Practical storage for everyday gear

CrateMate keeps tools, supplies, and everyday gear organized in garages, workshops, vehicles, and RVs. Its open design keeps contents visible and accessible, while molded handles make it easy to move gear between storage and your next task.

Choose the compact 16QT for tighter storage spaces or the larger 24QT when you need more room. Both sizes feature heavy-duty HDPE construction, a stackable design, and are made in the USA.

Start with a single crate for one storage spot, or choose a 3-pack to organize several areas. Secure crates and their contents appropriately during vehicle transport.
