About

Introduction
The PATENT PENDING Crate Basket™ is an integrated bottle holding system for handheld and cart wheeled shopping baskets.  Its primary function is to secure beverage bottles (Example: wine, soda, seltzer, spirits) in an upright position preventing them from sliding/rolling while leaving more space in shopping basket for additional items.  

How It Works
The Crate Basket™ uses beverage crate functionality in the floor of shopping basket to secure bottles in an upright position.  The crate holding system is built into the plastic injection basket mold so the Crate Basket™ is one complete structure (crate bottom, basket walls) versus an  add on external mechanism.  To accommodate different sized bottles or number of bottles per cart the Crate Basket™ comes in multiple configurations for different retail applications.  For example a Crate Basket™ in a wine store may have six integrated bottle holders whereas a traditional grocery store has two in order to include non beverage items.
