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.

What magnitude of force must the worker apply to move the crate at constant velocity?
Q. "A factory worker pushes a 28.5 crate a distance of 4.1 along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing downward at an angle of 28 below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and floor is 0.26." What magnitude of force must the worker apply to move the crate at constant velocity? How much work is done on the crate by this force when the crate is pushed a distance of 4.1 ? How much work is done on the crate by friction during this displacement?

A. the kinetic friction on the crate f = u mg (u is the coefficient of friction) = 0.26 x 28.5 x 9.8 = 71.8536 N (supposing that the mass of crate is 28.5 kg, it is not clear of course) a) now work done by pusing force W1 = f S = 71.8536 x 4.1 = 294.6 J b) work done by frictional force = work done by pushing force (due to constant veloty) = 294.6 J

What are your opinions on crate training?
Q. My dog is not crated, but he does not have any issues with chewing or going to the bathroom inside, so he has free roam. I just wanted to see what other dog owners' opinions are on the subject of crate training. No, I'm not planning on crating mine at all. I personally do not like the idea. Just wanted to see what other people in the community thought about it!

A. I wouldn't train a pup without it, but remember, it is supposed to be a temporary measure until you can trust your dog(s) to be at large in the house. IMO, it is not mean to be a life-long thing.

What size crate does my border collie need?
Q. I've finally decided to get a crate for my 9 month old Border collie. I'll be using it at home. What size does she need? She is 20" tall at the shoulder when standing, and 27" tall for total height when she is sitting. So what dimensions of a crate does she need, and will she be growing any more? Thanks a lot for any help.
