Custom-built crates

Crates engineered for the way your cargo actually moves.

We design and build wood crates for loads that do not fit the standard pallet — reclamation aircraft, race and specialty vehicles, replacement parts, and long-term storage. Every crate gets drawn around one specific job, with the right material, hardware, and handling path before the first board is cut.

Industries served

A crate for what you actually ship.

Four industries we build for day in and day out. Pick the one that matches the cargo and the rest of the spec writes itself.

Aerospace & aircraft reclamation

Cradles and containers for retired airframes, fuselage sections, and engines in transit to teardown or storage. Builds sized to the airframe so loads ride flat and lift points line up with the recovery crew.

Vehicle shipping

Single-vehicle and small-fleet shipping crates for race cars, classics, prototypes, and specialty equipment. Engineered for ramps, tie-downs, and repeated loading without rack distortion.

Parts shipping & storage

Reusable, dunnage-friendly containers for replacement parts, assemblies, and serialized components. Bracing matches the part geometry so units survive multi-leg transport and stay organized on the receiving dock.

General storage

Heavy-duty storage crates for tooling, fixtures, archives, and oversized equipment that needs to come back out the same way it went in. Built for stacking, humidity, and the long quiet years in between moves.
