As a premier supplier of top quality material handling products, Modular Container Systems has custom fabricated a wide assortment of crates, pallets, and pallet adapters for the military and defense industry, some of which are pictured here. Each was designed to streamline their warehousing and logistical operations and provide an efficient means of storing, handling, and shipping contents that ranged from munitions to vehicle components to commissary items.

Manufactured according to custom specifications from various ASTM grade steels, we fabricated these material handling solutions according to strict Mil-Spec standards and technical requirements. In addition to wire straightening, cutting, bending, and forming, primary production processes included shearing, punching, and MIG and arc welding. Various finish operations included galvanizing, zinc electroplating, painting, and powder coating. Our ISO 9001:2008 certified quality management system set high standards to guarantee product functionality and durability.

Typically produced in an 8 to 10 week timeframe, these products were built with exceptional structural integrity to withstand many years of constant use as well as optimize the ergonomics and workflow of military and defense logistics operations.
