This directory lists 117 crating companies across the United States, from high-value art and artifact shippers to heavy industrial equipment skidding and bracing specialists.
These companies address critical needs like protecting irreplaceable machinery during relocation, ensuring sensitive electronics withstand vibration, or securing oversized components for international transit. Buyers often seek solutions for complex challenges involving precise load distribution, environmental protection via vapor barrier bags, or compliance with stringent military specifications (MIL-STD-2073) for defense contracts.
The crating landscape spans specialized providers focusing solely on delicate art packaging with museum-grade care, to industrial fabricators capable of on-site heat-treated crating for massive equipment, and export packagers adept at navigating intricate global logistics and ISPM 15 compliance. Some even offer comprehensive turn-key solutions that include freight forwarding and warehousing, distinguishing themselves by their full-service capabilities rather than just carpentry.
