Cut to your sizes, delivered by the bundle or by the truckload.
Most of the wood that keeps freight safe is not a pallet or a crate. It is the dunnage wedged against a load, the cribbing under a machine, the mat under a crane outrigger. U.S. Pallet & Crate is an industrial wood supplier in Houston, TX, cutting dunnage, blocking, cribbing, mats and lumber to your dimensions out of our Kingwood facility. You send the cut list. We send the wood.
Dunnage and blocking are the cheapest items on a shipping dock and the ones that decide whether a load arrives intact. A trailer full of properly blocked freight rides very differently to one where somebody grabbed whatever timber was lying around.
Around Houston that wood does real work. Cribbing under equipment in the plants, crane mats on soft ground along the Gulf Coast, blocking inside containers heading out through the Ship Channel. It gets wet, it gets loaded on, and it gets thrown away and replaced constantly.
One thing worth knowing if you export: dunnage falls under the same ISPM-15 rules as the pallet. It has to be treated and marked, and small offcuts that do not carry the complete stamp should not be used as dunnage at all. That catches more exporters than any other single detail.
Five lines under one roof, all cut to your sizes in Kingwood and delivered across the Houston metro.
Custom cut dunnage and blocking, custom lumber and board sizes, custom cribbing.
Send a cut list and we run it. This is the line for operations that know exactly what they need and are tired of buying long lengths and cutting them down on the dock.

For separating, elevating and securing loads in trailers, containers and warehouse storage. High repeat volume, low unit cost, and the item most likely to be bought badly because nobody is watching it.
Explore Industrial Dunnage & Blocking SupplyCribbing for heavy load support, plus warehouse and staging cribbing.
Stacked timber that carries concentrated weight and gives you a stable base under machinery. Also what you want under a load in staging rather than resting it straight on a slab.
Explore Wood Cribbing SupplyHeavy duty crane mats, heavy equipment mats and laminated construction mats.
For spreading load across soft ground so equipment can work and travel without sinking or tearing up a site. Gulf Coast ground and Gulf Coast rain make this a bigger line here than in most of the country.
Explore Industrial Mat SupplyDeck boards and repair boards.
For operations running their own repair bench. Buying boards rather than replacement pallets is usually the cheapest way to keep a fleet alive, provided the wood you patch with is right for the job.

That is dunnage and blocking. If the shipment leaves the country the wood has to be treated and stamped like any other wood packaging.
Industrial Dunnage & Blocking SupplyThat is cribbing. Stacked timber spreads a concentrated load and gives you a stable, level base under machinery.
Wood Cribbing SupplyThat is a mat. Crane mats and laminated construction mats spread the load so the machine works instead of sinking.

Industrial wood is priced on lumber cost, dimensions and volume. Because these are usually repeat consumable items, the number that matters is the delivered cost per run rather than the price of a single piece.
The savings here are almost always in the cut list and the schedule. Ordering to the exact size you use removes the offcut waste and the labor to make it, and a standing order removes the rush buys.

Call Us (832) 702-8480Dunnage is wood used to separate, elevate and secure freight in a trailer, a container or in storage. It is not the pallet the goods sit on. It is everything wedged around them to stop movement.
The terms overlap in everyday use. Broadly, dunnage separates and protects, and blocking physically stops a load from moving. Both are cut wood and both are usually bought together.
Yes. Dunnage falls under ISPM-15 like any other wood packaging, so it must be treated and marked. Small offcuts that do not carry every element of the stamp should not be used as dunnage on an export shipment.
Cribbing is stacked timber that supports concentrated weight. It gives you a stable, level base under machinery and equipment, both during a lift and while a load sits in staging.
A heavy timber mat that spreads load across soft ground so cranes and heavy equipment can set up and travel without sinking or damaging the surface.
Yes. Send a cut list with dimensions and quantities. Cutting to size here is usually cheaper than buying long lengths and trimming them on your own dock.
Both. We run truckload volume and we also deliver smaller bundle quantities across the Houston metro.
Yes. Deck boards and repair boards are a standard line. For most operations running a repair bench, buying components is the cheapest way to keep a pallet fleet in service.
