Engine Shipping Crate (where To Buy)

[elrodeo666]

Dont know if anyone can help me or point me int the right direction but I'm chasing a shipping crate for an engine block that I'm sending to Japan..

Yes,yes have tried google and have got a few replies from emails but the companies I have spoke to want to sell them in bulk.

I'm after one engine shipping crate to send an engine block to Japan and then send my GT500 engine block back to OZ.

Crate can be wood or metal box but must conform to Australia and Japanese quarantine standards. Basically world wide shipping crate.

I'm not after a pallet but proper engine crate that the block can be packed up and sealed (nailed shut).

While I'm at it also one for a gearbox as have one sitting at Auto Gallery Yokohama ready to get sent to oz.

Any info, much appreciated

Dont know if this is best spot for this so if not can mods move it

Pretty sure t cant be wood unlless you want to have it fumigated. I would get some plastic pallets and fab something up

Got carpentry skills?

I have 15x pallets at the front of my place after I'd built a retaining wall. I keep calling Boral to pick them up, and they don't come!

Terry, tell them you've got 40 pallets and they will come. Im a builder and we get rid of pallets that are left over after the site is cleaned is if we 'exaggerate' how many pallets we have. Works every time.

What sort of pallets Terry? If they are "Chep" or "Loscam" pallets.. Willl be sprayed on the side of the pallet. They are worth some $$$.. If they are scrap cheap looking pallets, yeah just exaggerate..

Hiya Craig,

About half of them are hardwood because I've dragged them across the road onto a wide council strip & they're damn heavy.

The other half are still well constructed but quite a deal lighter.

They all have BORAL 1300 ****** printed on the side > called them 3x to no avail.

Once I realised how heavy half of them were, I was tempted to drag them up the driveway, chained to the back of the Forester;

...but then I knew I'd be tempted to go a further Km to the highway at 3am and dump them there > let 'Accident Research' officers call Boral lol

I was thinking the same thing gimps haha.

Loscams and cheps are worth heaps.
