Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rubbermaid 3N83 Collapsible Cargo Crate
Customer Review: Faulty plastic hinge pin design
Summary: 1 Stars
I found out the hard way that a modest load (c. 15 lb av) could cause the swing-down crate floor to skip out of the resting tabs protruding from the side walls. The load then proceeded to dislodge the both hinge pins (red plastic, apparently polypropylene), and the corresponding tumult in the hotel elevator then caused one of the pins to do a "needle in a haystack" routine. Unless I wanted to replace the pins with, say, quarter-20 316 stainless steel alloy bolt shafts (and create lifetime pins that would NEVER dislodge), therefore the crate was beyond repair. I am going to try a couple of other brands (e. g., dBest) before I visit McMaster-Carr Supply Company to get the necessary hardware to modify the Rubbermaid unit into a working device.
