No two shipments carry the same risk. ELCO World designs and builds crates, cases, and cushioning engineered around the item, the route, and the handling it will face along the way.
Our crating team designs around real handling conditions — forklift entry points, stacking loads, vibration on long transit, and the moisture exposure of a sea voyage — not just the item's dimensions.
Every crate is fabricated from heat-treated, ISPM-15 certified timber and finished with cushioning matched to the fragility and weight of what's inside, whether that's a single art piece or a full production line.
| Wood Export Crate | Plywood Case | Foam-Lined Case | Pallet & Skid | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best For | Heavy or irregular machinery | Mid-weight general cargo | Fragile or high-value items | Palletized bulk goods |
| Max Weight | Up to 10 tons | Up to 2 tons | Up to 500 kg | Up to 3 tons |
| Build Time | 48–72 hrs | 24–48 hrs | 24–48 hrs | Same day |
| ISPM-15 Compliant | Yes | Yes | N/A (non-wood) | Yes |
We inspect the item, record exact dimensions and weight distribution, and identify fragile or load-bearing points before any material is cut.
Crate style, timber grade, and cushioning are selected based on route, transit mode, and handling risk along the way.
The crate is fabricated in-house, with foam, bracing, and moisture barriers fitted around the item, not the other way around.
Every crate is checked for stability before dispatch and stamped with ISPM-15 and shipment documentation.
Share dimensions, weight, fragility, and destination, and our team will recommend the right crate build and turnaround.
