Secure your cargo with custom-engineered reinforcement structures. We use certified materials to guarantee safe transport and full customs compliance.
At Crating Express we select the material according to the weight, fragility and destination of your merchandise:
-
Solid Wood (White Wood / Pine): It is our primary material for manufacturing structural reinforcements. All our solid wood complies with regulations. ISPM-15, ensuring that their containers pass international phytosanitary inspections.
-
Plywood: Used to create uniform bases and internal divisions that ensure the integrity of your products.
Prevent Displacement: We use Plywood and Wood strategically to block empty spaces (void fillers), preventing inertia from destroying your product.
| Feature | Crating Express Specification |
|---|---|
| Main Materials | Solid Wood (White / Pine) |
| Phytosanitary Certification | International Standard ISPM-15 (Heat Treatment). |
| Load Capacity | Reinforced structures for heavy and delicate loads. |
Why their current reinforcements might fail
Many shipments suffer damage not from a lack of wood, but from the use of uncertified materials or a poor reinforcement design.
- Avoid Fines: The use of solid wood without the seal ISPM-15 may cause your container to be held at its destination.
- Prevent Displacement: We use Plywood and Wood strategically to block empty spaces (void fillers), preventing inertia from destroying your product.
What is "Blocking and Bracing" in logistics?
It is the process of securing cargo inside a container or truck using wooden blocks and structural reinforcements. The goal is to immobilize the goods so they are not damaged by acceleration and deceleration forces during maritime or land transport.
How long does it take to reinforce a container?
Depending on the complexity of the cargo, Crating Express's professional lashing service can be completed in just a few hours. We work in coordination with your loading schedule to avoid delays at the Port of Miami.
Is heat treatment necessary for reinforcing wood?
Yes. The wood used to secure international cargo must bear the HT (Heat Treated) seal in accordance with the ISPM-15 standard to avoid international customs penalties.
Don't leave the stability of your cargo to chance. Secure your investment with the experts in Miami.
