Here are four advantages of buying collapsible or foldable shipping containers:
1- Space Efficiency: Collapsible or foldable shipping containers are designed to save space when not in use. They can be easily folded or collapsed, reducing their volume significantly. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses or individuals who have limited storage space or need to transport empty containers efficiently. It allows for more efficient stacking and storage, reducing overall storage costs.
2- Cost Savings: Traditional shipping containers require additional expenses for storage and transportation when empty, as they take up a considerable amount of space. Collapsible or foldable containers eliminate the need for dedicated storage areas and reduce transportation costs, as multiple collapsed containers can fit into the space that would be occupied by a single traditional container. This cost-saving aspect can be especially advantageous for companies involved in frequent shipping operations.
3- Flexibility and Versatility: Collapsible or foldable containers offer greater flexibility in terms of usage. They can be easily converted into different configurations or sizes based on the specific needs of a shipment. This adaptability makes them suitable for various types of cargo, ranging from small items to oversized or irregularly shaped goods. The containers can be folded or expanded as required, accommodating a wide range of cargo sizes and reducing the need for specialized containers for different purposes.
4- Environmental Sustainability: The use of collapsible or foldable shipping containers contributes to environmental sustainability. By optimizing storage and transportation efficiency, these containers help reduce the overall carbon footprint associated with shipping operations. They enable the transportation of more goods in a single trip, minimizing fuel consumption and emissions. Additionally, the ability to fold or collapse containers allows for efficient return logistics, reducing the number of empty containers being transported, and further decreasing environmental impact.
These advantages highlight the practicality, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness of collapsible or foldable shipping containers, making them a compelling choice for businesses and individuals involved in shipping and logistics.
Quick and easy!
The whole process of moving a collapsible container should take no more than a couple of hours from start to finish and can be done during quiet times at work (or on your day if used for private storage).
These containers can go to the parts other containers cannot reach! Non-collapsible stores require hiab delivery (lorry mounted cranes) which is not only expensive but can be impossible for places with limited access. This is where collapsible containers come into their own, because they are transported in a flat pack, there are no obstacles to getting them delivered, even if it’s to the back of your house! On top of this, you will make substantial savings on the cost of delivery. This also makes them ideal as a mobile store, for frequent moving. Choice from galvanized or powder coated in blue or green.
Taking the hassle out of self-assembly
Full technical support is offered on how to put together our collapsible containers, but if you are wary of self-assembly products (which have been given a bad name by certain stores that shall remain nameless), have a look at our how experts working day and night to give you the best and make up your own mind. No specialist tools are required and two people can have the 2m store up in less than an hour. Larger collapsible containers of 3m and 4m will take a little more manpower, but the process remains the same. All sizes are compact enough when collapsed to be stashed away for future use.
