There are many variations of Wooden Crate designs. By far the most common are closed , open and framed.
The strength of a wooden box is rated based on the weight it can carry before the top (top, ends, and sides).
Stringer pallets use a frame of three or more parallel pieces of timber (called stringers).
Crates can be made of wood, plastic, metal or other materials. The term crate often implies a large and strong container.
Goods or shipping containers are often placed on a pallet secured with strapping, stretch wrap or shrink wrap and shipped.
Typically when the gap between boards is greater than the distance required for expansion, the crate would be considered an open crate.
The top deck boards are then affixed to the stringers to create the pallet structure.
Goods or shipping containers are often placed on a pallet secured with strapping, stretch wrap or shrink wrap and shipped.
