Your sensitive electronic equipment requires custom packaging design and construction to ensure it arrives safely at its destination.

Crate Pros provides packing, crating, and shipping specialized for medical equipment. Because these instruments and machines contain sensitive lasers, gauges, and lenses, they require special handling. From MRI machines to CT Scanners, lab equipment, and delicate lasers, we have the expertise to ensure your equipment arrives safely at its destination. Learn More about our Medical Equipment Crating.
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. Learn More about our Export Crating.
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. Learn More about our On-Site Packing & Crating.
Whether you are a prime contractor or a government agency, Crate Pros is a partner who can meet your specialty needs and rigid timelines. From MIL-SPEC crating to ISPM-15 certified materials for international export, we are the packaging specialist of choice for government contracts. Learn More about our Government Contracting.
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.
Crate Pros understands the demands of the enterprise IT professional and the importance of your infrastructure in your organization’s daily operations. Whether you are consolidating data centers or exchanging hardware that is coming off lease, we have the expertise and experience to handle the logistics involved from your dock or data center all the way through delivery at the destination.
Whether we are supporting your production line by delivering crates needed to ship your products, or we are picking-up time critical freight that you need us to pack and ship same day, we are here to support you and your operations as a trusted Nashville area logistics provider.
Sarah Nichols2022-12-04My furniture arrived yesterday in perfect condition and was carefully unpacked by two nice men and placed in my home. Working with Crate Pros has been the best moving/shipping experience of my life. I cannot adequately express what a joy it is to find oneself in such safe hands. Tim, you have been wonderful to work with and you even found an ideal partner here in LA to make the final delivery. Moving old family “treasures” across the country can be a daunting experience, but you made me feel as if I were relying on a trusted friend. Thank you!
Claude Monast2022-09-30Excellent service and their crates are built to perfection. Great communication and follow up. Highly recommend.
Amy Tyndell2022-08-20They have shipped my last three pieces of art. The customer service is incredible. All my clients have complimented the timely manner and condition that they arrive in. I will definitely use them again.
Brenda Gonzalez2022-08-09Crate Pros was absolutely fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend using them for your packaging & shipping needs! Our business (RMG Trading) ships commercial restaurant equipment all over the country, we have used multiple crating companies throughout the years & Crate Pros has been one of my favorites!! From the moment I called to get a quote for the cost to have them pick up the item, prep it & ship it to the time it arrived at my shop, Tim & Ben were more than helpful. They picked up my item the day after my initial call & had it ready to ship the following the day. They went above & beyond with how well it was prepped for freight shipment. I could not have been any happier & I look forward to working with them again in the future. For anyone looking to have items prepped or shipped- Crate Pros is who I would recommend!!
Sara Weedman White2022-04-21Luis and Deonte were prompt, courteous and so professional! Not only were they easy to work with, they delivered quickly and were very affordable. I highly recommend CratePros for your crating needs!

Teddy Deserve2022-03-02Unbelievable shipping experience. You don’t come across professionalism like crate pros these days. They actually care about your parcel. Highly recommend them!!
Jonathan Gluck2021-12-06Very pleased with my experience. I was able to get a quote for crating a chandelier by sending over measurements and photos. The day of the crating, two gentlemen came on time and completed the process in ~30 minutes. They were polite and took great care of our special item!
Sigma Engineering2021-11-05Crate Pros is a great company to work with. We had a trade show in Nashville and our machine showed up with a destroyed skid. Not only did they respond after normal business hours, they built and delivered a new skid with everything we needed in less than 2 and a half days. Their responsiveness helped us divert a major disaster.
Mike Flanders2021-07-11Tim @ Crate Pros was more than a dream to work with.He went way beyond to help us with our move. Our 20 foot container got safely from TN to Australia with all our very expensive music equipment & instruments undamaged.I would highly recommend working with these folks.Mike Flanders
