Expert Assessments for Safe, Efficient Packing Solutions
Accurate packaging starts with a proper assessment. Trojan Crates provides On Site Surveys to review your equipment, transport requirements, and handling conditions before any packing solution is designed.
Our experienced team inspects dimensions, lifting points, weight distribution and access routes to determine the correct crate design and internal packaging. The most important part of any protective case is the packaging inside it, so every survey focuses on protecting your equipment during transit. Enquire today to arrange an On Site Survey.
Tailored On Site Surveys
Each survey is tailored to the specific equipment, location, and transport requirements, ensuring the most effective packing solution is planned before any work begins.

On Site Surveys FAQs
An on-site survey is a visit to your premises where our team assesses your equipment, packaging requirements, and logistics environment. This allows us to design the most effective crating and packing solution tailored to your exact needs.
An on-site survey ensures nothing is left to guesswork. It helps identify potential risks, space constraints, handling requirements, and compliance needs before packing begins—reducing the chance of delays, damage, or costly errors.
Our team will measure your items, assess weight and handling needs, review transport methods, and identify any special requirements such as export compliance or protective packaging. We’ll then recommend the most suitable solution.
Most surveys can be completed within a few hours, depending on the size and complexity of your equipment or project. Larger or multi-item jobs may require more time to ensure full accuracy.
Yes. Following the survey, we provide clear recommendations including crate design, materials, packing methods, and any compliance requirements. This ensures your shipment is fully prepared for safe transit.
Absolutely. The survey is often the first step in a full-service solution. Once complete, we can manufacture your crates and carry out professional on-site packing to ensure everything is handled correctly.
Not always—but it is highly recommended for large, complex, fragile, or high-value items. For standard shipments, we can often work from dimensions and specifications provided remotely.
