Crating fragile or high-value items for a move in Hudson Valley is a process that requires care and precision. With Triangle Movers, that process starts with a consultation where our moving team evaluates the size, shape, and condition of your items that need crating. From there, skilled specialists design and build custom wooden crates or provide pre-built crates to fit each piece. Each crate follows ISPM 15 standards and is lined with padding or foam inserts to absorb shock and prevent movement during transit. You’ll receive a detailed plan in the form of an Order of Service outlining the crating and shipping timeline, materials used, and any special handling required. You’ll review a final inventory checklist and sign a bill of lading, confirming everything arrived as expected. If it is your first time using crate services, put your faith in our 25 years of experience. Our shipping experts will give you the peace of mind that your most delicate items are protected every step of the way.Moving for the First Time?

Crating services can involve the design and construction of protective wooden enclosures to safely ship your items that are fragile, high-value, oversized, or oddly shaped. These services are commonly used when standard boxes or containers do not offer adequate protection, especially for long-distance or international shipping.
If you are looking for a shipping option that offers better protection than standard cardboard boxes, Movebuddha.com says, “If you want extra insurance that your items will arrive in one piece, you should consider using wooden moving crates.”
Professional crating companies assess the dimensions, weight, and sensitivity of each item before designing a crate that minimizes movement and shields the contents from damage during transit. These may include custom wood crates, heavy-duty shipping crates, or industrial shipping crates.
At Triangle Movers, we offer reliable crate shipping options tailored to the specific needs of your belongings.
Whether you’re shipping fine art, electronics, or machinery, our team evaluates the best materials and structural design to ensure safe arrival.
“We understand that off-the-shelf packaging isn’t always enough, which is why our crates are built to specification and handled by experienced professionals,” adds President and Owner of Triangle Movers Jack Eschbacher, who has over 45 years in the moving industry. “We also offer ISPM 15 certified crates to meet international shipping standards.”
Reputable crating companies take precautions to safeguard fragile items by making a detailed evaluation of an item’s material and its structural points of weakness.
They then design custom crates built with high-quality wood and internal supports specially made to secure those weak spots. Padding, foam, and shock-absorbent materials are also commonly used to reduce vibration and impact during transit.
Proper sealing also prevents exposure to moisture or dust. Crating companies that serve international clients often provide ISPM 15-compliant solutions, ensuring crates meet global export regulations.
At Triangle Movers, we go the extra mile to protect delicate and sensitive items. “Our team uses precision-cut foam, custom braces, moisture barriers, and careful loading techniques to reduce any risk of damage,” says President of Triangle Movers Jack Eschbacher.
From glass and ceramics to lab equipment and antiques, we take pride in delivering items in the same condition they left in. Whether you need crating for a household move or freight crating for industrial machinery, we provide the right protection for every situation.

Yes, most crating companies provide custom crate designs based on the unique dimensions, weight, and fragility of each item.
Whether you’re shipping sculpture, industrial parts, or sensitive electronics, the design process typically includes the following:
This is all then tailored to the item’s particular transport method, whether that be air, sea, or ground. Custom designs help reduce excess packaging, ensure stability, and minimize handling risks.
We specialize in building custom wood crates that match the exact specifications of your shipment at Triangle Movers. President of Triangle Movers Jack Eschbacher assures, “No matter how complex or unusual your shipment is, we can build a crate that keeps it safe from start to finish.”
Usually, professional freight crating companies will offer shipment tracking, especially for long-distance or international deliveries.
Shipment tracking provides customers updates on pickup, transit location, and delivery status. This is especially valuable for customers shipping valuable or time-sensitive crates and allows them to monitor each step of the delivery process.
Movers researching crating companies should take careful note of companies that do not offer transparency around shipment tracking. MoveBuddha.com says, “The last thing rogue movers want is for customers to know where their household goods are.”
When you crate and ship with Triangle Movers, we provide detailed tracking updates throughout your shipment’s journey. You’ll have access to status reports and dedicated support from our logistics team if you have questions along the way.
President of Triangle Movers Jack Eschbacher promises customers, “Our crate shipping services are designed to give you full visibility and peace of mind.”
Finding a reliable crating company starts with researching experience, customer reviews, and certifications.
Look for companies with a proven history in handling fragile or valuable shipments, and see if they are descriptive about the quality of materials they use and their crate construction methods.
Check on whether the company adheres to ISPM 15 shipping standards, which are the standard that “describes phytosanitary measures that reduce the risk of introduction and spread of quarantine pests,” summarizes ispm15.com.
Trustworthy companies will be transparent about their process, offer insurance options, and follow best practices for residential, commercial, and international crating services.
At Triangle Movers, we’ve earned the trust of customers across Hudson Valley by offering dependable crating services which adhere to ISPM 15 standards and are backed by decades of moving and shipping expertise.
“We’re known for clear communication, quality craftsmanship, and exceptional care with each item we crate, and we invite you to look at our Google Business Profile to learn more about our positive record of service,” adds President of Triangle Movers Jack Eschbacher.
