Wooden Shipping Saddles and Cradles

Fox Valley Wood Products (FVWP) is a leading manufacturer of wood saddles and wooden cradles in addition to our other wood packaging and shipping solutions. As a family-owned business, we understand how diligently protecting your products during shipping directly correlates to your profit margins. When it comes to wood shipping, FVWP is second-to-none.

What are Wood Shipping Saddles?

Wood saddles are customized, curved wooden support structures used to secure and protect large and/or heavy items, usually of cylinder variety, during shipping. Designed to snugly cradle the item in order to prevent shifting or sliding during transit, shipping saddles are the ideal solution for tanks, vessels and other commonly milled or converted products.

FVWP also produces roll cradles which use a framework of lumber and or wood timbers to provide support for large cylinders, vessels, piping and tanks. Our products offer the support and protection required for safe transit.

Customized Wooden Saddles

Regardless of the size or weight of your product, FVWP will make crates, saddles and the packaging support you need to make your shipment more secure. Whichever type of wooden cradles you need, we can help.

We haven’t met a custom challenge we couldn’t conquer. Explore our customizations.

We have always experienced exceptional quality, as well as top customer service. We are always asking for 'next day' and many times even 'same day' service, and they ALWAYS meet or exceed our expectations. The people at Fox Valley Wood Products are very helpful. They even come here to our shop to look at various projects and offer better crating ideas on certain parts we are shipping. Jeff and his staff are a great company to do business with and it has been a pleasure working with them.

Mark Dennis - Shop Foreman/Owner

It has been a joy to work with Fox Valley Wood Products for the past 15 years. Our company manufactures products that vary in size, weight and destination. The crates we order are job specific to a particular part. Meeting our needs has never been an issue for Fox Valley Wood Products. They always supply us with the right product for the job. Prior to partnering with Fox Valley Wood Products we used to fabricate our own crates and machine skids in house. The quality, innovation and speed in which Fox Valley Wood Products fulfills our requests has enabled us to incorporate LEAN principles by eliminating that department (and headache) from our business altogether. Everyone that I have dealt with at Fox Valley Wood Products has been courteous and professional since day one.

I have been working with Fox Valley Wood Products for the past 4 or 5 years. They continually meet are our needs as far as quality and on time delivery. There have been many occasions, which we have had a change in our production and have needed product from Fox Valley Wood Products within a day or two. They have always come through for us. Our company has an award for our vendors that we are able to nominate due to performance. Fox Valley Wood has been the recipients of this award. I know that I can count on Jeff and his team for any of our requests, and I have been more than happy with their performance.

Fox Valley Wood Products has supplied pallets and other materials needed for both shipping paper or securing our loads for many years. Whether it is a standard pallet or a special pallet that needs to cradle, yet secures a roll of paper Fox Valley Wood Products finds a way to help you out.

 For US Paper, space in the warehouse is always at a premium. Fox Valley manufactures and maintains inventory at their location and delivers on a 'just in time basis'. With this set up most orders are placed with a one day lead time. There have been cases when shipments are made the same day when the need arises.

Many orders on our paper machines are entered with no thought of what pallet is needed. Fox Valley Wood Products has made this possible with the inventory levels they maintain and the delivery service they provide.
