Wooden Crates at A&M Pallets

Wooden crates are ideal to transport or store large, heavy or awkward items. Originally from the Latin word used for baskets, the wooden crate may be generally referred to as a wooden box, yet for a wooden container to be a crate, all six of its sides must be put in place to result in the rated strength of the container. The strength of a wooden box is rated based on the weight it can carry before the top, ends, and sides are installed, whereas the strength of a crate is rated with the top in place.

May it be of wood, plastic, metal or other materials—a crate implies a large and strong container. Yet, the term 'crate' used alone often implies one constructed of wood.

There are many reasons why people opt for wooden crates to store their goods. One is that the purchase price of wooden crates is lower than for most other material which may offset some of the higher costs for the increase in volume when transporting. Wooden crates are also easy to produce and acquire and demands much lower investments in the manufacturing process due to simpler design. They are generally easy and efficient to produce with customer specified measurements.

The manufacturing process of nailing the boards together in a wooden crate makes opening the crate a tough job thus, decreasing the risk of unauthorized access to the goods. The relatively thick walls of wooden crates increase stacking possibilities as wood often exhibits a high tolerance for vertical pressure if evenly distributed. From open crates using lumber for sheathing, closed wooden crates enclosed with material such as plywood or lumber boards to wooden crates with skids—A&M Pallets deals in quality wooden crates.
