Packing Pressure Vessels to BS1133-8:2011
So are you packing Pressure Vessels before sending them out to your customers? Maybe you wish you were. We are now able to offer this in house service before dispatch. Now does that sound good to you?
Above Pressure Vessels foil wrapped and crated on site by us and ready for delivery. These are horizontally semi-sheathed crates, externally battened.

Why Pack Pressure Vessels?
- Even with the most careful handling paintwork can get scuffed. Pressure Vessels do need to be strapped securely on to delivery vehicles. The strapping can sometimes rub on the paintwork. By using packing crates the friction is on the crate, not the vessel. Some Pressure Vessels travel large distances to reach their final destination, even just within the UK.
- Many of our lucky Pressure Vessels get a ticket to ride in Europe and beyond! Export packing sends them safely on their way for a successful journey.
- It may be that once on site the vessel will not be installed for a while. The packing will offer additional protection on a busy site.
- Some Bespoke Pressure Vessels are very well connected. They have many flanges and connections at all different angles. A last minute ‘knock’ in transit requiring repair could really set your schedule back. Can any of us really afford that?
On site Packing
We are proud to be able to offer the in house packing service as an option to you.
Recycling packing crates
Were you aware that packing crates can have many uses? We are very keen to see them recycled and repurposed.
See just one example below how they can be used to contain over excited colleagues. James here got a little giddy. But 5 minutes in the ‘cooling off crate’ and he will be on top form again. He knows this is for his own good really. We do not get any pleasure at all from doing this!
