In order to safely transport certain items, particularly artwork, marble and glass, it is often necessary to create a custom crate. There are several types of crates we at Appaloosa Moving and Storage employ:

Cardboard Crate: For items such as glass doors, oversized televisions, most artwork, sculptures, and marble, a custom cardboard crate will be created on-location on the day of the move from cardboard sheets and boxes. The inside the cardboard exterior will be padded with furniture pads, white paper or bubble wrap as needed. This is the most cost effective option.

Wood Crate: Custom wood crates are the better choice for frail or high valued antiques, frail or exceptional artwork, sculptures, and items of high value, and items being shipped long distance. Custom wood crates must be custom made by our professional craftsman prior to the move.

Your moving consultant will help you to determine the safest and most cost effective way to care for your precious breakables.
