Back to the original subject,
We usually have damage similar to that described in the beginning of this thread to our crate.

Last year, the feet got knocked off at each destination and the lock got smashed twice. After the second smashing, we left the broken lock on and remove the hinge when we open the crate.

We just assume that the crate is going to take some abuse and hope that the robot inside survives.

By the way, it's always good practice to check all screws after shipping. With the kinds of vibration that you experience in a truck for many hours, they have a tendency to back out. This has been normal behavior for the last couple of years.

We used to loctite all fasteners. We now rivet everything.
