A collapsible crate comprising:
- a base having opposed side edges and opposed end edges, wherein the side edges are longer than the end edges;
- a pair of opposed side walls pivotably connected to the side edges of the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base, each of the pair of opposed side walls including a handle opening therethrough;
- and
- a pair of opposed end walls pivotably connected to the end edges of the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base.
In combination:
- a first crate including a base having opposed side edges and opposed end edges, wherein the side edges are longer than the end edges, the first crate including a pair of opposed side walls pivotably connected to the side edges of the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base, each of the pair of opposed side walls including a handle opening therethrough, the first crate including a pair of opposed end walls pivotably connected to the end edges of the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base;
- and
- a second crate having a base have opposed long edges and opposed short edges, the second crate including a pair of opposed long walls pivotably connected to the long edges and a pair of opposed short walls pivotably connected to the short edges, each of the pair of opposed short walls including a handle opening therethrough, wherein the opposed side edges of the first crate are approximately the same length as the opposed short edges of the second crate and wherein the opposed long edges of the second crate are approximately twice the length of the end edges of the first crate.
