In recent years, there has been a great effort to reduce disposable packaging materials, both for environmental and economic reasons. Competitive pressures also dictate that this reduction in packaging must be accompanied by a decrease in damage to the parts being shipped.

In response, Steel King has greatly expanded our efforts in the development of custom shipping racks. These racks feature parts dividers, often incorporating foam or rubber, for secure yet protective handling of parts. The parts dividers can often be designed to be adjustable or changeable, to handle future parts requirements with the same shipping rack.

Steel King offers total design services for these shipping racks, often starting with no more than a prototype of the part to be shipped. Past applications have included:

• engines
• roofs
• windshields
• doors
• windows
• stampings
• bumpers
• radiators
• steering columns
• brakes
• transmissions
• and many more!
