I need a strong, reliable carpenter or experienced crate builder to help construct a custom shipping crate.
We’ll be using a heat-treated 72" × 48" pallet (which we have at the warehouse )(cut down to ~60" long for a tighter fit). Finished crate size will be approximately 50" H × 52" W × 62" L, and must be forklift-ready with 4-way access.
Job Details:
Build reinforced base on pallet (supports >3100 lbs).
Install 2×4 framing with cross bracing.
Attach ¾" plywood walls and top.
Add interior foam blocking and padding.
Help secure the sculpture to the crate with ratchet straps/blocks.
What I Provide:
All lumber, plywood, pallet, hardware, and supplies.
Pallet will be onsite ready to go.
What You Provide:
Tools, skill, and strength to build a strong, safe crate.
Experience with carpentry, crating, or heavy shipping preferred.
Location: Burlingame, CA
Compensation negotiable
If you’ve built shipping crates, pallets, or heavy-duty wood structures before, I’d love to hear from you. Please reply with your experience, availability, and rates.
