How It Works
How Your Machine Gets From Our Floor to the Port
Received and Inspected
We receive your equipment at our warehouse near Pearson, inspect it and log its condition with photos.
Crated and Preserved
Blocking, bracing and custom skids, VCI and barrier-film moisture protection, and stamped ISPM-15 crating, built on your floor or in our warehouse.
Documented and Cleared
Export packing lists, ISPM-15 and customs paperwork for your broker, and container load plans for air, ocean or road, so nothing sits at the border.
Shipped and Tracked to Port
Trucked to the port or terminal on our own trailers and handed off for ocean or air freight, with condition reports through WrightPlan.
Our Facilities
A Warehouse Built for Export Crating
A 50,000 sq ft warehouse near Pearson with full transloading capabilities for heavy, oversized freight, plus in-house forklifts handling up to 160,000 lbs. and a 600-ton gantry, so we crate and handle machines far past what a distribution centre can lift. We build on your floor or ours, and one project manager owns the shipment end to end.

You Should Not Have to Explain Your Equipment
