THE BENEFITS OF CUSTOM CRATING
Heavy Duty offers premium custom crating for all goods shapes and sizes, regardless of destination, nationally or worldwide— over the ground, ocean, and air. Here are the benefits of using custom crating:
CUSTOM-BUILT TO FIT
One of the main advantages of using a custom wood shipping crate is to prevent damage. The exact dimensions are taken for your items, making custom crating ideal for your shipping needs.
At Heavy Duty, we deliver top-notch crates, ensuring safety, and protecting your items at all times. We do this by:
- Determining the exact shape and size specifications of your freight
- Assessing the amount of protection needed
- Considering the fragility of your goods
EASIER MOVING
When a custom crate is supporting and protecting your freight, this minimizes the risk of damage from loading and unloading multiple times. By designing crates to stack, this provides an efficient shipping system with smooth mobility and fast shipping time.
SUPPORT & PROTECTION
Support & Protection
When building custom crates, we’re always considering the weight of the goods you’re shipping. By doing so, your shipping crate will support and protect your products regardless of the shipping method. While using custom wood packing crates, you’ll have the confidence that your goods will arrive at its destination in one piece.
PREVENTS SHIFTING
When stuff moves around during a shipment, things can break, dent, or come apart. By using custom crates, preventing shifting includes the use of bracing or blocking. Your freight will not be moved or damaged during the transport to its shipping destination.
At Heavy Duty, we offer professional packaging to add to the protection of your goods. We work closely with our customers to find the perfect mix of custom crating and protections, guaranteeing your products arrive in perfect condition.
WE BUILD PALLETS & SKIDS
Yes, there is a difference between pallets and skids, even though people use those words interchangeably. Here at Heavy Duty, in Memphis, TN, we know the difference, custom building pallets, and skids as they’re supposed to be.
What is a Pallet?
A pallet is a load platform used for stacking, storing, protecting, and transporting materials when being handled by forklifts, pallet jacks, or conveyors. A pallet provides more stability than skids because it has a top and bottom deck.

What is a Skid?
A skid is known as a single deck pallet. It has a top deck and no bottom deck—the most common usage of skids are for permanent foundations of heavy machinery for mobility purposes.
