Dimensions are nominal manufacturer-published product dimensions, not shipping-carton measurements. The 16 L and 24 L labels identify the crate sizes; use the inside dimensions to check what will fit.
Which size should I choose?
- Regular 16 L: choose the square footprint for compact storage and separating smaller tools, cables or supplies.
- Larger 24 L: choose the longer rectangular footprint for items that need more internal length.
- Check your application: confirm rim and base compatibility before mixing these with existing crates. For records, sleeves or fitted inserts, compare their full dimensions with the inside measurements before ordering.
These open-grid crates provide ventilation rather than sealed containment. For enclosed storage, compare our plastic storage totes and bins. Use crates for storage and handling, not as seats or steps.
Ordering, wholesale and custom colours
Select the size and colour, then enter the number of individual crates required. Standard black and blue crates are sold each. Use the availability shown for your selected option and location.
Request a bulk milk-crate quote with your size, colour, quantity, delivery postal code and required date. For orders of 500 units or more, ask about additional colours and custom name or logo labelling. We will confirm the available options, minimum quantities and lead time in your quote.
Check pickup availability for the selected variant. For pallet quantities or larger shipments, request delivery pricing with your quote. For agricultural handling alternatives, browse agricultural totes, trays and lugs.
Reuse and recycling
Reuse sound crates and replace damaged ones. At end of life, check whether your local recycler accepts rigid HDPE crates; acceptance varies by facility.
