Export Crating Solutions

How will your export crate get treated at the shipping terminals?

The key to building the right export crate for proper rigging and loading is to focus on weight balancing and lift points.

Exporting industrial machinery or any heavy equipment will require some knowledge of how heavy freight is handled. Weight balancing and lift point placements are crucial in preventing damages. These two factors play a big role in how heavy machinery is packed and crated for export shipping. Whether your machinery is going by air or ocean, export crates must be able to endure the rough handling at any loading or shipping terminals.

Pharmaceutical equipment and some industrial machinery generally require vapor-barrier packing to prevent corrosion from even a slight exposure to salt from the ocean. Some heavy equipment may only require a hood crate. Call Craters & Freighters Shreveport for on-site analysis and quote.
