Packaging for Heavy Machinery & Fabrication
The shipping of large fabricated components, heavy machinery, and oversized equipment requires packaging that can withstand extreme weight, long transit times, and harsh handling. In this sector, packaging is less about aesthetics and more about structural engineering, load security, and corrosion prevention.
We specialize in high-performance corrugated and multi-material solutions designed to replace heavy wooden crates, reducing inbound weight, minimizing labor, and significantly cutting freight costs.
Technical Design and Structural Assurance
Our expertise lies in the structural calculations that guarantee the safe shipment and stacking of your heaviest products. We don't just supply boxes; we engineer shipping stability.
Expert Design Services
We utilize precise figures to custom-design every solution, maximizing material efficiency and safety:
-
Box Compression Test (BCT): Calculating the maximum load your final package can withstand before failure.
-
Edge Crush Test (ECT): Verifying the vertical stacking strength of the board itself.
-
Stacking Strength Analysis: Determining safe, effective pallet stacking patterns to optimize freight density and prevent crushing throughout the supply chain.
Core Product Solutions for Heavy Logistics
Our heavy-duty line is built to secure, protect, and consolidate massive components, offering an immediate weight and cost advantage over wood.
-
Pallet Boxes and Wraps: Large, high-volume cartons (often octagonal or hexagonal) designed to fit standard or custom pallets. They maximize pallet efficiency, reduce manual labour during packing, and provide total containment for heavy components.
-
Corrugated Fittings & Sheets: Internal inserts, dividers, corrugated runners, and full pallet sheets. These provide robust internal support and load distribution to prevent shifting or direct contact damage within the primary container.
-
Thermal Pallet Liners: Insulated liners placed over or around palletized components. These offer crucial protection against sudden or extreme temperature fluctuations during transit, safeguarding sensitive finishes and components.
Streamlining Oversized and Complex Shipments
We provide robust, large-format solutions that simplify assembly and breakdown while handling products that exceed standard dimensional constraints.
-
Heavy-Duty Sleeves & Caps: Oversized corrugated sleeves and caps that offer full vertical protection for tall or cylindrical industrial items.
-
Knock-Down (KD) Units: Solutions designed to be shipped flat (reducing freight cost and storage), then rapidly assembled at the fabrication site with minimal effort and without specialized tools.
Heavy-Weight & Export Board Grades
We use the highest-specification corrugated board available, including multi-wall and Export Grade configurations, to handle weights exceeding standard limits. This ensures compliance with shipping regulations and absolute load security for your most valuable assets.
Optimise Your Industrial & Protective Packaging: Durability & Efficiency
Getting the right industrial packaging goes beyond basic dimensions—it’s about ensuring the safe containment of varied, often heavy or delicate, components, maximizing logistics efficiency, and delivering a robust, confident experience throughout the supply chain, whether it's specialized machinery parts, vulnerable electronics, or bulk protective gear.
We are experts in combining high-level Structural Engineering with technical precision, helping you optimize for:
-
Product Protection & Integrity: Eliminate common errors that compromise product safety or risk damage like crushing, puncture, moisture ingress, or component shifting during transit. We ensure the exact certified board grade, heavy-duty cushioning, robust internal supports, and weather-resistant finishes are used to secure diverse equipment, from fragile assemblies to high-mass items.
-
Logistics Efficiency & Handling: Design packaging to minimize freight costs by optimizing pallet configurations and maximizing container utilization. We focus on structures that are easy to pack, stack, and secure, ensuring quick handling and minimizing the risk of damage during automated or manual logistics processes.
-
Sustainability & Compliance: Ensure your materials meet critical sustainability targets (e.g., maximizing recyclable content for large boxes, material lightweighting where appropriate), and comply with all necessary postal/shipping regulations and industrial safety standards while maintaining a functional, clean presentation.
