Roll containers are an essential part of any storage logistics strategy, as well as being a flexible and economical means of transport...
They have a wide range of uses across multiple industries, especially in retail or in any industry where large volumes of goods need to be moved and stored on a regular basis. Plus, they are very useful for moving goods, as well as storing or order picking. They form a valuable part of any moving and handling strategy and can be used with additional equipment such as intermediate shelves, tension belts, special rollers or braking systems.
There are many different types of roll container, as outlined
below.
Two-sided
roll container
With
metal grates on two sides of the cage, these are most suitable for stocking
lightweight items that are unlikely to fall. Two-sided cages give you good
access to the goods from multiple angles, meaning they’re very flexible for
storing and stocking lightweight boxes and goods.
Three-sided roll container
Three-sided containers are closed at the back
as well as the sides, providing more support against falls and damage to stock.
As such they can be used for heavier items while still providing easy front
loading and unloading access.
Four-sided roll container
With a closable (and sometimes lockable)
front door, these roll containers are ideal for storing goods that need a high
level of protection and for moving heavier goods that have a potential to fall.
It also allows you to store high-value goods with the ability to lock the door
to protect contents.
Full security roll container
Similar to four-sided roll containers, these
have a front door access and a large load capacity, meaning they are suited to
heavy goods and long-term storage.
Jumbo roll container
A large storage capacity makes jumbo roll
containers ideal for storing and moving bulk items.
Demountable roll container
Demountable roll containers come with a
storage section that can be removed for more convenient long-term storage.
Nestable roll container
If saving space in your storage or warehouse
area is important, then nestable roll containers could be a great option. These
are containers that slot together when not in use, meaning several units can be
stored in a small space. It’s important that you get nestable containers of the
same size and brand to ensure maximum space-saving potential.
If you’re looking to improve your storage,
moving and handling or stocking options, then a choice of roll containers
provides you with a range of possibilities. With different sizes and styles
suitable for different purposes, you can create a comprehensive warehouse or
storage plan. And with space-saving nestable containers also available, you can
really improve your storage space options.
In addition, there are specialist roll containers for certain goods, including fresh produce, larger units such as furniture, as well as covers and insulated boxes for fresh or frozen items. Create your bespoke roll container and accessory solutions and work smarter in your storage area.
