Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Boxes
What makes your industrial boxes different from standard shipping crates?
In Alabama, local industries like steel and mining require boxes that can support immense weight. Edge Lumber Co uses true-dimension lumber and oak blocking to build crates that are structurally superior to standard retail-grade boxes. Our Precision End Trim (PET) ensures every joint fits perfectly for maximum durability.
Can you provide custom sizes for specific industrial equipment?
Yes, we specialize in custom-cut industrial boxes. We can manufacture boxes to any dimension, including large-scale blocking like 12 x 12 x 16, to accommodate unusual equipment sizes or specific shipping requirements for Alabama freight routes.
How does the Alabama climate affect the lumber used in your boxes?
Alabama's high humidity and heat can cause inferior wood to warp or shrink. Because we use full-cut industrial lumber and precision machines, our boxes maintain their shape and strength better than thinner, mass-produced alternatives, protecting your cargo during long-term storage or transit.
Can you handle large-volume orders for ongoing shipping needs?
Edge Lumber Co is equipped to handle both large-volume and ongoing repeat orders. Our facility in Adger is designed for high-capacity production, ensuring that manufacturing and logistics companies have a reliable, steady supply of industrial boxes without operational delays.
How quickly can I get my industrial boxes delivered?
Our motto is 'The only way to get lumber faster is to order it sooner.' While turnaround depends on the complexity and volume of your industrial boxes, we prioritize fast production to meet the tight schedules of Alabama's transportation and logistics sectors.
