Wooden Crates

Wooden crates are time-tested, heavy-duty packaging solutions built from solid timber or lumber, designed to encase and transport goods that demand maximum protection. Constructed from planks or beams—often pine, oak, or spruce—these rugged containers feature a fully enclosed structure with a base, four walls, and a lid, fastened with nails, screws, or metal straps. Renowned for their strength, longevity, and ability to withstand harsh conditions, wooden crates excel in shipping heavy machinery, industrial equipment, or fragile items across long distances. Offering unmatched durability and customization, they remain a cornerstone in logistics, manufacturing, and even artisanal applications, balancing brute force with practical utility.

A wooden crate is a robust box made from solid wood planks (typically 15-25 mm thick) or thicker beams, assembled into a rigid, enclosed frame. Unlike plywood boxes, which use layered veneer sheets, wooden crates rely on solid lumber for greater structural integrity, often reinforced with corner braces or metal banding. They can be open-slatted (for ventilation) or fully sealed, with bases designed as skids or pallets for forklift handling. Heat-treated to meet ISPM-15 export standards, they’re built for one-way shipping or repeated use, depending on design and purpose.

Applications

  • Materials: Solid softwood (pine, spruce) or hardwood (oak, maple), untreated or heat-treated; optional linings like tar paper or foam for weatherproofing or cushioning.
  • Dimensions: Highly customizable—standard sizes like 1200x1000x1000 mm align with pallets, but range from small (500x500x500 mm) to oversized (3000x2000x1500 mm).
  • Load Capacity: Handles 1000-5000 kg or more, depending on wood thickness and reinforcement—far exceeding plywood or carton options..
  • Construction: Nailed or screwed planks, often with diagonal bracing or metal straps; open crates use slats with gaps (e.g., 50 mm), while closed crates are solid-walled.
  • Weight: Heavier than alternatives—a 1200x1000x1000 mm crate weighs 50-100 kg empty, reflecting its solid build.
  • Add-Ons: Skids, hinged lids, lockable latches, or internal dividers tailor functionality for specific loads.

Key Benefits

  • Strength and Durability: Solid wood construction supports massive loads (up to 5000 kg), resisting crushing, punctures, and stacking pressure—perfect for industrial use.
  • Protection: Fully enclosed designs shield contents from weather, dust, and impact, outclassing open pallet collars or carton pallets for sensitive goods.
  • Reusability: Built for reuse, lasting years with minimal wear—unlike one-use corrugated pallets or paper edgeboards.
  • Customization: Custom sizes and configurations (e.g., slatted for produce, sealed for machinery) adapt to diverse needs, from exports to storage.
  • Compliance: ISPM-15 heat treatment ensures pest-free shipping, avoiding customs delays—a must for international trade.
