Hobbytrain - H9008 - Container, 20 Foot, Corrugated, Dry - Innofreight - 8-Pack

Specific Item Information: 8pc Container Set XXL Hackschnitzel

Prototype History: Given the prevalence of 40 foot containers in the global shipping/maritime industry, the 20 foot container was a logical choice for smaller cargoes. Given that exactly two 20 foot containers can stack on or be stacked on a 40 foot container, these little brothers are a no-brainer for smaller loads. Cargo ships specially designed for 40 foot containers can usually handle these smaller units without specialized loading equipment or facilities.

Dry containers are meant for non-refrigerated goods and hence are the most common type.

Corrugation in the construction of these containers yields much greater strength (just like with corrugated cardboard for boxes) but is more expensive to fabricate. Due to the extra strength granted by the corrugation, this is a popular type for overseas use.

Road Name History: Everybody starts small at some point. Innofreight was founded in 2002 and, true to our motto “Moving Limits”, we have continued to develop and devote ourselves entirely to innovation.

The foundation for our modular concept was laid in the pulp and paper industry. Since then, we continued to develop and now we offer solutions for a wide variety of industrial sectors. From agriculture to building materials or the transport of steel, energy, chemical products and liquids, there are hardly any goods for which we have not developed a suitable solution.

Our equipment is now on track in 20 European countries and rolls on all three common European gauges. From Finland to Portugal, our modular system is used by companies from a wide variety of industries and the number keeps growing.

International Sales & Service companies ensure close proximity to our customers around the clock and are available immediately, to guarantee the highest level of operational reliability all year round. Our international team is directly on site for service and maintenance as well.

The digitization process for our entire fleet is also in full swing. We are adding the small digital plus to the large Innofreight package and offer added value that nobody else has.

Starting with the idea through to implementation – we offer the complete logistics solution.
