  • Patent number: 6270007
    Abstract: A stackable crate for transporting potted plants and the like includes opposing trays spaced apart by support structures. The trays form a top and bottom for the stackable crate. Each of the trays have side walls and end walls. The side walls are orthogonal to the end walls to thereby define four corners for the opposing trays. Each of the support structures has a plurality of upstanding panels which define interior and exterior walls for the stackable crate. Two of the upstanding panels are parallel and joined at their ends by one other upstanding panel of the plurality of upstanding panels so to form corners for the support structures. At least one of the corners so formed is an exterior corner for the stackable crate. The support structures are configured relative to the opposing trays such that each of the exterior corners are in substantial abutting alignment with each of the corners of the opposing trays to thereby form substantially closed ends and partially open sides for the stackable crate.
