Format · 1m³ & 2m³ Crates
Wholesale firewood in 1m³ and 2m³ hardwood crates.
Crates are the workhorse format of the European firewood trade — forklift-friendly, easy to price by volume, easy to resell straight from the yard. We supply 1m³ and 2m³ kiln-dried hardwood crates in birch, oak, ash and mixed species, full-load 40ft containers direct from Latvia.
1m³ class
A compact wholesale format for merchant yards and garden centres; exact outer dimensions are confirmed in the offer.
2m³ class
A larger crate option for buyers prioritising volume per handling unit.
Built to specification
Species, moisture, log dimensions, crate construction and records are agreed for the order.
Why the trade prefers crates
A crate is a single SKU, priced by volume, moved by a single forklift. That is why crates have become the default format for European merchants — one lift off the container, one place in the yard, one price on the ticket.
For customers, the crate itself becomes a display: an intact wall of split hardwood at the front of the yard sells more logs than any sign. Merchants often invoice by the crate direct to trade and private buyers.
1m³ vs 2m³ — which fits your operation
1m³ crates are the easier retail unit — they fit through most yard gates, sit neatly on garden-centre forecourts, and are the right size for a household order.
2m³ crates double the wood per lift and per stack footprint. They are the better economics for busy merchants, wholesale-to-trade buyers, and anyone with forklift access and a hard-standing yard.
Most containers ship a mix of both, plus retail bags and kindling, in a single 40ft load.
Species available in crates
Birch, oak, ash, alder, and hardwood mix. Single-species crates for buyers with clear product tiers; mixed hardwood crates for buyers who prefer one product code across their range.
Frequently asked

Kiln-dried hardwood at sub-20% moisture weighs about 450–550 kg per stacked m³, depending on species. Birch and alder sit at the lower end, oak and ash at the upper end.
How many crates fit in a transport load?+
Final quantity depends on the confirmed external dimensions, species weight, vehicle limits and transport method.

Yes. Include handling, display and unloading requirements so the crate specification can be agreed before production.
