A Crate Built Wrong Is a Claim Waiting to Happen

Manufacturers and exporters moving equipment and specialty freight out of Houston's industrial corridors can't afford crating failures. A crate that shifts, collapses, or fails to protect its contents doesn't just damage the product — it delays your project, opens you to claims, and puts your customer relationship at risk. U.S. Pallet & Crate designs and manufactures every custom crate around what you're shipping. We account for weight, fragility, handling conditions, and shipping method. The result is a crate that does its job every time.

Custom Crate Pricing in Houston, TX

Custom crate pricing depends on dimensions, material, construction complexity, and any compliance requirements. Every quote is based on current material costs for your exact spec, broken down line by line.

Volume orders bring costs down. If you're shipping the same equipment type repeatedly, we can build a crate template that speeds production and reduces your per-unit cost.
