A crate is a rigid, usually wood-built shipping enclosure made to protect an item during handling and transportation. Unlike simple wrapping or a pallet base, a crate can include a base, side panels, framing, blocking, bracing, and a top. Custom crates are commonly used for machinery, equipment, fragile components, and oversized freight that need protection from movement, impact, or stacking forces.
