Crating

Crating offers a high level of security for domestic shipping, and in cases where needed crates can be configured for compatibility for forklifts.

We recommend crating for marble, antiques, paintings, sensitive electronics, and every other category of fragile or oddly shaped household goods for storage. Crating is the best way of shipping and storing certain items. Lighter items can be toted by two-wheeler, but the heavier items may require forklift or pallet jack clearance on the bottom for handling. Expensive items may need creative crating and packaging answers and we can offer crating for storage at Mark the Mover, or crating for hand off to a third party complete with photo documentation of condition when said goods leave our care, custody and control.

Every Mark the Mover crate is custom built for the situation required. Our lifting crews will gently transmit your cargo from uncrated to crated. We prepare household goods for domestic crating, as international crating requirements require special documentation and selection of crating materials by the customs regulations of foreign countries. The protection of our environment impels them to be vary careful of woods that might carry pests foreign to the natural defenses of their region of the world. While crates at Mark the Mover are incredibly clean, these requirements are not in our wheelhouse, and so we can recommend craters that do such crating, but we do not.
