I use cnep crates for the same purpose. These are the fairly heavy,
open top, fold down side, things that are showing up in produce
channels now. I find them most useful for potatoes; I just pick
potatoes into them, hose them off, and store them. Last year, I made
the mistake of hauling them out of the fields stacked about 6 high full
of potatoes. The bottom few crates collapsed, spilling potatoes all
over the road. They can be filled and stacked 8 or 10 high, but they
won't travel while stacked that high.
