ENGINEERED FOR
WHAT OTHERS REFUSE
We take on the machines that shipping companies flag as oversized, overweight, or too fragile. That's our specialty.
Heavy-Lift Crating
Engineered timber frames with steel cross-bracing for presses, compressors, and industrial machinery that standard packaging can't touch.
Emergency Response
Production line down? We mobilize a field engineering team within 24 hours and have your machine crated and staged for pickup in 48.
Precision Foam Blocking
Closed-cell polyethylene foam cut to exact machine contours. No movement. No vibration transfer. No damage claims.
Shock & Tilt Monitoring
Optional impact recorders and tilt indicators on every crate. Know exactly what happened to your machine from dock to destination.
No Off-the-Shelf
Every crate is drawn from scratch against your machine's actual dimensions, weight distribution, and shipping route.
International Compliance
ISPM-15 heat-treated lumber, phytosanitary certificates, and export packaging documentation for customs clearance on any continent.
WE KNOW YOUR
MACHINE CATEGORY
Industry-specific packaging specs built from thousands of shipments. Not generic crating. Engineered for your exact equipment class.
CNC & Machine Tools
Horizontal boring mills, 5-axis machining centers, large lathes. We've crated machines that cost more than most commercial real estate — and they arrive in spec.
NOTHING LEFT
TO CHANCE
Four steps. Every step documented. Every decision traceable back to an engineering calculation.
Machine Assessment
We receive your machine drawings, dimensions, weight distribution data, and shipping route. No guessing. Our engineers run a load analysis before a single board is cut.
Dimensional survey · Weight CG analysis · Route hazard review
Crate Engineering
Full CAD drawings of the crate structure, foam block layout, and internal bracing. You review and sign off before fabrication begins.
AutoCAD structural drawings · Foam cut files · Load path verification
Precision Fabrication
ISPM-15 heat-treated lumber, structural-grade hardware, CNC-cut foam. Every component cut to spec. Every bolt torqued to engineered load values.
ISPM-15 lumber · Structural hardware · CNC foam cutting
Load & Seal
Machine is rigged into the crate using engineered lift points. Foam blocks seated, internal bracing installed, lid closed, banded, and marked with shipping data.
Rigging supervision · Impact recorder install · Final inspection
Transatlantic MRI Shipment
A medical device OEM needed to ship a 14,500 lb superconducting MRI magnet from their Wisconsin facility to a hospital installation in Rotterdam. Transit time: 18 days, two ocean legs, three port transfers. Our engineering team specified a three-stage vibration isolation system, argon-purged inner enclosure, and real-time shock monitoring. The unit arrived within 0.003° of specified alignment.
