CRATES
Tailored Solutions That Start With You
Our custom wooden crates are engineered for maximum protection and built to handle whatever you put inside them. We design and build crates to accommodate a wide range of sizes, shapes, and weights — from compact components to oversized industrial equipment — ensuring your products arrive safely at their destination, every time.
Since 1986, manufacturers throughout Northeast and Central Ohio have trusted Built-Rite Box & Crate to deliver custom wood crating that performs under real-world shipping conditions. Each crate we build is designed around your specific product, your shipping route, and any handling challenges in between. No two shipments are the same, and neither are our crates.
Features: Reinforced corners, internal bracing, shock absorption, and weatherproofing options for added protection. We also offer heat-treated (ISPM-15 compliant) crates for international export, custom interior fittings, foam padding, and specialized hardware to secure even the most awkwardly shaped loads.
Applications: Heavy machinery, industrial equipment, fragile goods, oversized items, electronic assemblies, automotive components, aerospace parts, medical devices, tooling and dies, and more. Whether your product weighs fifty pounds or five thousand, we will engineer a crate that fits.
Custom Built to Your Specifications
Every crate we manufacture starts with a conversation about your product. Using our advanced Creo Design System, we create detailed 3D models before any wood is cut — optimizing material usage and ensuring a perfect fit. You will review the design before production begins, so there are no surprises, no wasted material, and no guesswork.
We work with a range of wood types and grades to match your durability requirements and budget, and we can incorporate custom blocking and dunnage or cradles to keep your product secure throughout transit.
