Trusted by Clients with High Standards
Craters & Freighters has a well-earned reputation for meeting freight shipping needs with consistent, high-quality professional packaging and worldwide transportation services. We are trusted by both consumers and businesses to protect their assets with our unique portfolio of services.
Products are handled many times in the course of shipping and subject to multiple hazards during transportation, from shock and vibration, to rough handling, compression, puncture, and abrasion. Often, they will travel with a myriad of other products when transported by LTL, LCL or Air Freight. Our expertise ensures that items arrive at their destination on schedule and undamaged.
Unwavering Attention to Detail
Unlike most of our competitors, we do not outsource the most important part of the task, the pickup and packing of your goods. Why does this matter? Because items are most easily damaged before they are packed, or when they are not correctly packed.
Our primary goal is ensuring that your items arrive safe, damage-free, and on time. To achieve that objective, we use our time-tested processes with every shipment. Our team of experts evaluates your product, mode of transport, pickup location, delivery destination, and any special handling requirements before we design the container and cushioning that will ensure your assets are protected.
