What Your Cargo Needs Is Not Off-the-Shelf
When you’re shipping oversized, fragile, high-value, or mission-critical cargo, one-size-fits-all simply doesn’t cut it. That’s why at Wood Shipping Crates, we engineer custom shipping crates to handle the extremes—because your cargo deserves protection that’s as specialized as it is.
Our custom solutions are designed with your specific requirements in mind, ensuring that every crate we deliver supports your operations, protects your cargo, and simplifies logistics from start to finish. Whether it’s extra-long, oddly shaped, heavily weighted, or requires built-in ramps, partitions, or shock control, we’ve built a crate for that—and if we haven’t, we will.
CAD-Engineered Crates: Why Design Comes First
Every crate we build starts with Computer-Assisted Design (CAD) technology. This isn’t just a design preference—it’s a quality guarantee. CAD allows us to custom-engineer each crate from the inside out based on precise measurements, weight distribution, handling needs, and transport conditions.
With CAD, we can simulate how your cargo will sit within the crate, identify pressure points, and configure the crate’s internal features for optimal support. We create custom interiors that hold your cargo securely in place, minimizing vibration, shock, and impact during handling and shipping.
And here’s the best part: our CAD services are included at no extra cost. You get the benefits of advanced engineering without the added expense.
Complex Needs, Simple Solutions
Custom doesn’t have to mean complicated. Our team simplifies the process by listening to your challenges and translating them into build-ready, engineered crate solutions. Whether you’re shipping fragile electronics, heavy industrial components, or irregularly shaped items, we’ll develop a crate that addresses every concern.
Some of our most requested features include:
- Foam linings to cushion sensitive components and electronics
- Custom-fit internal compartments that secure multiple items separately
- Calibrated weight systems for even distribution and safe handling
- Precision-cut supports for eliminating unwanted movement during transit
Every crate is built to match your shipping scenario—no guesswork, no retrofits, just purpose-built performance.
Hardware That Handles It All
We don’t just build boxes—we build systems. Our custom shipping crates are designed with transport efficiency and safety in mind. We integrate features that reduce labor, minimize handling time, and improve safety during loading, transport, and unloading.
Depending on your needs, we can equip your crate with:
- Forklift runners for easier lifting and secure placement
- Caster wheels for mobility within warehouses or event setups
- Built-in ramps to roll heavy equipment directly into the crate
- Heavy-duty fasteners, gussets, and hardware rated for military-grade applications
These features ensure that your crate performs as well in the warehouse as it does in transit.
Military-Grade & International-Ready Construction
When you’re shipping overseas or meeting strict logistics protocols, your crates must be built to the highest standards. We use ISPM-15 certified, heat-treated lumber, which complies with international shipping regulations and passes inspection at customs worldwide.
We also engineer crates to meet military specifications, including extra-ruggedized construction, reinforced corners, and shock-resistant features that protect sensitive items in even the most demanding environments. These crates are trusted for government, aerospace, defense, and heavy industrial applications.
Whether you’re air-dropping cargo or sending it halfway around the world, our crates are built to arrive intact.
Versatile Crating: Collapsible, Oversize, or On-Site
We understand that not every shipping challenge fits inside a warehouse. That’s why we offer adaptable crating solutions to meet your logistics needs where they are.
Our options include:
- Collapsible crates that can be stored flat and assembled on demand—ideal for return shipments or events
- On-site crating services for large, fragile, or sensitive equipment that can’t be transported before packaging
- Specialty crates for trade shows, air cargo, and high-sensitivity items that require extra interior protection or aesthetic design
And when deadlines are tight, our rush crating services ensure your shipment stays on track. We work nights, weekends, and on-location to meet your timeline without sacrificing quality.
