Commercial Crating

With commercial crating, you can efficiently relocate your facility, safely ship heavy equipment, and make timely deliveries of fragile technology or sensitive items. Industrial equipment can be difficult and costly to ship, but with crating, air, land, and sea transportation preparation can be reduced to almost a cinch. The proper preparation can be made to protect your components.

Custom Crating

Some items and equipment require specialized packaging. In these cases, crates are designed and built according to a customer’s exact specifications. A crate can be made to fit the dimensions of an item while remaining compliant with shipping regulations and pricing considerations.

Vacuum Wrapping and Shrink Wrapping Packages

In a lot of instances, equipment is vacuum wrapped or shrink wrapped in addition to crating. Vacuum wrapping and shrink wrapping both use clear and flexible materials that conform to the shape of the item being packaged. They both use heat sealing to enclose the product and can be used to package numerous products. Overall, they are an added layer of protection against harmful elements.

Crating FAQ’s

What is custom crating and how does it differ from standard crating?

Custom crating is a way of packaging that’s done to meet exact specifications. With custom crating, we can match the dimension specifications required to safely pack and ship your equipment. So, custom crating differs from standard crating because custom crates ensure that the crate itself meets the specific needs of any object being shipped.

Can you handle the crating of large-scale industrial equipment?

Our team is fully trained and equipped to handle the crating of any large-scale industrial equipment. Our team is capable of constructing crates that can withstand and support large-scale equipment. We also have the necessary equipment, such as forklifts and cranes, to efficiently handle substantial loads. 

Do you offer international crating services compliant with ISPM-15?

Yes, we do offer international crating services compliant with ISPM-15. Our team specializes in creating custom crates even on the global spectrum. We can ensure that a ISPM-15 label is applied to your shipment.

How do you crate sensitive equipment like medical devices or electronics?

To protect sensitive equipment such as medical devices and electronics, we use custom crating. Additionally, our team can provide heat shrinking wrapping as added protection. In this way, sensitive objects will be safeguarded from harmful elements and preserved as is. Our crates can, also, be cushioned and insulated with foam padding.

Do you offer after-service support in case there are issues or concerns post-crating?

We do offer after-service support. Throughout the project, we will engage in open communication with you to ensure not only your satisfaction but the proper handling of your equipment. Our team works diligently and adheres to strict procedure to make sure that there aren’t any issues post-crating.
