Workers will pad, protect, and strap down all of your belongings and take them to our shop for high-quality packing and crating. If you live outside our service area, we are more than happy to arrange for one of our reputable logistics partners to pick up your items.
SECURE CUSTOM CRATING
You can rest assured that your cargo will be protected throughout the whole journey. We use only the highest quality construction lumber and panels for our crates. Our standard industrial packing product consists of a substantial forklift-able platform with weight equal to the equipment or machine we are crating, as well as plywood or OSB panels with external frames measuring 1×4 or 2×4. Additionally, we supply fasteners, internal blocking, packaging, padding, anti-humidity barriers, and drying agents that are appropriate for the size, weight, and fragility of your items.
