The What and Why of Custom Crating Solutions
Custom crating is the process of designing and manufacturing shipping crates to satisfy specific requirements. Unlike regular crates, custom crates are precisely designed to meet the specific dimensions, weight, and fragility of the things they are intended to protect. This personalized method ensures that each container provides the best protection and security for the items it holds.
Custom crating is especially useful for transporting delicate or expensive products. The crates are strong and sturdy, commonly constructed of heavy-duty wood, and can be customized with features such as lids or hinged tops for convenient access. This makes them an excellent choice for industries that require strict requirements for keeping and transporting goods.
Pilot Metals crates adhere to the NELMA crating certification, ensuring that wood packaging materials used for export shipments are heat-treated or fumigated to prevent the spread of plant and animal pests and diseases.
Types of Crating Solutions
Custom crating solutions can be beneficial for transporting many different types of products, materials, equipment, and more. Here are some common use cases of custom crating solutions:
Manufacturing & Heavy Equipment
Industrial gear and equipment require strong protection during transit. Custom crates can handle the weight, size, and delicate components of heavy equipment, assuring safe delivery to project sites or warehouses.
Electronics & Technology
Electronics are extremely sensitive to shock, vibration, and environmental changes. Custom crating solutions offer enough cushioning and climate control features to safeguard servers, medical devices, and laboratory equipment.
Art & Antiques
Fine art, sculpture, and antiques frequently have irregular shapes and are extremely delicate. Custom boxes are designed to fit the item's dimensions, providing optimal protection during shipment or storage.
Aerospace & Defense
The aerospace and defense sectors rely on specialized crating to carry vital components such as airplane parts and sensitive instrumentation. These boxes fulfill strict safety and compliance standards.
eCommerce & Logistics
Custom crating solutions provide peace of mind to businesses delivering high-value or fragile items by lowering the chance of damage and increasing customer satisfaction.
