Pelican SCREW,1440,PHILLIPS-HEAD (pan head)

Fastener supply rooms across distribution centres and cold-store facilities keep these pan-head Phillips screws on hand for assembling and repairing plastic crates. The low-profile head sits flush against ribbed container walls so forklift tines and conveyor rollers pass cleanly without catching. Maintenance teams reach for them when a corner bracket cracks or a divider rail works loose on a tote that cycles through picking lines every shift.

Driving the screw is straightforward with a standard #2 Phillips bit; the deep cross recess resists cam-out even when the operator works at arm’s length inside a stacked bay. Threads engage cleanly in the moulded bosses of polypropylene and HDPE bins, drawing the joint tight without stripping the plastic. Because the head does not protrude, nested crates still stack square and automated de-stackers do not jam on proud fasteners. The result is fewer damaged containers, less downtime on the sortation line, and a repair that holds through repeated wash cycles.
