About ECLIPS and it’s Distribution via Rackman Australia
ECLIPS (formerly Sea Box International) is an Australian systems engineering company that designs and fabricates purpose-built permanent and deployable buildings and logistics platforms using shipping containers and derivatives. They offer a range of off-the-shelf products or can design and fabricate unique modules to meet customer requirements.
With a history in defence, emergency services and the resources sector, ECLIPS’s solutions are focused upon reducing cost through standardisation, modularity and containerisation.
ECLIPS is a results-focused company that prides itself on producing innovative value for money solutions to complex problems. Being a sustainable Australian engineering business geared for success in a global market, the engine room of the ECLIPS team is its engineering capability which is constantly refreshed through ECLIPS’s positive engagement with both the Australian Defence Force and Faculty of Engineering at Australian National University’s (ANU) internship programs.
ECLIPS is proud to partner with Rackman Australia as a known specialist in storage systems for oil, gas and construction-based industries in Western Australia and all other Australian states and territories.
Purpose-Built Logistics Platforms
ECLIPS offers a range of flatracks, logistics platforms that include:
- Fully Intelligent Load-Handling System (ILHS)
- Demountable Rack Offload and Pickup System (DROPS)
- Palletised Load System (PLS) compatible containers
In addition to off-the-shelf platforms, we also supply the purpose-built logistics platforms of CROWS™ (trademarked and patent-protected) and PILS™.
CROWS™
ECLIPS’s Container Roll-Out Warehousing System (CROWS™) is an inter-connectable, all-steel, cargo-carrying platform and field warehousing system. Available in 20ft, 40ft and 45ft variants, CROWS™ can be rolled in and out of standard ISO shipping containers, or can be transported on a flatbed truck/trailer or MAFI trailer.
Laden CROWS™ can be stacked two or three high for transportation, potentially tripling shipping capacity, whilst it can also be stacked up to four high for warehousing, or nested up to fifteen high when not in use.
CROWS™ Advantages:
- Reduces quarantine risk so everything is containerised and secure
- Enhances logistics efficiency that reduces the time to load, crane lifts and personnel required
- Mitigates safety risks by reducing crane lifts
- Optimises the load space used in TEU assets, reducing the number of assets required for the operation and freight packages
- Reduces the environmental footprint of a project through rationalised lay-down, storage and dispatch areas (warehousing capability)
- Reduces project costs including logistics speed and efficiency, optimising container space and minimising the need for repackaging loads from the supplier to end-user
CROWS™ Corrosion Control Cover (C4)
Protect valuable cargo with the CROWS™ Corrosion Control Cover (C4). Manufactured from Intercept Technology™ materials using state-of-the-art corrosion protection, the C4 provides active unparalleled protection for enclosed cargo on 20ft and 40ft CROWS™ with 3ft or 4ft legs.
Designed and manufactured in Australia, the C4 provides multi-material protection (metals, plastics, rubber and electronics) and is reusable, quick to assemble, quarantine friendly, UV stabilised and water-resistant. The load is inspectable and accessible at all times throughout the supply chain.
PILS™
The Pipe Intermodal Logistics System (PILS™) is the next innovation in the evolution of line pipe carrying technology from ECLIPS.
PILS™ significantly reduces the number of handling lifts per pipe from the pipe fabricator to the trench, potentially resulting in considerable cost and safety benefits. Utilising the structural integrity of the pipe in order to reduce the overall logistics footprint, PILS™ decreasing costs and mitigates any environmental impact. Each clamp configuration fits into the 20ft ISO container footprint, enabling integration into any existing road, rail and shipping logistics systems – reducing transport times and costs whilst enhancing established transport safety systems.
PILS™ Advantages:
- Cost-saving application
- Time and schedule benefits
- Covers whole supply chain from fabricator to trench
- Reduced number of lifts and secure on-ground stacking resulting in improved safety
- Integrates smoothly into existing ISO transport systems
- Increased warehousing capability
