Screwing or gluing? Repairing comes first!
Repair was already taken into consideration during the design phase – consistent design for repair. The FridayBOX is made of plywood and is held together by eight screws. Other than that there are no parts made from metal or plastics. The screws can be tightened and loosened with a T20 or RW20 bit over and over againg.
With the screws it is possible to repair the box and exchange parts. With glued parts that would just be not possible. And that is what makes the FridayBOX even more long-lasting and sustainable!
Repairs are so easy – replace the side panel
Spare parts help with repairs
To be honest, the need for spare parts has so far been negligible: with a good thousand crates in use for more than a year, we have needed exactly four new corner blocks and one new base. But whatever you need, just let us know and we will send you a spare part for exchange the broken one. Please contact Michael at info@friday-box.com
Stefan Schneider from Cologne-based cargo bike logistics company LAMICA has been using our folding box almost every day since fall 2023 and is delighted with the FridayBOX. You can see from the pictures that the boxes are really being used – and one actually broke. One base and two corners were replaced.
Tuning?
Our foldable boxes are not complicated. With a bit of skills, time and effort everyone could make the side parts with a coping saw. The assembly with 8 screws is a piece of cake; just don’t tighten the screws too much! We have some initial ideas on how to tune the FridayBOX or with which hack to use it for something special.
