Discovering Armstrong Scientific’s Custom Crates
Precision Planning for Optimal Crate Design: Our journey towards ensuring your equipment’s safety begins with precision planning. During our pre-move survey, our experienced team takes note of various factors. We take into account the fragility, composition, size, weight, and value of your equipment. These factors guide us in determining the ideal approach to custom crate fabrication. Whether it’s the destination, handling frequency, or transportation method, every detail contributes to our tailored solution when we’re crating equipment.
Tailored Solutions for Your Unique Needs: Your laboratory equipment is as unique as your research. Accordingly, we tailor our custom crates to fit each piece perfectly. After collecting all necessary data, we engineer crates and packaging materials that align with your equipment’s needs. We design custom blocking and bracing components to secure sensitive parts. This ensures that the pieces stay in place through the journey.
Documents and Safety Measures: At Armstrong, our equipment crating process begins with a documentation phase. We start with taking a detailed inventory of your laboratory equipment that need to be moved. Our crating specialists look into into transport specifications, humidity indicators (when applicable), temperature requirements, and shock watches. Our commitment to safety extends to managing all necessary documentation. This includes crate specifications for domestic and international transport, stamps, and export documents.
Disassembly and Installation Planning: As one of the premier machinery crating companies, our approach to equipment relocation is to find innovative solutions for every challenge. Our logistics experts are adept at disassembling equipment when required. They will pay attention to fragile internal components of high-value items. Our primary goal is to guarantee the secure relocation of every piece.
The Crating Process
Pre-move survey: The first step is a comprehensive pre-move survey. During a site visit, we assess your relocation requirements and take note of factors such as facility size, destination, distance, and equipment specifics. By understanding the composition, size, weight, and value of each piece, we can determine the fabrication needs of custom crates.
Handling Assessment: Understanding what we’re relocating is only part of the equation. Our crating service also includes a handling assessment. This involves determining the number of crates required, as well as loading and unloading methods that guarantee equipment integrity throughout the relocation. The team will then work on designing and building the crates for your project.
Crating Logistics: Our services at Armstrong extend beyond fabrication. Once your equipment is meticulously crated and packaged, we take charge of shipping services. We’re craters freighters with years of experience shipping wood crates. Our crating specialists meticulously review your instruments to ensure regulatory compliance, particularly for international shipments. We coordinate white glove delivery and climate-controlled transport for all crated items, upholding the integrity of your equipment during its journey. We will take care of your shipping crate and safely transport it to destination.
