Safely shipping military/government equipment to military bases is important for ensuring that our soldiers are as well-equipped as possible. Helping our military deploy safely and fast is always our focus. A deployment can last for many months or even years, so although military personnel can bring supplies with them, they frequently need to restock equipment throughout their time on post. The need for standard and custom shipping cases is huge.

Setting Up Mobile Field Offices
Several industries utilize mobile field offices: government construction sites, educational locations, and corporate commercial sites. All of them use temporary setups and need to be adequately equipped. For the military, trucks play a significant role in moving high volumes of gear and equipment across the country. However, transporting equipment in trucks poses obvious challenges. Without proper shipping cases, items can arrive damaged and/or unusable – not an appealing situation for the budget-conscious government. Equipment can also get lost in generic-looking boxes.
