Auto folding containers

US-based GenFlat has launched a new folding container design. Folding container concepts are well-known in the market, but the GenFlat design introduces a new concept that has not been presented before, as far as WorldCargo News is aware.

Spectainer has partnered with Nexxiot to enable real-time visibility of its fleet of COLLAPSECON folding containers.

Folding container concepts have existed for more than a decade, with many advantages clear to see, but they have never gained widespread support. Could this be about to change?

Due to current problems with container logistics and empty box repositioning, the case for folding shipping containers has probably never been
stronger. Manufacturers of these boxes are trying to seize the opportunity.

The first industrial series of Zbox foldable containers has successfully completed their first trips by road and by sea, in collaboration with the shipping line Marguisa.

4FOLD has announced that major global shipper Procter & Gamble (P&G) is to trial its folding container design this year as part of a sustainability initiative and partnership between the two companies.
