Abstract
The invention relates to a transport container system which is especially suitable for transporting goods such as fruit and vegetables. Said system comprises a stackable crate that can be folded or not, and has a bottom part and four lateral wall parts that are structured in a pressure-resistant manner, and a top part for enlarging the volume of the transport container. Said top part is formed in such a way that it is complementary to the crate opening formed by the lateral wall parts of the crate, and can be placed on the upper side of said lateral wall parts. Said crate and said top part of the transport container system can be detachably engaged in such a way that the transport container system can be stacked.

Transport container system, comprising
- a non-foldable or foldable crate,
- the crate comprising a rectangular bottom and four rigid lateral wall adjoining the bottom and defining a rectangular opening in a plane parallel to the bottom,
- a unitary top for augmenting height of the lateral walls of the crate and thereby providing a transport container of a increased volumetric capacity,
- the top being constituted of a natural material and comprising four rigid lateral walls of sufficient strength to permit transport container stacking and defining a rectangular opening conforming to the rectangular opening of the crate, and
- fasteners for attaching the top when unfolded, to the crate at the opening thereof so that the lateral walls of the top augment height of the lateral walls of the crate.
Top for a transport container system comprising a non-foldable or foldable crate which has a rectangular bottom and four rigid lateral walls adjoining the bottom and defining a rectangular opening in a plane parallel to the opening, the top comprising
- four rigid lateral walls connected in the configuration of a rectangular frame of sufficient strength to permit transport container stacking and defining an opening matching the opening of the crate, whereby the top is configured for augmenting height of the crate thereby to increase volumetric capacity of the container system,
- the top having a respective fold line at each corner thereof and being foldable along the fold lines into a compact configuration when not in use.
