Moving is the worst. It’s stressful, even when it’s planned, and more work than anyone ever thinks. Custom crating companies make it so much easier but it’s an option some people don’t know about or consider. Here’s why custom crating is the way to go.
The Custom Crating Difference
Sure, you could pack everything in cardboard boxes and plastic bins, load them onto a truck and go. But chances are things will end up broken despite the huge investment in time.
Custom crating companies are staffed by experts who understand how to pack properly. They use wooden crates that are the correct size for your items to make sure that they are safely put away and transported without breakage.
These companies have experience with objects that are tough to pack:
- Pianos and other instruments
- Safes
- Sculptures and other artwork
- Electronics (personal and commercial)
- Commercial-grade appliances
- And many more.
Who Should Use a Custom Crating Company?
If you’re moving a residence or business, ask yourself the following questions. If you answer “yes” to one or more of them, you should definitely consider your options.
Are any of your items insured? If an item is valuable enough to be insured it is a good candidate to be moved in a custom crate.
Do you have items made of glass or other fragile materials? Do you really trust that glass table to a few go’rounds with bubble tape and a blanket in the back of a truck? It would be better in its own crate, wrapped, packed and transported by experienced professionals.
Are you moving your business’ servers and computer equipment? Especially if you don’t have full cloud backup (and even if you do), moving a server is risky. Between temperature changes, water leaks and more, it’s better to have these items securely packed and moved.
Are you moving any irreplaceable items? If something cannot be replaced, like a family heirloom, rare antique or collectible it should be treated with the care of professionals.
Do you want less stress around your move? Professional movers aligned with custom crating companies can often give you back time and lessen the stress of moving because you’ll know your items are safe and secure.
