Custom Military-Grade Crates for Heavy-Duty Transport and Long-Term Storage
Military Packaging builds custom mil-spec wood crates to applicable MIL-STD and ASTM requirements for heavy-duty transport and long-term storage. We engineer each crate around your equipment and outfit it with complete preservation, from barrier bags and foam interiors to desiccants and custom bracing. When you ship large, heavy, or high-value hardware, our crates protect it and pass inspection.
Mil-spec wood crates are heavy-duty wooden shipping and storage containers built to applicable MIL-STD and ASTM requirements. We construct each crate to your equipment’s size and weight and reinforce it for high-impact transport, stacking, and long-term storage.
Outfitted with barrier bags, foam, and desiccants, a mil-spec crate protects large or high-value hardware from both physical damage and the environment.
A custom mil-spec crate gives your most demanding shipments complete protection:
A crate has one job: bring the contents through intact, no matter how rough the trip. We build ours to handle it. Reinforced framing and paneling resist crushing, dropping, and the stresses of stacking in a warehouse or a shipping container.
The construction protects against the environment as well as impact, so whether the crate sits on a depot shelf for years or crosses an ocean, the hardware inside stays secure.
A crate is only as good as what is inside it, so we build complete preservation into each unit as needed:
Mil-spec wood crates are the right choice for demanding shipments and storage:
Custom wood crates protect the largest and most valuable shipments across these sectors:
Every crate we build starts from your equipment. These factors shape the design:
Shipping wood packaging across borders comes with its own rules. International standards often require wood packaging material to meet ISPM 15, which calls for heat treatment to prevent the spread of pests.
When your shipment is bound overseas, tell us the destination and we will confirm the export requirements and build crating that clears customs, so your hardware reaches its destination without holdups at the border.
A crate protects its contents only if the contents cannot move. We engineer blocking and bracing around your equipment so it stays fixed in place through drops, stacking, and the constant motion of transit.
For heavy or awkward loads, that interior engineering matters as much as the crate walls. We design it to your equipment’s shape and weight, immobilizing the hardware so it arrives exactly as it left.
When you order a crate from us, you get more than the box. We build the full preservation system inside it, from barrier bags and desiccants to foam and wrap, so the crate and its internal protection are designed together.
That single-source approach removes the gaps that appear when crating and preservation come from different vendors, and it gives you one accountable partner for the whole shipment.
Not every load calls for the same crate. Fully enclosed crates protect against impact and the environment for sensitive or high-value hardware, while open and cleated styles suit sturdier equipment that mainly needs bracing and structure. Heavier loads call for reinforced framing and thicker paneling.
We recommend the style and construction that fit your equipment, your handling, and your destination, then build it to spec. The result is a crate matched to the job rather than a one-size container that overspends or underprotects.
A compliant crate carries more than hardware. Military shipments require clear, durable marking so the supply chain can identify, route, and handle each crate correctly. We build our crates to support the identification and handling marks your program specifies.
When your shipment needs specific documentation or marking, we make sure the crate is ready for it, so your hardware moves through inspection and transit without the delays that missing or incorrect marking can cause.
A crate headed for long-term storage and a crate built for a single rough shipment face different demands. Storage crates emphasize moisture control and stable, stackable construction for years on a shelf. Transit crates emphasize impact resistance and secure bracing for the stresses of the road, sea, or air.
We design each crate around its real mission, so you get protection matched to how and where your equipment will actually spend its time.
Every custom crate starts with a conversation about your equipment. Our team helps buyers and logistics managers design crating for large, heavy, and sensitive hardware, from the framing and bracing to the preservation system inside.
Send us your dimensions, weight, and destination, and we will design a crate around your hardware, confirm any export requirements, and quote it, so your most demanding shipments are protected end to end.
Not every load ships in a fully enclosed crate. For heavy equipment that needs a stable base and easy forklift handling, we build skids and pallet bases sized to the load. For hardware that needs full enclosure and environmental protection, we build closed crates around it.
We match the base and structure to how your equipment moves through the supply chain, so loading, transport, and storage all go smoothly from origin to destination.
Some programs move the same equipment back and forth, and a throwaway crate wastes money on every trip. For those cases, we build reusable, returnable crates with hardware that lets you open, reload, and reseal them across many cycles.
A returnable crate protects your equipment shipment after shipment while lowering the packaging cost of an ongoing program. Tell us how often your gear travels and we will recommend construction built for the mileage.
We construct crates to the MIL-STD and ASTM requirements your program specifies, and we support compliant marking so the crate moves through the supply chain cleanly.
For international shipments, wood packaging often must meet ISPM 15 requirements for heat treatment, so tell us your destination and we will build export-compliant crating that clears customs.
Send us your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and destination, and we will design a crate and preservation system around it.
We build to your spec, integrate the interior protection, and confirm availability and turnaround with your quote. From a single crate to a recurring program, we make custom crating straightforward.
We design each crate around your equipment, build complete preservation inside it, and construct it to spec so it passes inspection and survives the trip.
With us, you get one supplier for the crate and everything that protects the hardware within it.
Yes. We build each crate to your equipment’s dimensions and weight, with custom blocking, bracing, and interior fittings so your hardware is held securely for transport and storage.
We integrate complete preservation, including barrier bags, custom foam interiors, desiccants, chemically neutral wrap, and blocking and bracing, so the crate and its internal protection work as one system.
Yes. We construct our wood crates to applicable MIL-STD and ASTM requirements and support compliant marking, so they satisfy the standards defense and aerospace programs call out.
Yes. We build crates for export and long transit. International wood packaging often must meet ISPM 15 heat-treatment requirements, so tell us your destination and we will confirm export-compliant crating.
Yes. We engineer custom blocking, bracing, and foam interiors around irregular or delicate equipment so it stays immobile and protected, no matter the shape.
Send us your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and destination, and we will design a crate and preservation system around it and get you a quote.
