Since a 4x4 is really 3.25 inches I would make sure you have 3.25 inches of clearance at all points under the base of your crate except where the 4x4 touches floor. If you want to add a 2x4 to support robot under floor of crate and would also add a 2x4 to the 4x4. Take it from some one has driven a forklift for about 30 years. You want as much clearance under crate as possible.
