Open Top & Flat Rack Containers

World Trade Distribution can handle your routine loading of out-of-gauge cargo for both open tops and flat racks. Each project undergoes a detailed study before being loaded in order to maximize the load and analyze the best use of equipment. Services such as project consolidations and export preparation are also available.

Pipe Handling Techniques

World Trade Distribution utilizes a proprietary method to containerize chrome-plated pipes into standard containers, onto flat racks or into open tops with maximum efficiency. Our custom racks and strategically placed air cushions offer stability and protection from scratches and other damage during transit, loading and unloading. We can also containerize pipe in roll-on, roll-off bundles for easy unloading.

Crating

Crating is the key to successful shipping. World Trade Distribution builds crates as large as a small house or as small and sensitive as a window frame. Our crating and packing services offer superior protection and cost efficiency. World Trade Distribution designs crates based on sensitivity and weight of the freight, ensuring they are strong enough to support a like crate stacked on top. We use the best materials including twist nails and heat treated wood. Vacuum pack and moisture proofing are also available. During the crating process, all cargo is secured and labeled inside the crate and on each of the four external sides. This allows for accessibility by customs agents and ability to safely re-secure.
