Crating Freight

To avoid costly damages to your shipment, you need to protect it against warehouse and road conditions. Our Crating Freight Los Angeles services will help you prevent loss and damage by packing, labeling and securing all your shipment properly. This explains why we are the leading crating freight company in LA.
If your freight does not require a full truckload, we will group your shipment with the other LTL (less-than-truckload) shipments and then ship it by truck. The greatest protection against damage that we offer to your shipment is by packing it properly. A shipment that is poorly addressed or improperly packed can cause unnecessary damage and delays. We avoid these problems by taking the right steps for packing and crating.

How to Pack Your Freight Shipment Properly

Palletizing
When dealing with multiple boxes or large items, we recommend that you palletize them before shipping. We will make sure that boxes don’t overhang after stacking them by distributing them squarely.
Most skids and pallets come in the standard size of 48 by 40 inches. You can easily purchase them from us at a competitive price. Our professionals prefer to use heavy-duty plastic wrap to secure or strap your inventory to the pallets directly.
After palletizing your items, we will need a forklift or loading dock at the delivery or pickup location. If there is no dock at both locations or when dealing with residential shipping, we will come with a truck that has a lift gate. However, we will apply an additional charge for bringing any specialized equipment.

Crating
With crating, we are able to provide a high level of protection against loss or damage. We use this packing method when dealing with overweight, fragile, and high-value items. If your move encompasses such items, always come to crating freight for the best solutions.
The main reason we prefer to use crates is the high level of protection that they offer. However, the main disadvantage is the additional cost, size, and weight. As a professional company, we have the required experience to handle all your crating needs. Our skilled professionals can crate both large and small items perfectly. The cost virtually depends on the size of crate that you need for your items.

Double Corrugated Cardboard
One of the most reasonable crating options is to use double layers or heavy grade cardboards. We ship a majority of the freight in this manner. We use corrugated cardboard to protect large items and furniture. The other thing that we do is strapping your items using nylon strapping tape or strapping bands.
When dealing with small fragile items and glassware, we double box them. The team hand-wraps such items in puddings like paper and bubble wrap. We separate the items with more padding and place them inside an inner shipping box.
One thing our team will never attempt to do is over packing your boxes. We place all the box crated items inside the actual shipping boxes with a padding of at least two inches between the outside shipping box and inside box. With these measures, you can be sure that your products have maximum protection during shipping.

Standard Grade Corrugated Cardboard
There are times when we deal with less fragile items like clothing and books. The best way to ship such items is using the right grade of corrugated cardboard. Our crating freight company will make sure that the boxes are new or in a good condition. We still accept used boxes as long as they are still study and the crew labels them clearly.

Over Wrapped
Even though over-wrapping can save costs in certain situations, it is not ideal for some items. Examples of materials that we use for overwrapping include canvas, plastic, and cardboard. Our company prefers to use this packing method for items that cannot be marred or scratches or don’t get damaged easily.

Unpackaged Shipments
There are times when you will want to ship your items “as are” with no protection or packaging. You can ship some items as they are because of their unique shape, size, or build material.
Such items are able to withstand freight shipping with no protection. In general, these items are not easily compromised, destroyed, or damaged by normal shipping conditions.

Labeling
The risk for lost freight or misplacement is higher in the absence of proper labeling. We normally put the telephone number and address of the consignee and shipper on all the items. Therefore, there is no confusion whatsoever if you are using our crating freight services in Los Angeles. We also include any special contacts, instructions, preferred delivery hours, and optional telephone numbers on the shipment.

Shipping and Receiving
Our freight team will provide any suggestions and make recommendations on the best way to execute the logistics of each shipment. We will advise you on how to package your items and ship them. You will also be guided on the process of downloading the required documents and BOL paperwork.
Once you book our services, we will send you proof of your shipment, customer service numbers, tracking PRO numbers, and carrier telephone numbers. Once we deliver your shipment, we will allow you to confirm the number of items and inspect the contents for shipment. If there are any problems with the shipment or shortages, you need to note them on the manifest of the driver. Remember the carrier is liable for timely and safe delivery of your freight. Our company is committed to giving you the best services all the time.

Quoting
Our company offers the most convenient ways of booking and quoting freight. You can either do so by phone or online. Once you are on our website, you can easily feel the quote request form.
