A crate for agricultural products can include a base, a side wall, and a hinge mechanism pivotably connecting the side wall with the base such that the side wall is movable between a folded configuration and an erected configuration relative to the base. The hinge mechanism can include a hinge extending from the side wall. The hinge can include a rod. The hinge can further include a hinge receiver defined by the base. The hinge receiver may define a receiving area with an opening. The opening may be at a top end of the hinge receiver. The opening may define a minimum width of the receiving area. The rod of the hinge can be positionable into the receiving area via the opening.
