On-Site Crate Building in Toledo, OH

Some equipment is simply too large, heavy, or difficult to move before it is packaged. Our on-site crate building service allows us to build the crate or pallet at your location.

On-site crating can be a practical solution for:

• Industrial machinery

• Manufacturing equipment

• Medical equipment

• Commercial equipment

• Large furniture

• Machinery components

• Construction equipment

• Oversized products

• Fragile equipment

• Business inventory

• Equipment being relocated

• Items being prepared for freight shipment

We can measure the item, determine the appropriate crate or pallet configuration, and construct the wood packaging around the item at your facility.

This can help businesses avoid the unnecessary expense and difficulty of transporting large equipment to another location simply to have it packaged.

Off-Site Custom Crate & Pallet Building

If your item can be transported to our work area, HandyBrother can also provide off-site custom crate and pallet construction.

Off-site services are ideal for businesses that need:

• Custom shipping crates

• Wooden pallets

• Heavy-duty pallets

• Custom skids

• Shipping platforms

• Equipment crates

• Replacement pallets

• Multiple crates or pallets

• Custom-sized wood packaging

Tell us what you're shipping, provide the dimensions and weight, or bring the item to us when practical, and we'll help determine the best wood packaging solution for your project.

Custom Wooden Shipping Crates

Standard boxes don't always work for large, heavy, valuable, or unusually shaped items.

Our custom wooden shipping crates in Toledo can be built to accommodate the dimensions and shape of your equipment or product.

Custom crates are useful when you need to protect an item during:

• Freight transportation

• Local transportation

• Long-distance shipping

• Warehouse storage

• Equipment relocation

• Commercial deliveries

• Moving and installation

• Industrial transportation

A properly constructed wooden crate can provide a stronger and more suitable enclosure than trying to modify a standard shipping box.

For particularly fragile items, additional internal blocking, bracing, cushioning, or protective materials may be appropriate depending on the item and shipping requirements.

Custom Pallet Building in Toledo

Need a pallet that doesn't match a standard pallet size?

HandyBrother can build custom wooden pallets and shipping skids in Toledo, OH for businesses and individuals who need a platform designed around a particular product or piece of equipment.

Custom pallets can be useful for:

• Heavy equipment

• Machinery

• Industrial parts

• Large products

• Manufacturing components

• Commercial inventory

• Oversized items

• Freight shipments

• Equipment storage

Instead of trying to make your item fit a standard pallet, we can build the pallet or skid around the dimensions and requirements of your project.

Industrial Equipment Crating

Businesses throughout Toledo and Northwest Ohio regularly need to move machinery, equipment, tools, and other large items.

HandyBrother provides custom industrial crating and wood packaging services for businesses that need practical solutions for transporting or storing equipment.

We can build custom packaging for items such as:

• Manufacturing machinery

• Machine-shop equipment

• Electrical equipment

• Commercial equipment

• Industrial components

• Medical equipment

• Large tools

• Pumps and motors

• Replacement parts

• Fabricated components

If you have an unusual item that needs to be shipped or transported, contact us with the dimensions, weight, photos, and destination so we can determine what type of crate or pallet may be appropriate.

Crate Building for Medical Equipment

Medical equipment can be expensive, delicate, and difficult to transport.

HandyBrother can help businesses prepare certain medical equipment and mobility equipment for transportation or shipping by constructing custom wood crates, pallets, and protective packaging.

This can be particularly useful for suppliers, distributors, installers, repair companies, and businesses that regularly move equipment between locations.

For medical equipment, the appropriate packaging depends on the manufacturer's requirements, equipment specifications, freight carrier requirements, and the sensitivity of the equipment.

Who We Serve

Our custom crate and pallet services can help a wide variety of customers throughout Toledo and Northwest Ohio, including:

Manufacturers

Prepare machinery, components, and finished products for freight transportation.

Machine Shops

Ship fabricated parts, machinery, and large components using custom pallets or crates.

Medical Equipment Companies

Warehouses & Distributors

Contractors

Businesses

If your company needs something packaged, palletized, crated, or protected for transportation, we can help determine a practical solution.

Crate Building for Oversized & Difficult-to-Move Items

One of the biggest advantages of on-site crate construction is that the item doesn't necessarily have to be moved before it is packaged.

If you have a large piece of machinery or equipment in Toledo that needs to be shipped, building the crate around the item at your facility can make the process much easier.

Our team can evaluate the available space, take measurements, and construct the wood packaging based on the project.

This service can be especially useful when moving the item before crating would require specialized equipment or additional labor.

Custom Crates & Pallets for Freight Shipping

When preparing an item for freight, the packaging needs to account for its dimensions, weight, handling, and transportation method.

HandyBrother can build custom wood packaging intended to make your item easier to handle and transport.

Depending on the project, this may include:

• Wooden crates

• Open crates

• Closed crates

• Heavy-duty pallets

• Skids

• Shipping bases

• Wood frames

• Blocking

• Bracing

• Protective wood structures

If your freight carrier, manufacturer, or receiving facility has specific packaging requirements, provide those specifications before construction so we can determine whether the requested packaging configuration is appropriate.
