Logistics crate module and method of transporting goods

A way of transporting non-self supporting goods to the place of commerce is provided with minimal staff involvement in setting the goods up for display. Herein is presented a crate module (100) which includes a quadrilateral tray portion (150) with a load carrying side (151) and an opposing side (152). The tray portion (150) is delimited by four successively connected peripheral edges and has form fitting elements (153, 154). The crate module (100) also includes four side panels (110, 120, 130, 140) each of which have a proximal end, from which the side panel is pivotably connected to a respective peripheral edge, and a distal end having a counterpart form fitting element (112, 132, 142) which is configured to cooperate with a corresponding form fitting element (153, 154) of the tray portion of a similar logistics crate in a superposed configuration. At least one of the side panels (110) is pivotably connected to the respective peripheral edge on said opposing side (152) of the tray portion (150). Thus at least one respective form fitting element (153) of the tray por tion (150) is provided to the load carrying side (151) such that at least one lateral side of a resulting logistics crate is formed by another such-like logistics crate module superposed on the logistics crate module. 130b 140b 100b 110b 152b NO120b 130a 152 153a 120a 100a FIG. 2
