Wooden Crates for Shipping: Reliable Crating & Packaging for Cargo and Freight

When shipping cargo locally or internationally, choosing the right wooden crates for shipping is crucial. Whether you’re exporting machinery, fragile goods, or bulk stock, DHN Distribution offers professional crating and packaging solutions tailored to your freight needs. Based in Benoni, South Africa, we specialize in custom-built wooden crates, wooden pallets, wooden skids, and plywood crates, helping protect and transport your goods safely and securely.

Why Wooden Crates for Shipping Are Essential

Shipping can expose goods to damage, impact, dust, and moisture. Without proper packaging, even the most robust items can arrive scratched, dented, or broken. At DHN Distribution, we provide high-quality wooden crates for shipping and packaging services that ensure your products arrive intact and meet ISPM 15 export standards.

Our crating solutions are ideal for:

• Cargo and freight companies

• Exporters and manufacturers

• Machinery and equipment dealers

• Logistics and warehouse providers

Types of Wooden Crates and Packaging We Offer

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Our team customizes every crate, pallet, or skid based on your goods’ size, weight, and fragility.

1. Solid Wooden Crates

These fully enclosed wooden Solid crates are perfect for high-value and sensitive cargo. They offer complete protection against dust, moisture, and impact during international or long-distance shipping.

2. Slatted Wooden Crates

Designed for airflow and lighter weight, slatted Wooden crates are ideal for durable goods that don’t require full enclosure. They’re popular for general cargo shipping and regional distribution.

3. Plywood Crates for Fragile Items

Fragile goods like electronics, artwork, or glassware demand extra care. We build plywood crates with:

• Bubble wrap for cushioning

• Polystyrene inserts for vibration control

• Custom internal bracing for added stability

These materials work together to prevent movement and absorb shocks during transit.

4. Wooden Skids for Heavy Equipment

Heavy machinery, like generators or motors, often require wooden skids instead of full crates. Skids are strong, open bases that:

• Support weight efficiently

• Allow access for forklifts and cranes

• Reduce packaging bulk for oversized goods

We secure the cargo using straps and bolts to minimize shifting and scratching.

5. Wooden Pallets for Bulk Shipments

Need to ship or store large quantities? Our wooden Solid pallets and wooden slatted pallets are ideal for stacking and transporting bulk goods. We use shrink wrap to protect your products from dust, dirt, and moisture—especially important for long-distance or warehouse storage. When shipping or storing in bulk, wooden pallets are essential. We use high-quality timber pallets that can handle significant weight and rough handling. To protect the goods, we apply shrink wrap, preventing exposure to dust and damage during transit.
