Built Around the Load

Four things we do, and what each one needs from you before we can quote it.

Custom Wooden Crates

Wooden shipping crates, built one at a time to the dimensions of the item going inside. Machinery, equipment and other valuable products that have to survive a truck, a warehouse and everything in between.

Every crate is built around the customer's own dimensions and shipping requirements, so nothing is pulled off a shelf of standard sizes. That is the part that matters when a load is heavy, tall or an awkward shape.

To quote a crate we need

  • Length, width and height of the item
  • Rough weight
  • Where it is shipping to
  • Whether it will be forklifted, craned or hand loaded

Custom Pallets and Skids

Pallets and skids cut and assembled around the load rather than pulled from a stack of standard sizes. The deck, the stringers and the runners are sized for the weight of the item and for the way it will be lifted and stacked.

A crate is only as good as what it sits on, so most crate jobs leave here on a skid built for the same load.

Common reasons customers ask for one

  • The item is heavier than a standard pallet is rated for
  • The footprint does not fit a stock size
  • The load has to sit on a specific set of runners to be moved

Onsite Shrink Wrap

Industrial shrink wrap gives a secure, weather resistant barrier that protects equipment and products from dust, moisture, dirt and damage during storage or transportation. It pulls in tight around items of all sizes.

We bring it to you. If a machine has to sit outside, or go out on a flatbed, the wrap goes on where the item already is.

What it keeps out

  • Dust and dirt
  • Moisture and weather
  • Knocks and scuffs in transit

Pickup and Delivery

We collect the item that needs packing and bring it back crated. Pickup and delivery run across Seattle, Tacoma, Everett and the cities around them, within our Monday to Friday hours.

If you would rather bring the item to us, that works too. Call and we will sort out which way round makes more sense for the job.

Before we come out

  • Tell us where the item is and how we get to it
  • Tell us its rough weight and footprint
  • Let us know if a forklift is available on site
