Customizable Crate Design
When filling crates with loose materials, customization is key to ensuring secure transportation while optimizing costs. We offer a variety of options to meet your exact requirements:
Reinforced construction (belly bands) ensures the crate withstands heavy-duty handling and transportation.
At Wisconsin Lumber & Pallet, we specialize in designing custom bulk fill crates tailored to your specific shipping needs. Our crates are built for durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, making them ideal for transporting loose materials such as castings, stone, rods, pistons, forgings, and more.
Adjustable Gap Sizes:
Larger gaps lower material costs and are suitable for items that won’t fall through. Smaller gaps are ideal for smaller or irregularly shaped items that require added containment. Typical crack sizes range from 1 to 4 inches, based on your application.
Solid Construction Options:
For materials that require complete enclosure, we offer solid OSB or solid lumber boxes. These are perfect for items that require full containment or added protection.
Cost-Effective Vertical Slat Design:
Vertical slat hardwood crates or Vertical slat rough pine crates are often the most affordable and practical solutions for bulk fill applications.

Applications of Bulk Fill Crates

Our custom bulk fill crates are designed to handle a variety of materials across industries, including but not limited to:
- Loose Castings: Securely ship irregularly shaped metal castings without worrying about containment.
- Stone and Masonry: Perfect for transporting stone blocks, masonry materials, and similar heavy items.
- Rods, Bars, and Plates: Ideal for shipping long, cylindrical materials like metal rods, bars, or pipes. Raw or machined plates can be stacked with or without dividers depending on needs.
- Pistons and Forgings: Designed to accommodate high-weight, precision-engineered components.
- Other Loose Materials: Great for any item that isn’t small enough to fall through the crate gaps.
Whether you’re moving lightweight items or heavy industrial components, our bulk fill crates are built to handle the load.
