Of course, it’s important not only to consider the weight of the goods to be transported within the individual timber case or crate, but also how many of these cases can be stacked on top of each other and the weight implications of this. For example, if each timber case is required to hold goods to the weight of 1 tonne and the cases can be stacked 4 high, then in reality each case will need to be able to withstand a total weight of 4 tonnes.
