Off-the-shelf boxes don’t protect a $200,000 instrument. NCS Moving Services builds crates in-house at our Oakland warehouse — measured to the piece, engineered for the trip, and built to ISPM-15 when the shipment is leaving the country. Serving the Bay Area since 1994.

We build our crates ourselves. That means a crate sized to your actual equipment rather than to a catalog, interior blocking and bracing that holds the piece where it belongs, and turnaround that isn’t waiting on an outside vendor’s queue. Fragile, awkward, heavy, and high-value all get handled differently, and building in-house is what lets us do that.
For shipments leaving the United States, we build to ISPM-15, the international standard for wood packaging, so your crate clears customs instead of sitting at a port. Domestic or export, the same crew that crates it can pick it up, and our certifications cover commercial, government, and public-sector work.

If it’s fragile, irreplaceable, oddly shaped, or heavy enough to need engineering rather than tape, it needs a crate built for it.
