Falmouth’s ship repair, boatbuilding and marine science get crates and cases built in Devon and delivered on our own fleet.
Falmouth’s work is marine, and so is most of what we send there: braced crates for ship repair, cases that protect a finished surface for boatbuilders, and shock pallets for marine instruments. It is all built at our 300,000 sq ft factory in Bideford and delivered on our Cornwall runs.
Braced crates for heavy, irregular marine components, built to be craned.
Foam-lined cases that protect a finished or painted surface.
Shock protection for marine science instruments.
Long slatted crates for shafts and other long marine parts.
Heat-treated crates stamped FC0542 for parts shipped worldwide.
Reconditioned pallets, delivered and collected on our Cornwall runs.
Also made at Bideford: new wooden pallets, bespoke wooden pallets, heat treated pallets, bespoke wooden crates, osb crates, plywood crates, machinery export crates, plywood riveted cases, server rack crates, export packaging, export packing services, contract packing, cardboard packaging and packaging and consumables. We also collect and recycle used pallets on our South West runs.
Falmouth is on our Cornwall runs, down the A39 and A30 from our Bideford factory. We deliver into the town, the docks area, Penryn and the Kernick and Tregoniggie estates.
Our own lorries and our own drivers. For marine work: long, heavy, oddly shaped items that a pallet network will decline on sight, being able to load a bespoke case at the factory and deliver it whole is the point.
Falmouth’s ship repair, boatbuilding and marine instrument firms ship parts and equipment worldwide, some of it straight out of the docks. Pallets, crates and cases for those shipments must be heat treated and marked to ISPM 15.
Crates for Falmouth’s ship repair and boatbuilding are built from heat-treated timber and stamped FC0542 at Bideford, and pallets are treated in our own kilns. Plywood and processed board are exempt, so tell us the destination and we will say which applies.

Falmouth has one of the world’s largest natural deep-water harbours and a ship repair industry to match. Marine components are heavy and irregular, and often corrosion-sensitive, bespoke crates with internal bracing, and lifting provision where the load needs it.
High-value, high-finish work where damage in transit is expensive and visible. Shock pallets, foam-lined cases and hybrid packaging that protects a finished surface.
Anything leaving in solid timber packaging needs ISPM 15 heat treatment and marking. We treat pallets on site in our own kilns, build crates and cases from heat-treated timber, and mark under registration FC0542.
Falmouth and Penryn have a serious marine research presence. Delicate instrumentation needs shock protection rather than sheer strength.
Yes: regularly, on our own fleet, on our Cornwall runs from Bideford.
Yes. Heavy and oversized is routine work. Give us the dimensions, the weight and how it needs to be lifted, and we will build a case designed for craning if that is what it needs.
Solid timber packaging leaving the UK needs to be ISPM 15 heat-treated and marked. Plywood and processed boards are exempt. Tell us the destination and we will confirm which applies.
Yes: foam lining, hybrid packaging and shock pallets are all designed for exactly that. Tell us what the surface is and how far it is going.
Our fleet also runs into Penryn, Truro, Helston, Redruth, Camborne, Mawnan Smith and the Lizard. If you are outside Falmouth, call 01237 423772 and we will tell you straight whether you are on a route.
