About
A crate is a rigid shipping container built to hold goods, typically measuring a couple of feet across.
Crates vary widely in size, ranging from small plastic milk crates to massive wooden containers used to transport machinery. Unlike ordinary cardboard boxes, a wooden or steel frame allows crates to support hundreds of pounds stacked directly on top of them. Their exact interior capacity depends on whether they are built with open wooden slats or solid, fully enclosed walls.
From Wikipedia
A crate is a large shipping container, often made of wood, typically used to transport or store large, heavy items. Steel and aluminium crates are also used.
