Abstract (en)
A plastic crate (1) comprises a bottom part (4) from which side walls (2, 3) and substantially hollow support columns (6, 11, 12) extend. At least some of the support columns (6) are provided with reinforcing undulations (8) extending substantially along the height of the columns. This allows relatively thin support columns to have a great structural strength. The support columns (6) may be located at or near a corner (7) of the crate and the undulations (8) may face the interior of the crate. The crate may further be provided with dividers (13) for creating bottle compartments.
