Crate shopping is more complicated than I expected

I've been tasked with ordering new storage crates for our warehouse in Ajman, and honestly I didn't think it would be this complicated. I figured I'd just find a supplier, pick a size, and place an order, but now I'm realizing there are so many variables material type, weight capacity, stackability, whether we want lids or open-top, custom sizing, delivery timelines. I've been going back and forth with a few different suppliers and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed with options. A colleague suggested I learn more about reliable crate options for companies that have been vetted by other local businesses, rather than just guessing based on online descriptions. I've found a few local suppliers that seem promising based on what I've read, but I'd rather hear from actual people who have bought crates in Ajman recently. What material have you found holds up best for heavy industrial use? Are there any suppliers you've worked with that actually delivered what they promised? And what questions should I be asking that I probably haven't thought of? I'd really appreciate any advice before I make a decision I might regret.
