Storing large machinery and equipment presents a practical challenge: having enough space inside a container is one thing, but being able to load and unload everything efficiently is just as important.
For FORU Solution, CBOX supplied several Full Side Access containers specifically for the storage and transport of oil spill skimmers and their associated equipment.
Unlike a standard shipping container, a Full Side Access container can be opened along its long side. The multiple doors create a much wider access point, making it significantly easier to load, position and remove larger machines and equipment. Items can be accessed directly instead of having to be moved through the container from the doors at one end. For equipment that needs to be transported, stored and regularly accessed, this added flexibility can make day-to-day operations considerably more efficient.
Functionality was not the only consideration for this project. The containers were finished in the distinctive bright red colour of FORU Solution and provided with large white branding, turning practical equipment storage into a highly recognisable part of the company’s operation. The result is a container solution that serves a very specific purpose while looking unmistakably FORU.
Full Side Access containers can be used for many applications where conventional container doors provide too little access, from machinery and technical equipment to materials that need to be reached individually.
