Organize, carry, and store everyday gear with CrateMate’s Made in USA storage crates. Available in 16QT and 24QT sizes, these heavy-duty HDPE crates bring practical organization to grocery runs, vehicle cargo areas, garages, workshops, and camping trips.
Why Families and Workshops Choose CrateMate
CrateMate is an FLI Products brand of heavy-duty HDPE storage crates, Made in USA. Every 16QT and 24QT crate has molded handles, hex-grid sides that keep contents visible and ventilated, and a stackable design that fits neatly on shelves, in cargo areas, and in tight storage spaces. Practical products. Made to last.
Grocery Pickup and Bulk Shopping
CrateMate crates keep bagged groceries grouped and upright for the trip from your cargo area to the kitchen, and they give bulk purchases from warehouse clubs a stable, square home instead of loose bags rolling in the trunk. The 24QT crate suits larger loads, while the 16QT crate fits compact cargo areas.
Garage, Workshop, and Service Vehicles
Keep tools, parts, and project supplies visible and grouped by task. The open sides let you see what is inside without unpacking, and the stackable design turns a corner of a garage, shed, or service van into organized storage. Contractors can stage job-specific kits and move them from truck to jobsite in one carry.
RV, Camping, and Emergency Preparedness
CrateMate crates organize camp kitchen supplies, RV basements, and camping gear for quick loading and unloading. They also work for emergency preparedness bins: water jugs stay cradled upright inside the crate walls, and standard 20 lb propane cylinders can be kept upright and contained during transport.
Garden, Sports, and Everyday Family Gear
Carry garden harvests, sports equipment, and tournament gear in an easy-access container that wipes down and stacks away when not in use. Families use CrateMate crates for dorm move-in, trunk organization, and keeping seasonal gear corralled in the garage or closet.
