Pallets are used to ship and store many items including everything from consumables to manufacturing components to rolls of insulation. They are also used for odd-shaped items that are heavy or will not fit into a box or packing crate. Sometimes, there are problems due to sizing. Although made of different materials, pallets are made in limited standard sizes and are square in shape.
Custom Pallets
While pallets are built to handle stacked and wrapped boxes or bags, they are not built for securing single items. The surface is typically flat slats that have no bracing, strapping, or even lips that can keep an item stable. When a regular pallet does not work, a custom pallet in Fort Worth can be designed and constructed to meet special needs.
A company experienced in all aspects of crating & packing service also offers custom pallets. Master carpenters will create a pallet in Fort Worth specific to any item. Pallets in all shapes and sizes have been created with lips, half-walls, bracing, padding, and built-in supports. Examples of items successfully secured onto custom pallets include sculptures and movie props, prototypes of inventions, military items, and priceless collectibles.
Custom Crating
In addition to custom pallets, wooden crates can also be custom designed and constructed. Crates can be of any size and configuration desired. They can be reinforced for heavy loads, have hinged doors for easier packing and removal of items, and be placed on casters. Items can be and supported with foam, shelving, lined compartments, and vapor barrier bags.
Placing family heirlooms, glass objects, or even a stuffed moose from that last hunting trip can be risky. Equipment with several parts can be contained in the same custom crate. Not only does that ensure all the parts reaching the destination on time, but it also saves money on shipping. Sending one large crate is less expensive than shipping several smaller crates.
Other Possibilities
Small offices, benches, tree houses, sheds, decorative boxes, and tables, among other items, can also be constructed. If customers want something unique for themselves, the yard, the business, or a one-of-a-kind gift, it will be designed and completed per exact specifications.
