What Is Industrial Crating?

Industrial crating uses custom wooden shipping crates to safely package and transport equipment, machinery, and high-value assets worldwide. TransPak goes beyond basic crating by serving as a single point of contact for packaging, logistics, rigging, climate-controlled warehousing, and more. Across our 80+ global locations, customers benefit from consistent materials, ISO-certified workmanship, shared BOMs and drawings, and reliable design and engineering capabilities.

Sustainability is a priority: we source lumber and plywood from responsible manufacturers and follow an aggressive recycling program to reduce waste.

Materials We Use in Crating

Custom crate solutions begin with your specifications. From lightweight crates for sensitive assets to heavy-duty designs for industrial equipment, we select materials that balance protection, cost, and sustainability. TransPak works closely with your team to ensure each crate meets your performance and shipping requirements while supporting responsible sourcing and eco-friendly practices.

Hardwood

Wood serves as the base material for the majority of our crates. Solid wood is reliable for absorbing high-impact forces and is easily customizable depending on your specific needs. TransPak utilizes treated lumber to ensure ISPM-15 compliance for international shipping.

Plywood

Plywood is impervious to warping, shrinking, and swelling, and distributes pressure evenly, making it a dependable choice for protecting goods during transit. Plywood is just as customizable and reusable as hardwood.

Metal

For extra stability, we use metal reinforcements in key areas of your crate as needed, or for easy disassembly. Our engineers are masters at using steel to provide the necessary dent- and warp-resistant support for your cargo.

Foam

We have in-house conversion capabilities that allow us to equip our crates with foam where needed. Foam helps to ensure optimal shock absorption for a safe and smooth delivery for even the most fragile assets.

Plastic

With a lighter weight and lower cost than wood, plastic components may be used depending on customer needs and budget. When using plastic, we’ll provide alternative and reusable solutions as well.

Protective Layers

Various protective layers may need to be implemented to protect sensitive products from static, moisture, dust, and other environmental factors.

After constructing your custom crate, we follow an aggressive recycling program – we can grind and recycle scrap wood into fireplace logs or press board, and compress scrap foam into bales or convert it into carpet padding. Alternatively, scrap foam can be returned to the foam manufacturers for use in recycled products.
