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."
