Considering your needs, specifications, final destination, and the asset itself, our Craters & Freighters team will determine the smartest, quickest way to get your assets where they need to be.

When sending newly manufactured vehicles across the nation, we will send a team to your location with pre-built crates, or materials to crate the vehicles and their associated parts on-site. We are professionals at handling and managing your newly manufactured automobile transportation with security at the forefront. Here are the steps we take to ensure your automotive parts and vehicles arrive safely.

  • Drive vehicle onto crate
  • Chock vehicle’s wheels
  • Strap the chassis
  • Disconnect the battery
  • Tape the door
  • Close the crate
  • Install an inspection window

On-Site Crating

Our crating professionals know that getting heavy, oversized machinery and auto parts to our facility can prove impossible. That’s not a problem for us; we will come to your manufacturing plant to design and engineer the precise custom container and supporting protection at your location for the secure shipment of your auto assets.

Our on-site crating services are designed to keep your items safe. We use the same high-quality materials, spec-driven computer software, and proven skillset to build crates at your location as we do at our warehouse. Our team never sacrifices integrity, no matter where your container is built.
