INEOS Grenadier storage product design: JKSM Offroad

A critical need for utility and organisation

Redarc Defence & Space and JKSM Offroad needed a mission-ready INEOS Grenadier for the Land Forces expo, but the vehicle was brand new to market with zero aftermarket support. CodeFish used 3D scanning and rapid prototyping to design a modular storage system that was ready for aftermarket sale before the expo ended.

What if your vehicle could do more?

More organisation. More efficiency. More adaptability.

That’s exactly what we built for the Ineos Grenadier—taking it from standard off-roader to a fully mission-ready operations unit.

Redarc Defence & Space and JKSM Offroad brought CodeFish Studio a brief for Land Forces, Australia’s premier defence expo. They needed a storage system fit for the battlefield.

CodeFish no longer offers industrial design, 3D scanning or 3D modelling. This project remains here as an example of past work.

The problem

Whether you’re leading a defence mission, managing a commercial fleet, or heading off-grid, one thing is certain—your gear needs to be organised, accessible, and secure.

But for Ineos Grenadier owners, there wasn’t a purpose-built solution.

With no aftermarket storage options available, people were cobbling together DIY fixes, struggling with unreliable mounts, and making do with inefficient setups. The forums were full of questions, frustrations, and workarounds.

The message was loud and clear—this vehicle needed a proper storage system that actually worked.

The approach

The goal: Maximise storage, improve efficiency, and ensure modular adaptability for future applications.

This wasn’t just about mounting defence equipment—it was about designing a storage system that felt purpose-built for the Grenadier from day one.

Scalable, modular, and ready for real-world use.

With the Land Forces Expo fast approaching, there was no room for guesswork, every decision had to be precise. Drawing from past experience and our proven methodology, we focused on three key priorities:

Utility First – More than just storage, every component had to enhance functionality.
Rapid Design & Prototyping – 3D scanning, CAD modelling, and real-world testing ensured a precise, practical fit.
Scalability – Designed beyond defence, built for fleet operators, overlanders, and commercial users alike.

Grenadier owners had a need. Our client had a mission. We turned both into a solution that just makes sense.

From sketch to product

Creating a rugged, functional storage system required a blend of design expertise, real-world application, and agile problem-solving:

3D scanning the Grenadier eliminated guesswork, ensuring precise mounting without manual measuring.
Hand sketching and rapid prototyping allowed for quick iteration without wasting budget on full redesigns.
A scalable manufacturing strategy so that JKSM Offroad could commercialise the design for a post-expo launch.

The solution wasn’t just built for the Land Forces Expo, it was designed for a broader market from day one.

The result

A modular system built for more than just defence

What started as a mission-ready expo build quickly became a commercial product. By designing for adaptability, we delivered a fully integrated storage system that transformed a standard off-road truck into a mobile operations unit.

But more than that, we proved that defence-grade innovation doesn’t just belong in one sector – it can drive commercial success in fleet management, overlanding, and beyond.

This project wasn’t just about delivering for a single expo - it demonstrated how defence-grade innovation can drive mainstream commercial success, leading to:

Enhanced Operational Efficiency – A standard off-road truck evolved into a fully integrated mobile operations unit.
Commercial Readiness – The design was market-ready for aftermarket sales before the event even ended.
Cross-Industry Scalability – A versatile solution applicable to defence, fleet management, overlanding, and commercial vehicle sectors.

As the industry moves toward modular, scalable storage, we're already looking ahead of the curve – read more about what we did for JKSM Offroad at Land Forces.
