Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the price of industrial wooden skids in Mumbai and Pune?
The price of industrial wooden skids in Mumbai and Pune depends on the size, timber thickness, type of wood (such as imported pine wood or local jungle hardwood), and customization features like pre-drilled anchor holes or steel brackets. Please share your engineering drawings with Europack for a custom quote.
Q: What is the difference between a wooden skid and a wooden pallet?
A pallet has both top and bottom deck boards, which is ideal for racking and stacking. A skid has only a top deck (or no deck boards, just runners), allowing it to be dragged across floors. It is designed for bolting heavy machinery directly to the base.
Q: Do wooden skids require ISPM-15 certification for export?
Yes. All raw wood packaging, including wooden skids, must be heat-treated (HT) and carry the official IPPC stamp to be accepted for international export. Plywood or engineered wood skids are exempt.
Q: How much load can a Europack machinery skid support?
Our standard wooden skids support loads from 1,000 kg to 15,000 kg. For heavy engineering applications, we design reinforced hardwood and steel-reinforced skids that can support equipment weighing up to 100 tons.
Q: How do you secure heavy machinery to a wooden skid?
The machinery is secured using high-tensile steel bolts that pass through pre-drilled holes in the structural timber skids. We also use steel brackets, timber blocks, and lashing belts to secure the cargo.
Q: Can you manufacture wooden skids in custom sizes?
Yes. Europack specializes in custom sizes. Our engineering team can work with your machinery drawings to design and build skids matching your equipment's weight distribution, lifting points, and mounting base.
Q: Which wood is better for heavy industrial skids: Pine or Hardwood?
For heavy machinery (over 5 tons), local jungle hardwood is superior because of its density and high bending resistance. For light to medium machinery and export cargo, imported pine wood is preferred as it reduces tare weight.
Q: Do you offer on-site machinery mounting and skid assembly?
Yes. Europack has mobile packaging teams that can visit your factory or site in Mumbai, Pune, Thane, and Gujarat to assemble the skids, mount the machinery, secure it with bolts, and apply vacuum packaging.
Q: How does Europack prevent skids from rotting or molding during sea transit?
We kiln-dry our timber to keep moisture content below 18% before manufacturing. This prevents mold and wood decay during long ocean transit. We also offer waterproof base coatings and plastic linings for additional protection.
Q: How can I check if a wooden skid complies with export rules?
Every compliant skid is stamped with the IPPC logo, the country code (IN), our unique registration number, and the treatment method (HT). We also issue a phytosanitary heat treatment certificate for your logistics documents.
