Modular Cooler System

 

“Daedalus was highly recommended to us by industry colleagues to assist in the development of the GOAT BOXCO product ecosystem: a plug-and-play food and gear storage solution for outdoor enthusiasts and emergency preparedness. From initial concept design through detailed engineering and prototyping, Daedalus did a masterful job in harmonizing our aesthetic wants with our stringent performance and durability requirements. We rely heavily upon the Daedalus team to assist in designing our GOATworthy products, and look forward to continued expansion of our relationship.”

— Jack Robbins, GOAT BOXCO Founder


When GOAT BOXCO wanted to build a fully insulated cooler with a rugged aesthetic, they enlisted Daedalus to collaborate on the design and engineering.

The end result is the first modular cooler that serves as a base camp for your outdoor and emergency needs. The system includes the hub, a high-performance cooler with heavy-duty rotomolded construction, the cans, which insert into the hub, and a storage rack to stow additional cans. Making it even easier to ready yourself for emergencies and outdoor adventures, GOAT BOXCO also provides pre-stocked cans and coolers, filled with useful and nutritious items from premium brands.

Other product details include label areas in the can handles and a cargo net on the front of the hub that keeps other necessary items accessible. The cargo net, as well as a tethered drain plug, are attached to the cooler with snaps, making them easy to remove. We designed the cooler’s carrying handles for a comfortable and secure grip and designed the latch handles to be secure and easy-to-use.
