We can address most any international crating need you may have. In strict adherence to international shipping standards, all of our materials are ISPM-15 certified for export out of the U.S. and import into any country in the U.S. For ocean shipments, we take great care to eliminate the effects of moisture on sensitive cargo through heat shrink wrapping, application of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI), or application of a vacuum sealed barrier bag.

If the size or sensitivity of your project requires work to be performed at your site, our team can perform your custom packaging, crating, and freight loading at your location. In most cases we will pre-build and transport disassembled crates to your location for the loading, packing, and crating of freight. Your time is important, so our on-site projects will be coordinated and planned with your team in advance to ensure our time at your facility provides minimal disruption to your operations.

Crate Pros can support any specialty packaging requirement you may have from cushioning to moisture protection to a particular specification like MIL-Spec. Our cushioning capabilities include various foams like polystyrene and polyethylene. For moisture protection, we heat shrink, vapor corrosion inhibitor films/bags, vacuum sealed barrier bags, and dessicants based on your need or packaging specification. For electronics we recommend anti-static cushioning and films, and we can customize any of these materials based on your specific need.
For full container load (FCL) ocean export shipments, we can load and secure your shipping container. As a part of our process we create a load plan, block and brace all loaded cargo, seal the container, and provide you needed documentation on the weight of the cargo for successfully shipping the container to its destination.
In some large industrial crating projects like factory moves there is a need for rigging expertise to disassemble, hoist, move, and or lift large pieces of machinery. Together with our rigging partners we can work with you to develop a plan that supports your timeline and logistics needs.
