Built Strong to Protect What Matters

You need more than bubble wrap when you're moving artwork, antiques, or commercial equipment through Williamstown. John and Sons Moving builds custom wood crates using reinforced materials and precise measurements to keep fragile and high-value items secure from the first mile to the last. Each crate is constructed to handle the specific shape, weight, and vulnerability of what you're protecting.

When you book this service, the crew begins by measuring each item and assessing its material composition, weight distribution, and fragility level. You'll receive guidance on the type of crate required, whether it's a fully enclosed box with foam inserts or an open-frame structure for larger equipment that needs ventilation during transport.

John and Sons Moving uses skill and craftsmanship to construct protective enclosures on-site or at the facility, depending on the item's size. Reinforced corners, interior bracing, and moisture-resistant wood ensure your belongings stay intact during handling and road vibrations. Each crate is labeled clearly with handling instructions.

Once the crate is sealed, it's loaded using equipment designed to support its weight without shifting. The team secures it in the truck with straps and padding, preventing movement during curves, stops, and uneven roads.
