Heavy Duty Skid Packaging Services in India
Custom-engineered wooden skids for machinery, industrial equipment, and fragile high-value goods. ISPM-15 certified, forklift-ready, and load-tested up to 20,000+ kg. Pan-India on-site service.
What is Heavy Duty Skid Packaging?
Heavy duty skid packaging is a specialized method of securing heavy or oversized equipment onto a custom-built wooden or metal platform (called a skid) that can be safely lifted by forklifts, pallet jacks, or cranes. It is the industry standard for shipping industrial machinery, CNC machines, generators, and fragile high-value equipment.
Unlike full crating, skid packaging exposes the equipment on top while providing a stable, load-bearing base that can handle extreme weights. This makes it cost-effective, lighter, and easier to inspect — while still delivering superior protection during transit.
At Puniyo, we build custom skids for loads ranging from 500 kg to over 20,000 kg. Every skid is designed based on your equipment's dimensions, weight distribution, and shipping method, and is load-tested before equipment mounting.
Why Choose Heavy Duty Skid Packaging?
Superior Impact Protection
Custom-built wooden skids absorb shock and vibration during transit, protecting high-value machinery from damage.
Export-Grade Compliance
ISPM-15 certified heat-treated wood meets international shipping standards for sea and air freight.
Forklift & Crane Ready
Engineered with reinforced base runners for safe handling by forklifts, pallet jacks, and cranes.
Custom Load Capacity
Skids designed for 500 kg to 20,000+ kg loads with load-bearing calculations based on your equipment.
Moisture & Corrosion Barrier
Optional VCI films, desiccants, and moisture barriers keep your equipment rust-free during long transit.
Cost-Effective vs Crating
Skid packaging costs 30-50% less than full wooden crating while delivering comparable protection.
How Our Skid Packaging Process Works
Site Survey & Load Assessment
Our engineers visit your site to assess equipment dimensions, center of gravity, weight distribution, and shipping method.
Custom Skid Design
We design skid dimensions, load-bearing runners, and reinforcement based on equipment weight and handling requirements.
Wood Selection & Treatment
Only ISPM-15 heat-treated wood is used for export shipments. Domestic shipments use high-grade seasoned hardwood.
Skid Fabrication
Skids are assembled with bolts, lag screws, and heavy-duty fasteners. Load capacity is verified before loading.
Equipment Mounting
Equipment is centered, secured with bolts, straps, and load locks. Base is padded to prevent abrasion.
Shrink Wrap & Protection
Final layer includes stretch wrap, VCI film, and weatherproof cover. Labels and handling instructions applied.
