Columbus, Ohio
Custom crating and freight for high-value cargo in Columbus.
From semiconductor tooling and data-center hardware to research instruments and production machinery — VeloCrate engineers crates around Columbus’s most fragile, oversized, and high-value shipments. Most crates built in days, not weeks — on-site or at our facility.
Why Columbus
Built for the way Columbus ships.
Columbus is Central Ohio’s distribution engine — and now a fast-growing hub for semiconductors, data centers, and research. That means a lot of what leaves local docks is clean, sensitive, and expensive: fab tooling, server racks, lab and imaging equipment, and prototype hardware that can’t take a shock or a static hit.
We engineer crating and packaging around those exact loads — ESD-aware, cushioned, and documented — and we’re right here in the Columbus area, so most jobs get a same-day site visit. Minutes from John Glenn Columbus International (CMH) air cargo when a shipment has to fly.

Local & Independent
The people who quote your job are the ones who build it.
Locally owned and operated. One shop, one team, one point of contact — no territory routing, no corporate approval chain. You get a number fast, and the crate gets built right here. We know Columbus’s industries, routes, and deadlines because this is our backyard. It is also why we can turn most crates around in days: nothing gets brokered out, and the person who quoted it is the one at the saw.
One point of contact
The same team from quote to delivery.
No corporate chain
No territory routing, no approval layers — decisions made here.
We know the region
The plants, the lanes, the airports, and the deadlines that matter here.
PROTECTED PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY.
Carrier liability pays by the pound — often pennies on the dollar for high-value equipment. We offer full declared-value coverage options, so a six-figure machine is protected for what it’s actually worth, not what it weighs.
