Summer 2024 is winding down. It's been a fun summer for the business doing 100+ taxidermy crates, countless TV's, airplane wings, liquidating a warehouse, and lots of appliance installs and some swing sets.

McKinley Crating builds custom crates for just about anything like motorcycles, taxidermy mounts & artwork. Servicing Alaska.

A fun project we're doing

07/01/2023

We've taken to a new level. A Japanese logistics company hired us to a turret from an excavator- which will ship on top of an ocean container to Japan. It weighs about 15000lbs. I had a giant metal skid built, then the turret was shrink wrapped, crated and secured to the skid, then that was secured to a 40' skid. The trailer will be taken off the chassis and secured on top of a container on the ship. We normally build crates from wood, but international shipping has very strict wood guidelines and this weighed so much we had to use metal. Thankfully I found a great outfit to fabricate and secure it all, I just had to coordinate everything and buy all the parts from lower 48 (which, if you ever have to ship heavy items in a hurry, Gold Steak on Alaska airlines was very affordable compared to other carriers). Learned a lot on this project.
Thank you , , and

McKinley Crating is in search of a sub contractor:
McKinley Crating is a third party moving service based in Anchorage. The job entails going to residences and businesses to prep items for moves at origin or reset up at destination.

Examples include:

Custom crate building for artwork, TV's taxidermy, assembly and disassembly of exercise equipment and appliances, furniture, etc. Anything the movers don't want to do, we do. We don't do the loading/ unloading of the trucks. We aren't movers. We are more the technical experts of expensive goods.

This job is for a sub contractor. You can expect summer to be super busy. We're slower from November- March though not completely dead. You'd have flexibility to do the jobs during the day and evening. Pay is based on an agreed upon rate schedule. There is no guaranteed work/ hours/ income, as we are driven by customer orders. The more orders we get the more you make. You would be required to use your own truck, tools, insurance and employees if needed. Pay is definitely enough to make it well worth it.

Job Type: Contract
