At Crating Express we don't just pack; we transform transport capacity. Our wooden platforms function as structural second floors that adapt to the internal dimensions of the container. This technique allows products such as golf carts or photocopiers, etc., to travel on separate levels, taking advantage of the total height that would normally be wasted.
What are wooden platforms for containers?
Wooden platforms are additional level structures que se construyen e instalan dentro de un contenedor. No se trata de un refuerzo para el suelo existente, sino de la creación de new independent floors que permiten segmentar el espacio vertical del contenedor
What are they primarily used for?
These structures are the technical solution for merchandise that, due to its fragility or shape, does not allow direct stacking (non-stackable cargo), but whose height leaves free space toward the roof of the container. Crating Express specializes in designing these levels for different items, for example:
-
Industrial photocopiers.
-
Golf Carts.
-
Slot Machines.
-
Any medium/low height cargo that requires taking advantage of the container's upper volume.
How are these platforms installed?
Our technical team analyzes the height and weight of your cargo to design a resistant structure. These platforms are anchored in a way that the integrity of the merchandise on the lower level remains fully protected, while creating a solid base for the upper level.
TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES
By using wooden platforms from Crating Expressyour logistics operation gains immediate competitive advantages:
International Certification
As export-grade wood, all platforms comply with the treatment ISPM-15, allowing global transit without phytosanitary restrictions.
Configuration Versatility
Depending on the equipment dimensions, we can install a single intermediate level or multiple levels to optimize the greatest and best use of space within the container.
Structural Safety
Each level is built to withstand the reasonable weight of the upper-level cargo, making it possible for the merchandise on the lower level to receive no pressure or physical contact.
Maximization of Usable Volume
Al disponer de uno o más niveles adicionales, se duplica o triplica la superficie de carga disponible dentro de una misma unidad de transporte.
How many levels can be added with these platforms?
At Crating Express we can install one or more levels, depending on the merchandise height and the container type (Standard or High Cube).
Do your wooden platforms comply with the ISPM-15 standard?
Yes, all of our bases and packaging have the ISPM-15 certified heat treatment. This is essential for exporting from Miami to international markets, avoiding customs rejections.
Do wooden platforms damage the container?
No. The platforms are designed to be self-supporting and snug-fitting, respecting the internal structure of the container and complying with transportation safety standards.
Optimize space utilization inside the container on your next shipment with additional levels.
If your merchandise leaves free space at the top of the container, at Crating Express we provide the technical solution to create custom-made new cargo levels.
