What Makes Our Crates Stand Out

  • Fully Custom Designs
    We can work from your existing design or engineer a completely new solution tailored to your product and shipping requirements.

  • Built for International Shipping
    All crates are ISPM-15 certified using heat-treated lumber, ensuring compliance with international regulations and customs standards.

  • Heavy-Duty Construction with Smart Features
    Options include ramps, hinged doors, caster wheels, saddles, cradles, and integrated foam padding to protect high-value equipment in transit.

    Each crate is designed for forklift compatibility, with proper bracing, blocking, and skids for safe movement and stacking.
