crates
Sturdy shipping containers
Crates are sturdy containers, typically wooden or plastic, used for storing or transporting goods: a crate of oranges, milk crates.
To crate something is to pack it in a crate: We crated the furniture for shipping.
A crate can also be slang for an old, beat-up car or airplane.
