"We specialize in Factory relocation. On two separate jobs in Northern California we requested on-site crating whereby Craters & Freighters visited the sites and then designed crates for the machinery and then later crated the machinery just prior to the shipping."

Craters & Freighters Worry-Free Shipping Method
We already know that if we were wrapping a special Christmas Gift we wouldn’t use Newspaper. That would be foolish, who ever received that gift would feel it wasn’t important….Right? What if the gift was delivered to your Mom? Many times, in that case, you’ll probably have it professionally gift wrapped with Bows and Ribbons. You’ll have no worries while probably saving you a lot of time in the process and the end result would be Wonderful! You’ll be extremely happy but your Mom will be Ecstatic! What a day that would be…Wouldn’t it?
We have the same concept and we’re just in the Packing & Shipping business. We’ll make packing and shipping items like Wrapping Christmas Gifts! Whether you’re shipping it or you’re receiving it we care about how it’s packaged and its appearance.
“Imagine if you were a small start up company who was shipping your first item worth $20,000 to a customer and you knew he was Class-A Client who would send you more business soon. What is your Mindset at this moment? You’re probably going want everything to go as smoothly as possible…Right? There is no room to sacrifice Quality on this job. You also know that your client is also worried just as much as you are if not more.
You call Craters & Freighters who design and engineer a One of a Kind Custom Fabricated Crate to Specification to secure a $20,000 item. Wow! You receive pictures in your email of all the steps and precautions that has taken place. Whew! The Crate is done and boy does it look Clean, Professional, and Secure. It better be!!! The freight carrier arrives and you receive an email from Craters & Freighters with your tracking information without asking for it. What a Relief….. But not so fast it still needs to get there in one piece. At least you know Craters & Freighters provided you with Full-Value Insurance just in case.
Finally, your shipment arrives to your anxious but excited customer. He’s been expecting a wooden box not a High-Quality Custom Engineered Crate. Wow! You should have seen the look on his face. It was special. You’re not the only one whose business was depending on it. Mission Accomplished!!! But at the end of the day who do you think the Class-A Client called to say Thanks? Yes, he called You!!!”
Are you beginning to see how Specializing in Quality benefits you and us? Our mission is to engineer and fabricate the Highest-Quality Crates and Boxes in the Industry. Ensure the safety of the items being shipped while keeping customers happy and informed. That’s how Craters & Freighters Worry-Free Shipping works!!!
