Crating Services
Crating Services in New York
When standard packing methods aren’t enough, custom crating becomes essential—especially for fragile, oversized, or high-value items heading overseas. At Manhattan International Movers, we offer expert crating services in New York that are specifically designed for international shipping. Our wooden crates are custom-built to protect your most important belongings from the rigors of long-distance travel, multiple transfers, and fluctuating climates.
Custom Wood Crates for Maximum Protection
Every international move involves challenges—from unpredictable weather at sea to rough handling during loading and unloading. That’s why we engineer each crate to fit your item’s exact size and shape. Whether you're shipping a piano, sculpture, television, or antique mirror, our custom crating ensures that each piece is fully cushioned, supported, and reinforced. The structure of each crate minimizes internal movement and provides shock absorption during transit.
On-Site Crating for Oversized and Delicate Items
Some items are too large, too heavy, or too fragile to be moved off-site before being packed. That’s where our on-site crating services come in. Our trained team visits your home or facility in New York to assess, measure, and build the crate on the spot. This ensures that delicate or immovable items are protected immediately, without risk of transport-related damage before shipping even begins.
Export-Compliant Materials and Construction
International shipping regulations require that crating materials meet specific standards—especially for wood packaging. All crates built by Manhattan International Movers comply with international export requirements, including ISPM-15 regulations. This means our crates are heat-treated, stamped, and accepted by customs authorities worldwide. We also build with moisture-resistant components and sealable closures to protect your items against environmental factors during ocean or air freight.
Specialized Crating for Art, Antiques, and Electronics
Certain categories of items require an even higher level of attention. Fine art, delicate antiques, and advanced electronics often demand precision padding, climate control considerations, and non-abrasive internal lining. Our specialty crating services address these needs by customizing the crate’s interior with foam inserts, anti-static materials, or temperature-resistant components—ensuring that each item arrives at its destination intact and fully functional.
Coordination With International Shipping and Freight
Once crated, your items are not just protected—they’re also ready for the next step in your international move. Our logistics team integrates crating into your overall relocation plan, ensuring that each crate is labeled, inventoried, and scheduled for pickup and shipment. Whether you're using ocean freight, air cargo, or container moving services, we align the crate’s dimensions and handling requirements with your broader transport strategy.
Safeguard What Matters Most
When you're moving precious cargo across the globe, there’s no room for compromise. Manhattan International Movers provides New York residents with high-quality, export-ready crating solutions that deliver real peace of mind. From delicate heirlooms to industrial-grade equipment, our crates are built to handle the journey—so your valuables don’t have to.
