I'm looking for a hop-up, and what I have in mind (but not seen anywhere, so
maybe doesn't exist or in reality is not practical) is a set (2-4) of strong
but light weight "plastic" boxes, maybe with lids, that stack and clip
together somehow, and that can also be used to store tools, dustsheets etc
when in the car or garage. A pair of these hop-ups could be used with a
scaffold board or trestle for when working on ceilings. Not looking for
anything more than about 2-3ft high, just for domestic use.
Has anyone seen anything like this anywhere?
Thanks, David

I have some crates that are used by removers.  They are certainly
strong and big but do not have lids.  They have metal folding bars at
each end so that they can be stacked within each other or laid on top
of each other.

I use them for, guess what, dust sheets when in the garage but they
could be turned over I guess.

Let me know if you don't find anything and I'll take a photo of them
and get the company name.
