Plastic Storage Crates

What is a Crate?

A crate is best described to you as a box. But this box is designed in such a way that it is made of only structures. Think of them as skeleton boxes, where individual straight components are attached to one another, forming a box. They can be found in supermarkets, when you bring your grocery shopping crate. That is the one we are dealing with here.

Features of a Plastic Storage Crate

These boxes are manufactured with handles on them. You want to carry something light, don't you? Their standard weight falls within the range of 4 to 6 pounds (or approximately 2.5kg or less). You can carry them easily this way. The standard dimension is 15 1/4 inches x 13-3/4 inches x 10-1/2 inches.

Some have rolling wheels at the bottom. Making it an easier task. Just roll them around instead of carrying them with your hands. This saves your energy. The best usage for these crates are using them to carry "watery" items. Some items, like vegetables, milk bottles can have liquid dripping off. You would want a hollow box for this purpose. Otherwise, fluid or liquid will accumulate at the bottom of your box. Laundry anyone?
