ABSTRACT:
A rectangular or square stackable plastic carrier, more particularly a plastic crate, comprises a support bottom part 1 formed of a bottom 2 with an upright edge 3 at its periphery.
Corner columns 4 are able to fit at their top end and bottom end respectively, into the bottom and top side of a carrier disposed thereon and therebeneath.
The length H of the corner columns is a multiple of the height h of the bottom part 1.
The external distance L.sub.1 between two opposite set-back sides 5 of the bottom part 1 is substantially equal to or less than the internal distance L.sub.2 between two corner columns measured between the same opposite set-back sides 5, said set-back sides being provided with a handle 6. The set-back part 5 corresponds to the transverse dimension of a corner column. In the space between two corner columns 4 and the set-back part 5 free ends of corner columns of a carrier being therebeneath in a staggered relationship, may be received.
The short side of the carrier or crate is preferably at least (the multiple/2+1) times the column width B and the long side is preferably at least equal to the width of the crate+(the multiple/2-1) times the column width B.
The construction of the carriers allows an easy stacking or nesting of carriers in a staggered position.
