Moisture can travel with your cargo.

Metal equipment can be exposed to changing temperatures, humidity and long storage or transport times. These conditions can increase the risk of corrosion, which is the damage that happens when metal starts to rust or break down.

Protection should be planned around the cargo, the environment, the storage time and the journey.

Anchor Crates offers corrosion-control options that can form part of a wider industrial packaging solution for metal equipment.

Have metal cargo that needs protection during storage or transport? Contact the Anchor Crates team to discuss the project.

Road, sea or air? The journey can change what your cargo needs.

Cargo may face different handling, storage and environmental conditions depending on how it travels.

Road freight can involve repeated movement and handling. Sea freight may involve longer travel times and changing moisture conditions. Air freight can place limits on space and weight.

The right packaging plan should consider the cargo itself as well as the journey ahead.

Swipe through the carousel for a simple look at the different transport methods and the questions worth asking before packing begins.

A strong load needs the right base.

A pallet does more than keep goods off the floor. It supports the load during storage, handling and transport.

The right pallet should suit the size, weight and shape of the cargo. A pallet that does not match the load can make handling more difficult and may not give the cargo the support it needs.

Anchor Crates supplies custom timber pallets for different industrial and transport requirements. The design can be planned around the dimensions and weight needs of the cargo.

Not sure what pallet your load needs? Speak to the Anchor Crates team about your requirements.

October is Transport Month in South Africa.

Every cargo journey depends on more than the vehicle that moves it. The packaging, support and securing should also be planned around the load and the way it will travel.

Anchor Crates works with industrial and domestic cargo for road, sea and air freight. A crate or pallet can be planned around the size, weight, shape and handling needs of the cargo.

Good planning before transport can help reduce unnecessary movement and give cargo added protection along the way.

One size does not fit every load.

Cargo can come in very different shapes, sizes and weights. A standard crate may leave too much open space or may not give the item the support it needs.

Custom crating is planned around the cargo itself. The size, shape, weight, handling needs and journey can all affect the packaging choice.

The aim is to help keep cargo supported and provide added protection during handling and transport.

Not every load fits inside a standard container.

Large or unusual cargo may need a different transport plan. A flat rack is an open shipping platform that can be used for certain oversized loads that do not fit inside a closed container.

The cargo still needs careful planning. Its size, weight, support, securing needs and route should all be assessed by trained professionals before it moves.

The right packaging can help prepare large cargo for handling and transport.

Have an oversized or unusual item to move? Contact the Anchor Crates team to discuss your packaging requirements.

Cargo protection starts before the truck, ship or aircraft moves.

If packaging is planned too late, the cargo may not have the support or protection it needs for handling, storage and transport.

A good packaging plan looks at the cargo first. Its size, weight, shape, sensitivity and travel method can all affect the type of crate, pallet, wrapping or securing that may be needed.

Planning early can help reduce the risk of movement and damage during the journey.

If you have cargo that needs to be packed or prepared for transport, contact the Anchor Crates team before it needs to move.
