Add a recessed handle in the center to "turn" (to unlock the crate lid) and lift the lid off with. Something roughly like this only more futuristic (and deeper so the inner piece looks like it could be reached under):

Oh, and did you ever want me to play around with your cargo container model?

You can if you want, I'm never going to print it though unless I get my own printer since online print sources wanted an arm and a leg. It would mostly be for you to use if you ever wanted to print one but I can send it either way if you PM your email address to me.

Oh, and on the inside of the lid (if details are achievable there) you could put the latching mechanism. Something roughly like this:

Hmm...I was deliberately keeping the innards of the containers simple, since the lids don't attach exactly how they would in real-life, and interior details would be generally hidden anyways, not to mention potentially interfere with the fit of the lids. A latch like this wouldn't interfere with the fit in this case, but it would kind of set a precedent I'm not sure I want to follow...I guess it could be a case-by-case basis. I'll contemplate it, but I'm definitely going to tackle the outer latch first before I try an inner one.

LOL, I'm just throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. Ignore me if I am getting too far afield!

No, it's cool! I appreciate any and all suggestions. If something's too pie-in-the-sky, I'll just say so, and then maybe try it anyways to see if I was right.

Alright, I changed up the lid, and added a handle similar to what was pictured. It's not identical--I didn't do the deep bevel on the outer lip--but it's in the ballpark. Luckily, both the bottom and top are recessed enough that the crate is still stackable no matter the orientation.
What do you think? Personally, I think it's a definite improvement. I can attempt the deep bevel on the outer lip if you think it'll look better.

Looks great. We need a source to buy these though.
