Testimonials
Hear from our satisfied clients who have experienced the Argos Crating difference firsthand
Michael Ledakhovich
Logistics Coordinator at Boston Industries
(Medical Equipment)
"We contracted Argos Crating to handle the retrieval and crating of a high-value incubator system from an auction in Montreal. The unit weighed approximately one ton and featured a fragile front interface that required special handling. Argos managed the pickup and transported the equipment to their partner warehouse, where they built a fully custom crate with internal insulation. Following strict requirements, the crate was assembled using only screws — no nails — to minimize vibration and maintain structural integrity. A separate desktop PC was packed and shipped independently, and the USB component containing software drivers was mailed securely to our headquarters. The level of care, precision, and responsiveness shown throughout this process was unmatched. From logistics to build quality, they executed everything flawlessly."

"We hired Argos Crating to pack and crate aircraft parts in our clients warehouse at Muskoka airport. Initially, we contacted them from Florida to confirm they could meet our timeline and handling requirements. They came out for an on-site visit, measured everything, and together we planned the job. The following week, their team returned with roughly 30 crates and completed the on-site crating efficiently with strong build quality and careful packaging. When our plans changed and we needed additional crates, Argos responded quickly, delivered the extra crates the next week, and finished the project without delays. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with"
