A slatted crate protects the load without wrapping it in solid timber. The gaps between the boards let air move through, which suits produce, plants and anything that must not sweat, and they also let a driver or inspector see the contents without opening anything. The corner posts and pallet base carry the weight, so the crate can be lifted by forklift and stacked, while using far less timber than a closed box.
