what about the bread crate can be used for parts storage on shelves ,under benches
used to work for a bakery ,we were buying 16,000 a year just to keep up with what went missing


I cleans up a 5 acre propety with thousands of them a few years ago the people used them for every thing from fencing to under plant pots they were everywhere

The bloke used to go to buttercup to get the stale bread everyweek for the animals he had so the daughter said

Marty, when the power unit crashes to the ground then weigh it?
Divide by 2 and this will give a SWL for a damaged crate, of course the same must be done on a good crate.

Great workshop chairs. They're modular, reasonably comfortable and don't puddle with water when it rains.

No one steals them either from your workshop.

Ha ha.... I might pass on that idea, I'd rather my motor stay pretty and be left wondering the crates load capacity! :D

Glad you have chosen the wise path grasshopper.
you wouldnt want to scratch that shiny starter
I was given a couple of the Coles type folding vegie crates this week and I like the folding capability as I can carry one in the boot

I would guesstimate at least 500kg going by what I have had on them..... amazing little things.

Seen a fellow in defence make it a near permanent fixture to his upper calf...nine nice puncture wounds and around 30 stitches...that said I have several here for seats, storage and great for keeping oil, tools and spares from rolling about in my car boot!

Hooroo
