Valley Box builds custom wood crates for aerospace companies in San Diego and across Southern California.
We serve manufacturers, suppliers, and contractors who ship sensitive, high-value, and oversized aerospace equipment. Every crate is engineered to fit the part and the journey, from flight hardware to ground support equipment.
Precision crating since 1965
Custom aerospace crates are engineered around your part, your load, and the conditions it will face in transit. We start with your specs or a 3D file and design the crate to protect what matters most.
Common features for aerospace shipments include:
- Custom blocking and bracing for a precise fit
- Shock and vibration cushioning
- Moisture barriers and desiccant options
- Foam-lined and cradled interiors
Engines, propulsion components, and large assemblies need a base built to carry the weight. Our heavy-duty crates are designed for both domestic and international shipments of 700 lbs up to 10,000 lbs.
Built for demanding loads:
- Reinforced and skidded bases
- Steel reinforcement available
- Forklift and crane-ready designs
- Balanced load paths for heavy parts
When a part cannot wait on the ground, speed matters. We prioritize aircraft-on-ground shipments and build to your timeline, with on-site packing available across San Diego.
Built for urgency:
- Priority scheduling for AOG needs
- On-site evaluation and packing
- Reusable crate options for recurring parts
- Fast local turnaround
