We design and build custom wooden crates sized to your exact cargo dimensions, providing maximum structural protection for heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped freight during LTL, FTL, or air cargo transport.
Fragile machinery, electronics, artwork, and trade show displays require expert handling. Our specialty crating uses foam inserts, cushioning, and reinforced panels to prevent movement and absorb transit shock.
We professionally palletize, band, shrink-wrap, and secure your cargo to carrier-ready standards, minimizing damage claims and ensuring your freight meets LTL and FTL carrier requirements before it leaves our facility.
Shipping freight overseas demands ISPM-15 compliant heat-treated wood crating. We prepare internationally certified crates that meet customs requirements and protect cargo from the added stresses of sea and air freight.
Our team evaluates your item's dimensions, weight, fragility, and shipping mode to engineer a crating solution on the spot — no guesswork, no oversized waste, and no unnecessary added shipping weight.
