U-Loc Tool-Free Crating

Tool-Free Crate Assembly

The U-Loc 200 crating system is a game-changer for businesses focused on safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Its design allows for tool-free assembly and disassembly, eliminating injuries from dangerous nail or staple guns and speeding up assembly. This easy setup and tear-down make it perfect for operations needing flexible, reusable crates that save time and resources while providing secure packaging. Its reusable fasteners and open-style design are ideal for frequent handling and transport. The ergonomic, hand-applied fasteners further enhance operational efficiency without sacrificing safety.
The U-Loc 100 features durable steel fasteners with an interlocking fit for a closed-style crating option. It offers the same tool-free, hand-applied convenience for secure packaging.

Type and styles available:

  • The U-Loc 100 is a fully enclosed crating system designed to transport fragile components across state lines or the world. Customization options include side panel ramps, hinged doors, removable slats, eye bolt tie-downs, and more.
  • The U-Loc 200 is an open-style crating system featuring the industry's first tool-free crate connector. With a block-style base for 4-way forklift access, it offers the same flexibility and full customization options as our other products.
