Need something not on this list? Contact us - if it needs to ship safely, we can build a crate for it.
About Argos Crating
ISPM-15 certified crating, built by hand. Based in Mississauga, Argos Crating serves Newmarket and the Highway 404 corridor with custom wooden crates for industrial equipment, medical instruments, and high-value cargo - on-site or at our facility.
Who we are
Based in Mississauga, Argos Crating serves manufacturers, equipment dealers, and businesses across Newmarket and the Highway 404 corridor. We're not a national franchise or a warehouse operation - every crate is built by craftsmen with decades of experience, from precision components to industrial equipment up to 35,000 lbs.
We cover all of Newmarket - including Stonehaven, Armitage, Glenway, Woodland Hill, Gorham-College Manor, Central Newmarket, and Holland Landing. One-time jobs and recurring commercial accounts both welcome.
Who We Work With
• Medical suppliers and healthcare businesses shipping equipment to Southlake Regional Health Centre and beyond • Manufacturers and equipment dealers along the Highway 404 corridor shipping domestically and internationally • Technology companies and electronics firms requiring ESD-safe or anti-static packaging • Fine art dealers, galleries, and auction houses shipping high-value pieces • Industrial businesses relocating machinery within the GTA or shipping nationally • Freight forwarders and logistics companies needing a reliable local crating partner
Newmarket's Healthcare and Industrial Corridor
Newmarket's Highway 404 corridor connects one of York Region's most active business communities directly to the GTA — and Southlake Regional Health Centre makes it one of the strongest healthcare shipping markets north of Toronto. Medical suppliers, equipment dealers, and manufacturers here ship precision instruments, lab equipment, and industrial goods that require proper crating to survive transit intact.
At Argos Crating, we assess each item individually — weight, fragility, temperature sensitivity, and destination all factor into the build. For Newmarket's businesses and healthcare suppliers, that means crates built to the right standard, on your timeline.

Design & Planning
Once approved, we design a crate specifically for your item’s dimensions, weight, fragility, and transport requirements. If necessary, we’ll come to you to assess the item in person.
