From Section 6 - Robot Transportation:

All Crates must:
Weigh 400 pounds or less in order to avoid drayage overage charges

Be sturdily built to prevent damage to your equipment

"Sit" on 2 pieces of 4" by 4" lumber, spaced at least 28" apart so it can be moved by a forklift.

Have a footprint no greater than 4’ by 4’ and be no taller than 5’10" (70") high. This maximum includes the 4" by 4" lumber mentioned above.
