Bulkhead Panels

Bulkhead panels are used to stabilize cargo during transport by filling voids, preventing lateral shifts and reducing the risk of product damage in trailers, rail cars and intermodal containers.

Millwood corrugated bulkhead panels act as both a void fill and a protective barrier, holding freight firmly in place. Their diamond-shaped construction distributes impact forces, minimizing end-to-end damage while reinforcing load stability. These panels are especially valuable for heavy-duty or high-volume shipments, where even small shifts can result in costly claims. By improving balance and organization inside trailers and containers, bulkhead panels enhance safety, reduce waste and deliver consistent cargo protection across multiple modes of transport.

Corrugated bulkhead panels improve dunnage air bag efficiency by reducing void space, stabilizing loads and reinforcing pressure distribution across palletized cargo.

Without bulkhead panels, air bags may struggle to maintain consistent pressure or cover excessive empty space. Millwood’s bulkhead panels create a solid surface for airbags to press against, ensuring even inflation and better containment of freight. This reduces side-to-side movement, enhances cushioning during transit and protects shipments from collapse or impact damage. By combining airbags with corrugated bulkhead panels, shippers gain a stronger, more reliable dunnage system that minimizes freight damage and supports safer, more efficient transport across trucks, containers and railcars.

Yes—bulkhead panels are reusable, offering a cost-effective and durable cargo protection solution that can be deployed across multiple shipping cycles.

Made with corrugated materials and a diamond-structured interior, Millwood’s bulkhead panels are engineered for strength and repeat performance. After use, they can be recovered, stored and redeployed without compromising reliability. This reusability lowers replacement costs, reduces solid waste and supports long-term sustainability goals. Many shippers use the same panels for load after load, demonstrating their resilience and economic value. By choosing reusable bulkhead panels, businesses protect their products while gaining measurable cost savings and operational efficiency over time.

Yes—bulkhead panels can be custom-built to meet specific shipping requirements, ensuring the right size, fit and strength for each application.

Millwood offers customization options for trailers, containers and pallet configurations, providing reinforced solutions where standard panels may fall short. Custom-built panels can be designed for unique load types, pallet underhang support or heavy-duty cargo requiring added durability. By tailoring bulkhead panels to customer needs, Millwood ensures optimal performance, better load containment and reduced risk of shipping damage. This flexibility allows companies to avoid over-engineering while still achieving dependable, cost-effective protection for freight across industries and transport modes.

Yes—Millwood bulkhead panels are fully recyclable, making them an eco-friendly cargo securement solution that reduces packaging waste.

Constructed from corrugated materials, these panels can be recycled after multiple uses, supporting circular economy practices. Their lightweight design also lowers fuel consumption during transport compared to heavier blocking methods, reducing overall carbon footprint. Millwood’s recycling programs help customers recover and repurpose used panels, aligning with corporate sustainability initiatives. By choosing recyclable bulkhead panels, businesses achieve reliable cargo securement while meeting environmental goals, creating a balance between protection, efficiency and sustainability in modern supply chains.
