• All packaging and designs can be applied to lightweight consignments too.
• Please see below for some examples of our recent export packing consignments.

Close Boarded Wooden Skid

• This close-boarded wooden skid is made-to-measure, and is one of our simpler designs.
• Forklift runners allow lifting from all sides.
• Cargo is secured onto the wooden skid, and in this case, stowed to a shipping container.

Wooden Skid with Bespoke Support

• This consignment features a wooden skid base with a bespoke support structure.
• The shafts were secured to the skid base, which was stencilled with identifying marks.

Wooden Skid with Custom Wooden Saddle

• In a similar fashion, this custom design includes the standard close-boarded wooden skid base, with bespoke softwood saddles designed to support cylindrical cargo.
• Again, the cargo is secured to the skid for onward transport.

Complex Wooden Skid Design

• This example is a more complex design.
• Still based around the wooden skid, a complex softwood framework was manufactured around the sensitive cargo to secure it in transit.
• Forklift runners were included to allow safe movement around the site.

Wooden Skid with Case Skirt

• This marine equipment was export packed to our made-to-measure wooden skid base, and then a small skirt was added for increased protection in transit.
• Stencilling and forklift runners were included.
