On-Site Crating Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose on-site crating over bringing items to your warehouse?
Many assets are at their highest risk during the initial move to a warehouse. On-site crating ensures your equipment is fully protected and stabilized before it is ever lifted onto a truck, significantly reducing the chance of transit damage.
Do you offer "White Glove" services at my location?
Absolutely. Our white-glove service includes professional packing, careful handling of your facility’s floors and infrastructure, and the complete removal of all construction debris once the crating is complete.
Can you provide international export compliance on-site?
Yes. All lumber used by our mobile teams is ISPM-15 certified and heat-treated. Whether we build the crate at our shop or your dock, it is guaranteed for seamless global customs clearance.
What areas do you serve for mobile crating?
We are the top choice for crating services throughout the Greater Boston Metro Area, including Holliston, Cambridge, and Western MA.
