Propeller crates, long slatted crates, heat-treated dunnage and heavy pallets, made in Bideford, Devon, for yards and marine engineers in the UK and abroad.
Last reviewed 31 October 2026
Devon has a long marine industry and we have packed for it for years. Our marine packaging covers propellers, shafts, marine energy and composite parts and boat equipment: crates built to each item’s diameter and weight, long slatted crates over 3 metres, heat-treated dunnage for packing inside containers, and heavy pallets. Everything solid timber is stamped FC0542 so it can go to a yard anywhere in the world.
