Custom Crates Designed for Manufacturing and Global Shipping
When standard packaging isn’t sufficient, Ability North Manufacturing provides custom crating and industrial packaging solutions designed to protect high-value products during storage, transport, and international shipping. We design and build crates to exact specifications, accommodating unique dimensions, weights, and handling requirements.
Our custom crating services help manufacturers reduce damage risk, simplify logistics, and free internal teams from labor- and space-intensive packaging work.
Built for Demanding Applications
Ability North’s custom crates and packaging solutions are commonly used for:
Heavy machinery and equipment
Sensitive electronics and instruments
OEM components and parts
Trade show displays and exhibits
International shipping requirements
Whether you’re shipping regionally or globally, our crates are engineered to provide structural integrity, protection, and compliance.
Engineered to Your Specifications
Every custom crate is designed with both product protection and cost efficiency in mind. Our team works directly from your prints or specifications to develop solutions that meet performance requirements without unnecessary material or labor.
Our crating capabilities include:
Fully custom dimensions and designs
Crates for oversized, heavy, or irregular products
Interior blocking and bracing for secure transport
Packaging solutions aligned with handling and shipping methods
