Customized Pallets
A pallet is a mobile, flat platform, sometimes with sides. It stores, ships, and transports a wide range of items, from raw materials to finished products. Usually constructed from wood, pallets or load bases can be customized to accommodate loads of different sizes and weight distributions.
Many industries rely on pallets for their shipping needs, as they are trusted to support heavy loads at less cost than custom crates.
Our custom crating team designs pallets for multiple Seattle-based industries, (including but not limited to):
These important organizations rely on our expertise and guidance to manage and handle complex items, including large and heavy machinery, devices, and goods.
Craters & Freighters Seattle employs quality materials and experience to meticulously craft custom-designed pallets for nearly any asset, aiming to guarantee the safety of your items throughout the shipping process or while in storage.
Multi-Purpose Skids
A skid is a platform supported by two or more parallel runners that raise the platform to make it accessible for lifting with mechanical equipment, such as rigging. They’re often used to stabilize loads and help with storage, handling, and ease of transportation.
Skids differ from a pallet or load base in design; they’re usually higher, without additional cross members and stringers as support below the runners.
Using solely top-tier wood and materials, we provide comprehensive support for your sturdy, substantial assets. Our skids are meticulously crafted to ensure the safety and security of these sizable items during transportation.
You can trust our designers to create customized skids to transport your equipment or goods effectively to their destination.
