Expert crating solutions to protect your shipments
No matter what size shipment, it needs to get there safely. Forklifts, trucks, warehouses, air and ocean freighters can give your cargo a beating - unless it is properly crated using the right materials.
Aries has over 35 years of experience in manufacturing wood crates, pallets, and skids. The team offers:
- Expert, in-house crating experts to advise you on the right materials for your shipment
- Fully customized crating options that protect your investment
- Fully customizable stenciling options that identify your shipment
We make it easy to figure out the right materials that avoid unnecessary damage.
Over $6 billion in losses happens each year, with over two-thirds ($4 billion) attributed to “poor practices at the time of packing goods into a freight container.”
Protecting your shipment with customized crating service reduces the risk of damage to your valuable cargo, saving you time and money.
