Plastic crate

[Adobo]

Does anyone know where in the mainland US to get those plastic crates that the Zero G guys use in Mexico?

Mod note: I had no idea what the best place was to put this inquiry. Please move as appropriate.

If you (somehow) manage to find them (or decide to import some
I + buddies will take at least 3-5
Those things are way cool but all I can find here are ones that seem too flimsy and too short to hold fins.

Any pictures of these crates?

In Manila they have these big crates.... about the size of 2 US milk crates put together than come inside a big duffle... Perfect gear carrier....

I don't know what crates they use in Mexico, but I sometimes see big crates at auto supply places.

They are crates used in the agricultural business - fruits and vegetables.

Can't seem to find that specific model, but here's something:
LK Goodwin Co. - Material Handling Equipment

Yeah - that's the one. Anyone have a supplier?

Nope, can't seem to find a US supplier...yet.

Here are other alternates:

Though, searching on Yahoo! I found this page that lists a lot of suppliers:

out of curiosity, what is the draw of these crates? It seems like water would leak all over your car....

they do look sturdy though

take a look at Uline, you may not be able to find just what you're looking for, but they might have something that works.

They are excellent crates for hauling your gear to/from dive sites if you're using a truck or other vehicle that water/sand isn't an issue. They are very sturdy and can take being sat on without collapsing and hold all your gear nicely for donning. I use them in Mexico obviously at the remote dive sites....throw out my rattan mat, don wetsuit, etc, and then turn over the crate to sit on to put on my rockboots.

Nifty crates.
