OUR CRATE CREATION PROCESS

A 6-step process that makes sure every crate is designed to be as protective as possible and also meets all the shipping regulations.

  • Assessment & Design

    We measure, weigh and look at your stuff to figure out the best possible crate layout.

  • Choosing the Right Materials

    Selecting from certified lumber, foam inserts and reinforcement materials that are certified for shipping.

  • Building the Crate

    Putting the crate together with a bit of precision - so we get the corners right, add extra bracing inside, and make sure it all fits.

  • Getting Your Cargo Ready

    Carefully putting your cargo into the crate, using blocking, padding and fasteners to keep it all in place.

  • Sealing & Labelling

    Wrapping it all up with some shrink wrap, weatherproofing it and putting on the correct labels - weight and all that stuff.

  • Ship It With Peace of Mind

    Your cargo is now ready to go - wherever it needs to go, via whatever means is needed.
