The standard English term for a wooden crate is "wooden case."
Wooden crates can be classified according to their structure as follows:
1. Wooden Case: A rectangular packaging container made of wood, bamboo, or a wood-based composite material.
2. Common Wooden Case: A wooden case constructed from planks, battens, etc. The weight of the contents of a common wooden case is limited to 200 kg or less. It consists of sides, ends, a bottom, and a lid. The ends are attached to the sides first, and then the bottom and lid are attached to the sides and ends.
3. Skid Case: A wooden case with a skid-like chassis, and the sides and ends are made of planks and battens. Skid cases are medium-sized wooden cases, with the weight of the contents limited to 200-1500 kg. The sum of the length, width, and height is limited to 7 meters, and the width and height are limited to 1.5 meters or less. They are mainly used for packaging machinery products and can also be used for containerizing small items. Ordinary wooden crates primarily rely on their end faces and sides for support, while skid crates are mainly based on their base, allowing them to withstand greater loads than ordinary crates. Therefore, they are suitable as outer packaging for medium-sized products. Skid crates (Type B crates) consist of a base, sides, end faces, and a top cover. The sides and end faces are first attached to the base, and then the top cover is attached to the sides and end faces.
