Some items don't need a full crate. They need a solid base and a way to be lifted, tied down, and moved safely. We build product bases, cradles, and shipping structures for heavy, top-heavy, or irregular equipment, designed around its footprint, weight, and mounting points.

What we build

  • Skid bases with bolt-down or block-and-brace mounting

  • Cradles and saddles for cylindrical or contoured items

  • Shipping frames and structures for tall or oddly shaped equipment

  • Bases that can later be enclosed into a full crate

  • ISPM 15-compliant construction for export

What helps us quote

A drawing or photos, the overall dimensions and weight, center of gravity and lift points if known, mounting hole locations, and how it will be moved.
