Bespoke pallet box

In 2020 Oceaneering came to Exporta with a problem. They had an array of different pallet boxes that their engineers would use to take parts on-site to a job. The problem was, there was no consistency or style of box in place. This meant regular confusion and wasted time for the engineers working on site. The boxes weren’t identifiable as Oceaneering property meaning they regularly went missing. Another concern was security, there was nothing in place to secure the lids to the pallet boxes and lock them in place.

Erin Mentiplay from Oceaneering recognised the need for a uniform pallet box that was easily identifiable as Oceaneering property, that’s when she got in touch with Scott Logie at Exporta.

The challenge Exporta faced was to create a bespoke solution to Oceaneering’s issue.

There were a few options to consider initially, these included rigid pallet boxes with castors and collapsible pallet boxes. In the end, it was decided that castors would not be suitable for the rough dockyard terrain. Collapsible Pallet Boxes wouldn’t be necessary due to the nature of the contents. It was clear that the best option was a modified Rigid Pallet Box. The key modifications required were an attached lid, that could easily be locked and Oceaneering branding to ensure they were recognised as their property.

The prototype Pallet Box worked, and it was approved for production. The modified rigid pallet boxes were branded with Oceaneering’s logo and delivered after four weeks.
