Services
Custom Wooden Cases
Bespoke six-sided wooden cases provide complete dust, impact, and weatherproofing for high-value cargo. Engineered with hardwood bearers and galvanised steel brackets, these cases meet ISPM15 standards for international shipping. Ideal for defence electronics, museum exhibits, and sensitive machinery requiring full enclosure protection during global transit.
Industrial Shrink Wrapping
Onsite or in-yard shrinkwrapping with VCI films creates a protective barrier against UV, rain, and salt spray. This solution prevents metal corrosion for up to 24 months during storage or sea freight. Combines durability with cost-effectiveness for large equipment and industrial components requiring long-term environmental protection during transportation.
Solid Top Platforms
Heavy-duty skids and solid top platforms with engineered bearers support machinery and mining infrastructure during transit. Designed for stability rather than full enclosure, these solutions prioritise load-bearing capacity and ease of lifting. Commonly used for robust items needing secure transportation without full-case protection.
Galvanised Steel Brackets
Five-corner impact-resistant steel brackets reinforce crate durability at critical stress points. Cost-effective reinforcement option that significantly reduces damage risk during handling. Engineered to withstand transit stresses while maintaining structural integrity for repeated use in demanding shipping environments.
Pack & Crate Service
Convenient drop-off service for measuring, packing, sealing, and certifying goods. Customers bring items to our Wingfield facility for expert handling by skilled technicians. Includes ISPM15 stamping and documentation, allowing clients to focus on core business while ensuring export-ready packaging compliance and security.
