Custom Crating for Industrial & High-Value Shipments
Built for protection, handling, and transport.Whether your shipment is moving across Houston or across the globe.
Aries provides custom crating and packaging solutions for industrial, oversized, and high-value freight.
We design and build crates specifically for the shipment, accounting for weight, dimensions, fragility, and transport method, to ensure your cargo is protected from origin through final delivery.
Our crating services support both domestic and international shipments, including ground, air, and ocean freight.
Why Crating Matters
Crating is not just packaging; it is a critical control point in the movement of freight.
Improper packaging can lead to:
-
damage in transit
-
handling issues during loading and unloading
-
delays in shipping or delivery
-
compliance issues for international shipments
Properly designed crating ensures:
-
structural protection
-
safe handling across multiple touchpoints
-
readiness for any mode of transport
Built for Industrial & Energy Shipments
Our crating services are designed for the types of freight commonly moved in the Houston market, including:
-
oil & gas equipment
-
industrial machinery
-
oversized or irregular freight
-
fragile or high-value cargo
-
project and engineered shipments
This is not off-the-shelf packaging, each crate is built for the specific shipment.
Integrated with Transportation
Crating is most effective when it is coordinated with how the freight will move.
Because Aries manages both packaging and transportation, we ensure:
-
the crate is built for the shipment’s routing and mode
-
handling requirements are accounted for upfront
-
coordination between crating, pickup, and transport
This reduces risk and improves overall shipment execution.
