Except as one word, since compound nouns are never separated in German¹ Well, except for line breaks, which is probably necessary if you’re putting text like this on a box. I would suggest Truppenfahrrad-Unterstützungskasten with a hyphen, which likely will also form a good point for the line break.


¹ And, incidentally, in Dutch too, despite the ever-increasing Engelse ziekte.
