Central Texas's Premier White-Glove Specialty Shipping Experts
Founded in 2010, Austin Crate & Freight has established itself as Central Texas's most trusted specialty shipping company. We recognized the need for professional, white-glove services for high-value items — fine art, designer furniture, and sensitive medical equipment — that demand more than standard freight handling.
What started as a small custom crating operation has grown into a full-service specialty shipping company serving galleries, museums, interior designers, medical facilities, and private collectors throughout Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and beyond.
To provide museum-quality care and white-glove service for every shipment, treating each item with the attention and expertise it deserves. We're committed to protecting what matters most to you, whether it's irreplaceable artwork, luxury furnishings, or life-saving medical equipment.
Over 15 years of experience in specialty shipping with certified handlers trained in museum-standard practices, HIPAA compliance, and luxury furniture care.
Custom crating, climate-controlled transport, and comprehensive insurance coverage. Your items are protected at every stage of the journey.
Professional handling from start to finish, including disassembly, secure packing, careful transport, inside delivery, and reassembly when needed.
Based in Austin and deeply familiar with Central Texas. We understand local logistics, building access, and community needs.
Every article on the Austin Crate blog is written by the same people who pack and ship your items — experts with real, hands-on experience.
