Massachusetts manufacturers need reliable industrial crating services to protect machinery, equipment, and commercial shipments during transportation. Whether shipping a single machine across the country or relocating an entire production facility, professionally designed wooden crates help reduce the risk of damage, shipping delays, and costly disruptions.
At Crate This, we provide custom crating and packaging services for manufacturers throughout Massachusetts. Based in Holbrook, our team works with industrial businesses to develop packaging solutions for domestic and international shipments.
Manufacturing equipment presents unique shipping challenges. Heavy machinery, sensitive electronics, and oversized components often require more than standard pallets or generic packaging.
Our team designs custom wooden crates for heavy machinery based on the equipment’s dimensions, weight, handling requirements, and shipping destination.
Depending on the shipment, our packaging solutions may include:
Custom wooden crates: Designed around the equipment’s dimensions and transportation requirements.
Vapor barrier protection: Helps protect machinery from moisture exposure during shipping.
Foam padding and protective wrapping: Provides additional protection for sensitive components.
Heat shrink wrapping: Helps protect equipment from environmental exposure.
Each solution is selected according to the equipment being shipped rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Transporting unprotected manufacturing equipment to a packaging facility isn’t always practical.
Crate This offers on-site crating and packaging services throughout Massachusetts and New England. Our team can bring the necessary materials and equipment directly to your manufacturing facility.
This is especially valuable for businesses handling oversized machinery, complicated shipping schedules, or equipment that requires protection before transportation.
For suitable projects, we can also arrange pickup and transport equipment to our Holbrook facility for crating.
Manufacturers shipping equipment overseas face additional packaging considerations, including extended transit times, moisture exposure, and international wood packaging requirements.
Crate This has experience preparing machinery for ocean, air, and over-the-road transportation. Our team works with industrial clients to develop packaging solutions appropriate for their shipping requirements.
We also assist with out-of-gauge cargo and industrial plant relocations, helping businesses prepare equipment for transportation between facilities.
Choosing a crating provider involves more than purchasing a wooden box. Manufacturers need a partner who understands equipment handling, shipping requirements, and operational deadlines.
Our experience working with industrial facilities allows us to support projects ranging from individual equipment shipments to large-scale machinery relocations.
We also offer expedited services by appointment, commercial storage, and recurring custom crate solutions for businesses managing ongoing shipments.
