Fc577 with a much better fit on a CC container. The basic size of the Fc588 is the same as the Fc544 and most products have the same load per container in the Fc588 as in the Fc577. This is because of the optimization of the internal space and the lowering of the extension rack when using it upright. With an equal load per container, the load factor increases by 50% on a CC layer and 11% on a stacking trolley shelf.
