More Information
Summary:A crate (10) has a thin-walled body (12) defining a cavity for receiving a plurality of containers and a base (16) on which the containers can be supported. The crate also has a crate insert (14) located wholly or substantially wholly in the cavity of the body. The insert provides a spacer arrangement (14.1) suitably above the floor of the body for separating containers in the crate from one another in normal use. The crate insert has load-bearing pillars for forming part of a composite load bearing pillar (14.2) construction with pillars of lower and/or higher crates of a substantially identical construction when the crate is located in a stack of crates. The insert may be secured to the crate body by locating formations (32).
