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
Most moving-day horror stories start with a vague estimate that becomes a bigger bill at delivery. AmeriSafe quotes qualifying interstate moves as a binding estimate: every service itemized up front, the total locked in writing, and changes only by signed addendum. Your coordinator confirms in writing whether your route and inventory qualify.

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.
Every custom-crated piece comes with a written condition report and full-value protection coverage, plus white-glove handling at every step. Free released protection at 60 cents per pound per item applies as the federal baseline, and the claims window is 9 months.
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.
