Protecting Agricultural Machinery with Custom Timber Packaging
Why Safe Packaging Matters for Agricultural Machinery
Agricultural machinery is a big investment for farmers and agribusinesses. Tractors, harvesters, ploughs, and other heavy equipment are essential tools that keep farms running smoothly. Because these machines are often expensive and built to last, it is very important to protect them properly during storage and transportation. Damage or wear caused by poor packaging can lead to costly repairs, downtime, and lost productivity.
At Rowlinson Packaging Ltd, we have over 50 years of experience in providing timber packaging solutions that meet the needs of many industries. Over time, we have developed a strong understanding of the specific challenges faced by the agricultural sector. This allows us to create packaging that is not only durable and effective but also designed to handle the size, weight, and shape of agricultural machinery and parts.

Bespoke Timber Packaging Designed for Your Machinery
One of the key strengths of Rowlinson Packaging is our ability to offer bespoke, or custom made, timber packaging. Agricultural machinery comes in many shapes and sizes, and a one size fits all approach simply does not work. Whether you need packaging for a full sized tractor, a combine harvester, or smaller parts like plough blades or engine components, we can design packaging to fit perfectly.
Our design team uses advanced SolidWorks CAD software, which allows us to build detailed digital models of your packaging before production. This means we can create crates, pallets, and containers tailored to your equipment’s exact measurements. This custom fit ensures that your machinery is supported firmly and securely, reducing movement and preventing damage during transport or storage. This precise design also helps improve efficiency when loading and unloading. Well fitting packaging makes handling equipment easier and safer, saving time and reducing the risk of accidents or damage.


Strong, Sustainable Materials You Can Trust
Rowlinson Packaging prides itself on using only high quality timber sourced responsibly from sustainable forests. This means the wood is harvested in a way that protects the environment and supports forest renewal. Timber is a natural, renewable resource that can be reused or recycled after use, making it an environmentally friendly choice compared to many other packaging materials.
Using sturdy timber is especially important when packaging heavy agricultural machinery. Our timber packaging is built to support large weights and resist the stresses of transportation. This ensures that even the heaviest equipment stays safe from shocks, vibrations, or impacts.
We also hold ISO 14001 certification for environmental management. This shows our commitment to reducing waste and lowering the environmental impact of our operations. Choosing Rowlinson Packaging means you are working with a company that values sustainability and cares about protecting natural resources.

Packaging That Meets International Standards
If your agricultural machinery needs to be shipped internationally, it is vital that the packaging complies with global regulations. Many countries have strict rules to prevent the spread of pests and diseases through wood packaging materials.
Rowlinson Packaging ensures that all timber packaging meets the ISPM15 standard. This means the timber is heat treated and marked according to international guidelines, allowing it to be safely transported across borders without quarantine delays or rejections.
By meeting ISPM15 and other regulatory requirements, we help your business avoid costly customs problems and keep shipments moving smoothly. Whether your equipment is shipped by road, sea, or air, you can trust our packaging to meet the legal requirements of your destination country.
A Range of Packaging Solutions for Different Needs
At Rowlinson Packaging, we understand that agricultural machinery and its parts have a variety of packaging needs beyond just traditional crates. To cover these different requirements, we offer a wide selection of timber packaging products.
For example, shock pallets are designed to absorb vibrations and impacts during transportation. These pallets provide extra cushioning to protect sensitive components that might be damaged by rough handling or bumpy roads.
For long term storage or warehouse use, we offer timber containers that keep equipment secure and protected from dust, moisture, and accidental damage. These containers can be customized to your storage space and specific machinery dimensions.
Whether you need packaging for full machines, replacement parts, or tools, we can tailor a solution that fits your needs.
