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.
