Wooden crates for safe shipping and storage
We make wooden crates to your product's dimensions and weight — from small boxes for parts to large export crates for machinery. Closed or slatted, from solid boards or plywood, with internal bracing and ISPM 15 heat treatment when the cargo travels outside the EU.
A good crate is designed around the product: wall thickness, fastening and treatment depend on what is inside and where it is going.
Protection from impact and moisture
Wall thickness, internal bracing and cushioning inserts are chosen to suit the cargo's fragility, weight and journey time.
Sized to the product
Internal dimensions, clearances and lid type — from your drawing or the product dimensions you send us.
Closed or slatted
Closed crates keep out dust and moisture; slatted crates are lighter, cheaper and let the cargo be inspected without removing a wall.
The crate constructions we make most often
| Type | Best for | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Closed board crates | Mechanical parts, equipment, spare parts | Continuous walls, a sturdy frame and a pallet-style base for forklift handling. |
| Plywood boxes | Electronics, instruments, consumer goods | Lighter, with smooth walls for labelling and a smaller shipping volume. |
| Slatted crates | Heavy, bulky goods that need to be inspected | Gaps between the boards cut weight and cost; the cargo is braced inside. |
| Returnable crates | Supply loops between plants, seasonal equipment | Screw-fastened walls or lid — the crate can be opened and reassembled repeatedly. |
| Machinery crates with a base | Machine tools, motors, industrial equipment | A reinforced base with skids; the load is bolted or blocked to the base. |
| Non-standard crates | Long, fragile or irregularly shaped cargo | Designed around the cargo and made from a single unit upwards. |
Tell us the product's dimensions, weight, fragility and destination country — we will choose the wall thickness, fastening and treatment.
