apart from the front transverse member 32 a pair of elongate interior ramp members or rails 36 connect between the upper surface of the upper transverse end member 28 and the rear transverse member 34 as best shown in side detail view in fig2 this disposes the interior ramp members 36 at an oblique angle relative to a plane defined by the lower surfaces of the lower transverse end members 26 the front transverse member 32 and the rear transverse member 34 the interior ramp members 36 have first ends 38 connected to the lower transverse end member 26 and opposing second ends 40 connected to the rear transverse member 34 the first ends 38 are thereby spaced vertically higher than the opposing second ends 40 for a purpose discussed below with continuing reference to fig1 chock members 42 connect between the lower transverse end member 26 and the front transverse member 32 the chock members 42 are disposed intermediate the respective interior ramp member 36 and the interior longitudinal member 22 each chock member 42 and the adjacent interior ramp member 36 define a receiving space generally 44 for receiving a front wheel of the riding lawn mower 19 when seated on the pallet 12 the spacing depends upon the width of the front wheel of the riding lawn mower to be contained within the crate 10 the interior ramp members 36 are spaced from the outside members 20 to align with the rear wheels of the riding lawn mower a rear wheel chock member 46 extends between the outside members 20 and.
