Crating
Popeye is committed to providing crating when required. Crating is a logical solution for transporting items such as fine art and sculptures, mirrors, glass or marble tops, chandeliers, antiques and taxidermy, trophies and statues. Some objects cannot be safely packed and transported without being crated on-site. With proper planning, your moving team will arrive fully equipped for on-site construction and assembly of crates for these delicate or large objects.
Your estimator will guide you through The Popeye Process of crate-building and help you determine when it is necessary. Your estimator will customize a crating plan to suit your needs. Whether your crated belongings are being transported locally, long-distance or being prepared for international shipment, we have a plan to suit you.
