A crate is a large shipping container, often made of wood, often used to transport large, heavy or awkward items. A crate has a self-supporting structure, with or without sheathing. For a container to be a crate, all six of its sides must be put in place to result in the rated strength of the container. Steel and aluminum crates are also used.

Plastic crates are commonly used for shipment of bottles.

Wooden crates

Boxes and crates are often confused with one another; mostly when they are made of wood. Contrary to a crate, the strength of a wooden box is rated based on the weight it can carry before the cap (top, ends, and sides) is installed.

History

The first documented writings in the US about shipping crates is in a 1930 handbook (Technical Bulletin No. 171) written by C. A. Plaskett for the US Department of Agriculture although his writing imply that crates were defined before that time. C. A. Plaskett was known for his extensive testing and defining of various components of transport packaging.

How do I get my puppy to like her crate?
Q. My girlfriend and I just got an 8 week old Maltipoo (part maltese part poodle). We've had her for 2 days, today is day 3, and I am concerned because she doesn't like her crate. Every time we put her in the crate she walks out, and then when we put her in, pet her, and close the door. Eventually she starts whining and crying. Especially at night when we are trying to sleep. We let her play and potty before bedtime so she won't eliminate at night and she'll be tired. We have read a lot of articles and books about this and ask tons of people. Ignore her is what they say, but she cries for a long before stopping. Then a sort break, then she cries again. Some of them said she shouldn't be taking this long to like her crate. I would just… [cont.]

What can I do to prevent my puppy from peeing in her crate?
Q. My 10 week old puppy is almost completely housebroken. She also sleeps all night in her crate, about 8 hours without waking up. I got her 2 weeks ago and had off of work. I put her in her crate (appropriate size) to take naps and would leave the room. She slept about 4 hours, woke for 2, slept 4 more. Ever since I started work again, and she is left alone for only 3 hours, she has been peeing in her crate. The neighbours say she cries almost the whole time. I don't understand, because she used to sleep fine and never went in the crate. It seems like she can't calm down after I have left and that is why she is peeing, from being upset. I wish I had the luxury of not working and my apartment is not puppy safe to leave her alone. Of course… [cont.]

A. Start potty training over...and remember the hold time of a 10 week old puppy is about 2.5 hours...so it needs to be let out sooner. It's easier for any animal to hold longer while asleep, but if it's mising you and fretting you're away it's gonna be on the shorter side of the hold time. hold time one hour = one month of life IE 2 month old pup has 2 hour hold, 4 onth old 4 hours...

A. wussy dog :-) anyway, i got my new puppy in september and crate trained her. Potty training is number 1, most dogs will not go potty in their crate as it is their home. Comfort is number 2. Believe it or not, bringing a dog into a large home can be overwhelming, the crate is a small little place to call their own. My puppy stays in her crate all day long while i'm at work, and sleeps in there at night. Were actually going to start weening her out at night, as she's not a wussy dog, and we actually have her for protective purposes. She won't be very helpful if she's in a crate and someone breaks in while were sleeping. As it is now, we leave the door open to the crate when were at home, and she generally naps in there, so believe it or not, [cont.]
