Purpose-Built Pallets & Skids
Custom Support Structures in Las Vegas
Crates of Las Vegas builds custom pallets and skids in Las Vegas for heavy-duty, oversized, and high-value shipments. Whether you’re moving industrial machinery, manufacturing equipment, trade-show components, or specialized freight, our designs protect your load through transport, storage, and export. Unlike off-the-shelf pallets, our custom solutions are engineered around your cargo to ensure correct load distribution, safe forklift access, and long-term structural integrity—locally, cross-country, or overseas.
ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH
What Are Custom Pallets & Skids?
Custom pallets and skids are purpose-built bases that stabilize and support equipment or freight during handling and transit. Pallets often provide four-way forklift access, while skids are commonly built for two-way access and suit heavier or stationary export loads.
Designed Around Your Needs:
- Exact length, width, and height measurements
- Item weight and center of gravity
- Transport method (LTL, FTL, flatbed, ocean, air)
- Storage and stacking requirements
- Forklift and pallet jack entry points
Custom Pallet & Skid Design Process
1. Review Dimensions & Weight
We assess size, weight, and load points to start the design.
2. Determine Handling Requirements
We specify forklift access, rigging points, and the best transport method.
3. Engineer the Base
Beam sizes, deck thickness, runners, and reinforcements are chosen for the load.
4. Build or Assemble On-Site
We fabricate in-shop or assemble directly at your location when needed.
5. Final Quality Check
Each unit is inspected to confirm stability, compliance, and shipment readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in custom pallets and skids?
Custom pallets and skids can be made from wood, plastic, or metal. Wood is the most common because it’s strong, widely available, and cost-effective. For heavier loads, we may add reinforced wood or metal parts for extra durability. Material choice depends on load, environment, and intended use.
How do I determine the right size for my custom pallet or skid?
Start with the item’s length, width, and height, then factor in weight and center of gravity to ensure even load distribution. Also consider handling needs—forklift entry, rigging points, and stacking. Sharing these details with us lets our team design a pallet or skid to your exact specs.
What is ISPM-15, and why is it important for shipping?
ISPM-15 is an international standard that requires heat treatment for wood packaging to prevent the spread of pests. Pallets and skids that meet ISPM-15 are stamped to show compliance, helping ensure smooth customs clearance and reducing the chance of shipment rejection for international shipments.
How long does it take to receive a custom pallet or skid?
Lead time varies with design complexity, materials, and current workload. Typical orders can take a few days up to a couple of weeks. For urgent needs or large runs, expedited options may be available—discuss your timeline when you request a quote.
