A Major International Valve Company needed a trusted partner to design and build an extensive range of custom pallets and cribbing systems to support the worldwide shipment of large, heavy industrial valves—often under extremely tight deadlines. Their products ranged from small valve components to massive 30,000-pound valves up to 20 feet long, each requiring uniquely engineered support.
Since 1982, we’ve partnered with the Major International Valve Company to produce over 150 distinct custom pallets and cribbing designs using a combination of hardwoods and Southern Yellow Pine. These include heavy-duty valve pallets, bolted timber platforms, custom timber cradles, boxes, cribbing lumber, and flange protectors up to 54” in diameter.
When tasked with shipping large valves up to 240 inches long, we incorporated specially cut cradles and bolted timber structures to handle extreme loads. These pallets are engineered for handling by massive forklifts and cranes from multiple angles, ensuring safe delivery from the production floor to the global job site. On-site visits with the Major International Valve Company engineers ensure every load-bearing spec is accounted for. We also maintain an inventory of frequently used designs to meet their need for rapid delivery.
The Major International Valve Company, a leader in industrial valve manufacturing, has relied on us for over four decades. Their complex logistics and engineering-driven requirements make every job a challenge—and an exciting opportunity for us to deliver precision and performance.
