Why CRATE?
Smarter
CRATE is available with built-in real-time tracking, communications, and a condition monitoring sensor array.
More Protective
Using "Ablative Engineering" techniques, CRATE directs energy from vibration and shocks away from the cargo inside.
Stronger
Hollow double walled design is lighter and stronger than wood and other types of packaging.
Modular Design
CRATE can be configured for pallet, 1, 2, or 3 + tier layouts to accommodate thousands of different types of cargo.
LARC's CRATE™ was designed specifically to help companies achieve their environmental goals. By aggressively pursuing the core ideas of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, our products have a dramatic positive environmental impact. Just one use of our three-tier CRATE™ to move a server cabinet will save an average of two timber trees, 3 gallons of fuel and will significantly reduce the release of CO2 and the need for using toxic chemical or energy-intensive heat treatments on lumber used for building wood and fiber packages. Additionally, our products are made to be 100% recyclable at end-of-life.

“We have now used the CRATE on multiple runs across the country and the results did not disappoint. Our people even tested the shock absorber base with finished material inside the CRATE and it held up like a champ."
