Dayton, Ohio
CRATING BUILT FOR DAYTON’S AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE CARGO.
Sensitive instruments, one-of-a-kind builds, and defense equipment that can’t take a hit — VeloCrate engineers foam-cradled, shock-mounted crates and handles the documentation Dayton’s aerospace and defense suppliers expect.
Why Dayton
BUILT FOR AEROSPACE, DEFENSE, AND PRECISION WORK.
Dayton runs on aerospace research, defense contracting, and advanced automation — Wright-Patterson’s orbit shapes a lot of what ships here. That means fragile instruments, prototype hardware, and controlled equipment where a single mishandle is a six-figure problem.
We spec foam-cradled, shock-mounted, vibration-controlled crates, handle the chain-of-custody documentation defense suppliers require, and build ISPM-15 export crates for overseas programs. About an hour up I-70 from our shop, so Dayton jobs get a same- or next-day site visit.

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.
