Can't remember where the original post on the BBS was for this, and it's not actually an artisan-only thing, so posting here.
After further consideration, we went too far in the opposite direction when we limited the weight of the crates in the forges from 3000 lbs to 400 lbs. This means they actually held less than a typical workcart. Combined with the fact that it's actually "SOME large crateS" indicating that there are more than one, I went ahead and bumped the weight up significantly. While still lower than the original 3000 pounds, you should be pleasantly surprised at how much they can hold now.
Note that if you do let your rent expire, retrieving items collected in the room is based off of their weight, so it can be rather costly. There may be a change to this system in the future, but for now I'd suggest being cautious about letting your workroom expire while you're actively using it. You can pay in advance for 14 days, which should be plenty.
