Custom Wood Crates Richey, FL

Custom Wood Crates & Boxes in Richey, FL

Custom wood crates provide maximum protection for high-value, heavy, fragile, or oversized shipments. Unlike standard pallets, wood crates fully enclose cargo on all six sides, protecting against moisture, impact, pilferage, and compression from stacked freight. Florida Pallet Supply builds custom wood crates and shipping boxes for businesses throughout Richey, Florida and Pasco New Port County.

Our custom crate capabilities include: open-top crates, enclosed crates with lids, skidded crates with integral pallet base, ramp-access crates for rolling equipment, heat treated ISPM-15 certified crates for international export, shock-isolated crates with interior foam/blocking for sensitive equipment, and military-specification crates (MIL-SPEC).

Pasco New Port County's food & beverage, cold chain, citrus, phosphate, aerospace, defense, tourism, healthcare, port logistics, retail distribu sector drives significant custom crate demand - particularly for capital equipment, precision instruments, defense components, and high-value industrial goods. We ship custom crates built in our facility to Richey and throughout Florida, or build on-site for very large equipment.

Our custom crate design process for Richey customers starts with your cargo dimensions, weight, and destination requirements. For export crates, we factor in ISPM-15 requirements, port of entry regulations, and ocean vs. air freight specifications. We can provide engineer-stamped drawings for valuable or regulated cargo requiring structural certification.

Common crate applications we build for Pasco New Port County and Richey businesses: machinery moving crates (forklifts, lathes, presses), aerospace components (jet engines, avionics), medical equipment (MRI machines, surgical systems), military hardware (sensitive electronics, ordnance support), trade show exhibits, and high-value art/antiques. Interior blocking, foam padding, and moisture barrier options available.

Do your custom crates need to be ISPM-15 certified for export from Richey?

Yes, if you're exporting from Richey, Florida to any of 180+ countries requiring ISPM-15, your custom wood crates must be made from heat treated lumber with IPPC stamping on every piece. We build ISPM-15 certified export crates for Richey businesses shipping through local ports, airports, and freight forwarders. Compliance documentation included.

What is the difference between a wood crate and a wood pallet?

A pallet is a flat platform that supports cargo from below. A crate fully encloses cargo on all sides, including top, bottom, and all four walls. Crates are used when cargo needs protection from weather, impact, compression, or theft - common for machinery, electronics, precision instruments, and high-value goods. We supply both pallets and crates to Richey businesses from the same operation.
