While bolting on auxiliaries to the motor today it was noted the milk crate it was sat on starting to bulge! It got me thinking about the 1001 uses for a milk crate.....  P.S. The crate in question has seen better days and has a few broken support beams

I wish they would hurry up and rate these things with a SWL. It would legitimise so many current uses of the things  I imagine thereafter no milk company would ever be able to hold onto them for very long...I used them for all my car parts through resto. They stack up pretty nicely. They were made perfect for the back of Aus Post bikes. |

I don't know what it is ....But they seem to breed and come from no where. I have five of them and have no idea from where they came. |

And some genius also made them exactly the same size as a 9kg gas cylinder so they sit perfectly in the boot

They work great for a ladder except when the shatter and the milk crate punctures your legs, they been banned on building sites for that reason. |

Wow, it's been such an amazing invention, I bet the milk companies hate the cost of replacing crates! |

In extreme and rare cases they can also be used for carrying milk, or so I'm told.

At the ballarat swapmeet a few years ago the police started booking people for having stolen milk crates. With a few minutes there were mountains of crates in each isle and some lucky bugger had sold out of those big clear storage boxes |
