Crating Consolidation
You may have goods, freight, or even equipment for your facilities that are in multiple locations. If you need to coordinate their packing and transportation so that they all arrive at a certain location at appropriate times, we will consolidate the shipments to cut down on costs and make the process more efficient.
Custom Equipment Crating & Skidding
Different materials or objects, such as larger components of an assembly line, or highly sensitive machinery will need customized crating for protection during transport. The dimensions are important, but there may be other factors such as insulation, shock or impact indicators, foam packaging for additional protection, jigs, fixtures, supports, and proper crating for loading that only experts can arrange for safe transportation.
