Custom Crating
Hand-built wooden crates for the items that cannot be replaced.
Some items cannot be moved in a cardboard box. Marble tables, oversized canvases, mirrored armoires, custom electronics, sculpture, glass cabinets, these need hand-built wooden crates with archival padding, custom corners, and load-distributing supports.

Custom Crating
Our crating specialists build custom wooden crates from raw lumber for any item that needs museum-grade protection. We use kiln-dried plywood and pine, archival foam, acid-free interleaving, and load-distributing internal supports tailored to your piece.
Crates are built at your home (so the piece does not have to leave) or at a secure crating facility depending on the project. Every custom-crated piece comes with a written condition report, full-value protection coverage, and white-glove handling at every step.
What's included
If it is fragile, oversized, valuable, or irreplaceable, it should be crated.
Nationwide
Custom crating services available on every AmeriSafe interstate move, nationwide.
Binding pricing
Confirm your estimate type and carrier before booking. A binding estimate covers the shipment and services it lists; additional requested services and qualifying access operations can affect charges. Use FMCSA's interstate estimating guidance and the carrier's written terms to compare your options. For a move within one state, check the applicable state rules.

Custom crating for pianos, antiques, and fine art, equipment matched to the shipment, and climate-controlled storage.
Anything fragile, oversized, valuable, or irreplaceable: marble and stone tables, canvases and framed paintings over 60 inches, sculpture, mirrored armoires and large mirrors, glass and china cabinets, chandeliers, high-end audio and large-format displays, and rare or restored pianos. If a cardboard box cannot protect it, it should be crated.
AmeriSafe's crating specialists build each crate from raw lumber, kiln-dried plywood and pine, with archival foam, acid-free interleaving, and load-distributing internal supports tailored to the specific piece. Crates are built to your item's dimensions, not cut down from a generic size.
Either, depending on the project. Crates are often built on-site at your home so the piece never travels unprotected, or at the warehouse when that suits the timeline better. The pre-move assessment determines which approach fits your item.
For interstate household-goods shipments, Full Value Protection applies unless you select Released Value in writing. Released Value limits carrier liability to 60 cents per pound per article. Confirm the carrier’s declared-value requirements, deductible, exclusions and claims instructions before loading. Identify valuable articles individually and request a written explanation of any high-value limitation; packing or crating does not itself establish insurance coverage.
Crating is itemized into AmeriSafe's written estimate based on the piece's dimensions and materials, and the price is locked in writing before the truck rolls, so there are no per-crate surprises on move day. Call 855-967-0102 with the item's measurements for a firm quote.
