What Are Large Wooden Crates?

Large wood crates are timber enclosures built to secure and protect large or heavy loads. Made from strong, kiln-dried pine or hardwood, these crates are designed to withstand the rigours of transport, including long-distance trucking, shipping container movement, and forklift handling.

Depending on your needs, wooden crates can be either fully enclosed (for maximum protection) or open slatted (for better ventilation and weight reduction). They’re ideal for:

• Industrial machinery

• Agricultural equipment

• Mining components

• Engineered parts

• Bulk packaged goods

• Construction materials

• Custom-shaped cargo

Why Choose Large Wood Crates Over Alternatives?

There are plenty of packaging solutions out there, but large timber crates deliver advantages that plastic, cardboard, or metal options often can’t match.

1. Strength and Load-Bearing Capacity

Timber crates are built tough. Whether you’re transporting fragile instruments or a multi-tonne generator, wooden crates provide a stable structure capable of withstanding immense weight and shifting motion.

2. Custom Sizes for Unique Jobs

Off-the-shelf crates rarely work for unusually shaped or extra-large items. That’s where custom wood crates shine. At AAA Pallets, we construct crates to your exact dimensions, ensuring a snug, secure fit that minimises damage in transit.

3. Export-Ready Compliance

All our large wooden crates meet ISPM-15 regulations, which means they’re heat-treated and stamped for international shipping. This ensures your cargo passes customs and quarantine inspections without delays or rejections.

4. Environmental Sustainability

We use sustainably sourced timber and recycle wood wherever possible. Once your crate has served its purpose, it can be reused, repurposed, or broken down for timber recycling—unlike plastic crates that often end up in landfill.

Common Industries Using Large Timber Crates

Large wooden crates are an essential part of many business operations, especially where large items need careful protection during handling, storage, or shipment. Some of the most common industries we work with include:

Mining & Resources

Mining equipment and components are often heavy, bulky, and valuable. Large crates allow for secure packaging during long-haul transportation, especially to remote or offshore sites.

Agriculture

From tractors to crop protection systems, large crates offer safe packaging for farm machinery and equipment. They’re also used to ship produce in large-scale bulk exports.

Engineering & Manufacturing

Complex machinery, fabricated parts, and precision tools benefit from being secured inside large timber crates, which protect against shocks and shifting during transit.

Construction

Structural beams, panels, windows, and prefabricated materials are often sent in large crates to ensure they arrive on site intact and ready for use.

Customisation Options for Large Wooden Crates

Every business has different packaging needs. That’s why we provide a wide range of customisation options:

• Internal Bracing & Blocking: Keeps the item from shifting during movement.

• Foam Lining & Padding: For sensitive equipment requiring extra cushioning.

• Lids & Hinges: Secure closures with screw-fastened lids or hinge systems.

• Forklift Access Points: Ensures ease of movement with pallets or tynes.

• Stencilling/Labeling: Add branding, handling instructions, or export markings.

• Removable Panels: Ideal for bulky or oddly shaped goods that require side loading.

Whether you’re transporting high-tech gear or something that’s rough and rugged, our team can design and build a crate that does the job right.

Large Wood Crates for Export: What You Need to Know

Shipping internationally? Here’s why you need to be choosy with your crates:

• ISPM-15 Compliance is not optional – it’s legally required for wooden packaging in most export markets. Our crates are certified and bear the IPPC stamp.

• Crate Marking: Clear markings of weight, contents, and handling are essential for customs clearance and safety.

• Protection Against Moisture: While wood is breathable, we can add plastic liners or desiccant packs if your cargo is moisture-sensitive.

Let our team walk you through the export process—we’ve been helping businesses in Southeast Queensland ship goods around the world for over 30 years.
