| Corrugated Packaging: |
Corrugated packing is a durable, versatile, and lightweight material, used for custom-manufactured packaging enabling secure transportation needs.

| Custom Inner Packing: |
It’s about the interior packaging with appropriate cushioning to ensure items are secure for shipping.
Inner packing is very crucial hence the key considerations are cargo type and its dimensions, weight, fragility and the mode of transport. These measures enable us to factor the needed cushion types such as polyurethane, polyether and polystyrene foams.

| Wooden Cradle & Skids: |
Wooden Cradle: Woodpecker has comprehensive expertise for all your wooden cradle requirements, be it for transportation or storage of pipes (coated or non-coated) or for any other cylindrical objects.
A cradle is U-shaped in design, built to support and contain the unique requirements of cylindrical objects. Two or more cradles are mounted to a skid, pallet or load base; the base may or may not be covered with a sheathed enclosure,
Skids & Pallets: We ensure that every skid or pallet is designed specifically for each customer requirements. A skid differs from a pallet which is generally higher and does not have additional cross members, stringers, as support beneath the runners.
Skids are used to support the load and assist with storage, handling and transportation. They are essentially constructed to abide a proper load by using appropriate support based and providing four-way entry for forklifts or two-way entry for a pallet trolley.

| Container Lashing, Strapping and Dunnage: |
Lashing and Strapping: Woodpecker is specialized to undertake all types of lashing and securing services. Our staffs are trained and skilled to handle these operations using certified lashing material. Safety is our prime focus for all operations; hence all our on ground staff adheres to basic HSE requirements.
Dunnage: We consider usage of appropriate dunnage to secure loose freight during transportation (any mode). Dunnage can be used to keep product away from container walls, to separate products, as a void fill, to reduce shifting and to minimize abrasion.
In ocean shipping dunnage refers to packing, typically wood, used to support, block and brace cargo within a container in order to keep the cargo from moving (wood or plastic).
Our Dunnage expertise includes;
- Strapping and securing of commercial cargo for ocean, air and road transportation.
- Cargo lashing on standard 40’, 40’HC, Flat rack, Open top or break bulk shipments.
E.g.: Covering (plastic, polythene and tarpaulins) of open top and flat containers for ocean transportation in order to avoid weather exposure risk during transit.

On site packing: Our skilled staff visits the client site to measure and photograph the product(s) needing protection. Utilizing this information we create a design and produce packaging within our facility then return to client facility for final packing.
E.g.: Packaging and crating of the item(s) or freight at place of origin; such as a factory, plant, warehouse, office or third party facility.
Off Site packing: The cargo is picked (as is) without packaging and transported to our warehouse where the preparation and packaging for transportation takes place.
