A major in-house supply chain broker needed a reliable partner to manufacture ultra-long specialty crates—up to 40 feet oil field screens—for clients like Halliburton who ship tubular products and screens for the oilfield industry. These wooden crates had to remain stiff and secure during long-distance transport, all while meeting tight lead times and evolving customer specifications.
We’ve worked closely with a major in-house supply chain broker for years to design and build custom crates and internal cradles specifically tailored to heavy, high-value oilfield components. Wooden crates up to 480 inches long are constructed with reinforced hardwood and Southern Yellow Pine to ensure structural integrity. We regularly maintain stock of the most commonly used crate designs to shorten turnaround time. When a new or unusual request comes in, we meet with DXP and their customers to gather exact specs, weight requirements, and handling expectations—then engineer a solution that’s both strong and efficient.
Working through a major in-house supply chain broker, we’ve supported major oilfield service companies like Halliburton with shipping solutions that span the globe. What sets this partnership apart is the trust built over generations—our ability to represent our broker’s integrity as our own, and to build lasting relationships rooted in quality, service, and mutual respect.
