Protect High-Value Equipment with Custom Crating Built for Safe Transport
Moving heavy machinery, fragile electronics, or high-value business assets requires more than standard cardboard boxes. A custom crate solves that problem by building a protective wood box around the exact shape and weight of your item.
To prevent physical damage, our experienced team designs container solutions tailored exactly to the weight, dimensions, and center of gravity of your items. Every crate is built to fit the item inside it, not a generic size that leaves room for things to shift around during transport.
A custom crate is engineered around your item’s exact specs, not a generic size. Call us to get a custom crating quote.

Exporting Overseas? Use ISPM 15-Compliant Crates to Avoid Customs DelaysÂ
If your shipment is leaving the country, the wood crate itself has to follow a rule called ISPM 15. This rule exists to stop pests and plant diseases from spreading between countries through wood packaging. It means the wood used in your crate has to be heat-treated and stamped with an official mark before it can cross the border. Skip this step, and customs can hold, reject, or even destroy your shipment at your expense.
Brothers Fix builds export crates using heat-treated wood that meets this standard, so your shipment doesn’t get delayed or flagged at customs over a packaging issue that was avoidable from the start.

Why Custom Wood Crates Protect Valuable Shipments Better Than Cardboard BoxesÂ
Boxes are made from cardboard and work fine for lightweight, sturdy items. A crate is built from solid wood and designed to protect something heavier, more fragile, or more valuable during a long trip. Think of it like the difference between a paper bag and a wooden shipping container built specifically for what’s inside it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a crate and a box?
A box is usually made of cardboard and is meant for lighter goods. A crate is a rigid structure built from heavy-duty lumber designed to support heavy weights, prevent crushing, and protect fragile items from external impacts.
What is an ISPM-15 certified crate?
International trade laws require wooden packaging to be heat-treated or fumigated to prevent the spread of pests. Our ISPM- 15-certified crates are officially stamped, ensuring your shipment complies with customs regulations for international travel.
How long does it take to build a custom crate?
It depends on the item’s size and complexity. A single machinery or art crate is often ready within a few days. Larger orders, or crates needing special cushioning or export certification, can take longer. A coordinator gives you a realistic timeline during your quote.
Do you come to my location, or do I bring the item to you?
Both options are available. On-site crating brings the team and materials to your facility, which minimizes handling and works well for large or installed machinery. Off-site crating means bringing your item to a Brothers Fix facility, better suited to smaller or more delicate pieces.
