Export From Houston With Confidence

Houston's port is a gateway for industrial exports moving around the world. Exporters and manufacturers shipping through the Port of Houston know that a crate that fails at sea, in port handling, or in destination customs isn't just an expense — it's a crisis. U.S. Pallet & Crate manufactures export crates that meet international shipping standards, handle rough port and ocean freight conditions, and comply with ISPM-15 phytosanitary requirements. Heavy equipment crates are engineered for the weight and handling conditions of large machinery moves. Every crate leaves our facility ready for the journey.

Heavy Duty & Export Crate Pricing in Houston, TX

Heavy duty and export crate pricing depends on dimensions, construction spec, lumber grade, and any compliance requirements including ISPM-15. Every quote is based on current material costs, broken down line by line.

Recurring export programs get better pricing. If you're shipping the same equipment type internationally on a regular schedule, we can build a crate template and supply program that brings your per-unit cost down.
