At Grey Bruce Tree Workers, we specialize in custom cribbing and dunnage solutions tailored for construction, heavy equipment, manufacturing, and transportation. We’re a hands-on, local business that takes pride in delivering high-quality, job-ready wood products without the excessive wait times or bulk requirements of large-scale suppliers. Whether you need stabilization blocks, load-bearing cribbing, or dunnage for secure transport, we provide custom-cut orders with a fast turnaround to meet your exact specifications.
What is Cribbing & Dunnage?
Cribbing and dunnage are essential wood supports used in construction, shipping, heavy equipment operations, and industrial storage. While they serve similar purposes, there are key differences:
Cribbing – Stacked or interlocked wood blocks designed to stabilize equipment, machinery, or loads. Commonly used on job sites, under cranes, lifts, and jacks. Our cribbing is left outdoors to naturally dry, ensuring it remains strong, stable, and resistant to sudden compression under load.
Dunnage – Wood supports primarily used for securing cargo during transport or stacking heavy materials in storage. It provides spacing and weight distribution for shipping loads. Dunnage doesn’t need to be fully dried but should maintain integrity under weight—our process allows for just the right balance.
We offer hardwood and softwood options, cut to size based on your specific application.

Why Our Cribbing & Dunnage Stands Out
✅ Custom-Cut for Your Needs – We cut to your exact size requirements, from small stabilization blocks to full-length transport dunnage.
✅ No Bulk Minimums – Need a few pieces for a small job? Need a large custom order? We accommodate both.
✅ Fast Turnaround Times – We process orders quickly, ensuring your materials arrive job-site ready.
✅ Properly Seasoned & Naturally Air-Dried – All our cribbing and dunnage is stored outdoors, which keeps it stable, seasoned naturally, and free from excessive moisture that could compromise its integrity. Unlike kiln-dried wood, our materials maintain structural strength while resisting sudden weight shifts.
✅ Locally Sourced Ontario Timber – We use hardwoods and softwoods from sustainable local sources, keeping costs fair.
✅ Serving Midwestern Ontario – We deliver across Grey, Bruce, and Huron counties, and surrounding areas.
Our goal is simple: provide durable, properly cut cribbing and dunnage without delays or unnecessary bulk costs. Whether you’re a contractor, heavy equipment operator, manufacturer, or logistics company, we’ll make sure you have the right support materials to get the job done safely and efficiently.
