Aerospace and Defense: Complex Challenges Require Sophisticated Solutions

Aerospace and defense equipment are designed with precision engineering, making them highly sensitive to external forces. Whether it’s a delicate avionics system or a multi-million-dollar satellite component, these items must be handled and shipped with the utmost care.

Key challenges in transporting aerospace equipment include:

  • Vibration Sensitivity: Prolonged exposure to vibrations can damage delicate sensors and components.
  • Compliance with Stringent Standards: Shipments often need to meet Mil-Spec or ITAR regulations, ensuring the equipment’s safety and security.
  • Environmental Protection: Aerospace parts require protection against moisture, dust, and temperature extremes.
  • Global Reach: Many aerospace components must travel internationally, necessitating crating solutions that meet ISPM 15 export requirements.

At Crating Technology, we understand the unique demands of Arizona’s aerospace and defense industries. Our advanced crating solutions are designed to address these challenges while ensuring compliance and reliability.

Shock-Mount Crates: Engineered for Precision and Safety

Shock-mount crates are an essential tool in the aerospace and defense sectors, providing unparalleled protection for vibration-sensitive equipment.
