Timber Cradles & Supports
Timber cradles and supports hold heavy, irregular or delicate equipment securely during storage and transit. Built to match the exact footprint of the item, they prevent movement, spread load weight and provide stable support during handling by forklift or crane.
Correct internal packaging is what protects the equipment. Timber cradles can be combined with foam, blocking or reinforced bases to secure items in place and absorb movement throughout transport by road, sea or air.
