Standard broiler crates at 600×400×280mm are the most common size in US commercial live haul operations. They handle 4–6 lb birds at 6–10 per crate with adequate airflow for all-season transport. Heavy broiler configurations add wall area and reduce birds per crate to maintain welfare specifications under the greater per-bird weight.
