CRANE & FORKLIFT SERVICE NEW JERSEY SHIPPING COMPANY
Ever wonder how New Jersey port trucking companies use crates, skids and pallets to ship machinery for import export?
Shipping companies use crates, skids, and pallets as packaging and transportation solutions for shipping machinery and other heavy or bulky items. These packaging methods help protect the machinery during transit, optimize space in shipping containers, and facilitate the loading and unloading processes.
Crates are sturdy wooden or metal containers used to encase machinery and equipment. They provide protection against physical damage, moisture, and other environmental factors. Shipping crates are custom-built to fit the dimensions of the machinery, ensuring a snug fit and reducing the risk of movement during transit. Crates are often designed with hinges, latches, and locking mechanisms for easy access to the machinery during loading, unloading, and inspection.
Skids, also known as skid platforms or load bases, are flat structures made of wood, metal, or plastic. They serve as a foundation for machinery and equipment, elevating them slightly off the ground to facilitate handling and transportation using forklifts or pallet jacks. Skids are usually used when the machinery doesn’t require complete enclosure like a crate, but still needs support and protection from direct ground contact.
Pallets are flat platforms typically made of wood, plastic, or metal, and they are commonly used in shipping for various items, including machinery. Pallets are used to create a stable and uniform base for stacking machinery or other goods. They can be easily handled using forklifts or pallet jacks, which makes loading and unloading more efficient. Pallets are often used in combination with stretch wrap or strapping to secure the machinery in place and prevent shifting during transit.
Pedowitz Machinery Movers will start by taking measurements so as to customize a unique shipping solution for each and every customer. The dimensions of the machinery are measured to determine the appropriate size for crates, skids, or pallets. Custom packaging solutions are then designed to match the machinery’s dimensions and weight.
Your machinery is securely placed on skids or pallets and enclosed within crates. The packaging is designed to prevent movement, provide cushioning, and protect against external elements. Next, your machinery assets are secured to the skids or pallets using straps, chains, or other fastening methods to prevent shifting during transportation. Additional padding and cushioning materials may be added to sensitive areas of the machinery.
Don’t forget that crated machinery, skids, or pallets are loaded into shipping containers or onto trucks using forklifts, cranes, or other appropriate handling equipment. Great care is taken to ensure that the machinery is properly positioned and secured to prevent damage during transit.
Then when your machinery is packaged and secured by our professional riggers it is transported by one of the most modern trucking fleets in the USA. Upon arrival, the machinery is carefully unloaded from the shipping containers using appropriate equipment. Crates, skids, or pallets may be disassembled as needed to access the machinery. Depending on the machine, we can, if required, assemble and install your equipment at the destination site.
By using only top quality wood for our custom crates, skids, and pallets, we can ensure the safe and efficient transportation of machinery while minimizing the risk of damage and facilitating the handling process.
