Mission-Ready Crating Solutions, Built to Protect What Matters

Whether you’re shipping UAV systems, sensitive electronics, or high-value industrial equipment, Estrada Design & Machine delivers custom-built crates and precision-fitted foam inserts designed to withstand the real-world demands of military, aerospace, and commercial transport.

Our crating solutions aren’t off-the-shelf. They’re engineered for your exact mission — because second-best isn’t an option when the stakes are high.

Custom Crate Manufacturing

Built strong. Built smart. Built for deployment.
We design and manufacture wooden crates to meet the structural, logistical, and protective requirements of critical shipments.

Our crates are:

  • ISPM-15 compliant for export and military use

  • Engineered for stacking, shock absorption, and load-bearing performance

  • Designed to fit specific gear and components, not just generic dimensions

  • Fabricated in-house for rapid turnarounds and batch production

Whether you’re transporting drone systems, optical gear, or heavy equipment — we build the crate that gets it there intact.

Precision Foam Inserts

Protection isn’t just about the box — it’s what’s inside that counts.

Our in-house foam fabrication ensures your cargo is protected from every angle, with:

  • Custom-cut closed-cell polyethylene foam

  • Precision-fitted compartments for each component

  • Options for layering, modular design, and field-readiness

  • Shock-absorbing layouts that reduce vibration and transit risk

Every insert is cut to match your specs. Every layout is tested for real-world handling.

Deployment-Driven Design

Our crate systems are more than containers — they’re mission deployment tools. We optimize every project for:

  • Ease of unpacking and repacking

  • Mobility on-site (forklift/pallet jack compatibility)

  • Environmental durability (impact, moisture, vibration)

🛠️ Need something built around your gear?

We don’t do one-size-fits-all. We work with your specs, your deadlines, and your mission goals to create a protective solution that’s engineered to perform.
