Large-scale transportation of goods isn't easy, considering the complexity of infrastructure and equipment needed to move shipping container deliveries. It can seem like an impossible task, but there is a huge range of advantages of shipping container transport and delivery, especially when using a professional container transport company. Here at WSI, we’ve outlined the benefits of shipping container transport to help simplify the transport process.
Low Costs
The standardisation of shipping containers has had a huge effect of increasing efficiency and lowering the costs of transport. Whether they’re being transported via rail, road or sea, shipping containers can be stacked and moved into different types of transport with ease, minimising handling time. By holding bulk items, shipping containers move faster through customs and offer flexibility to the type of cargo they can hold. With less manpower and logistics needed, the transport process is simplified, offering huge savings when compared to traditional transport options. To find out how much you can save, enquire with a container transport logistics company to find out about their process and what is offered in terms of movement and storage.
Durability and Safety
Shipping container transport isn’t only cost-effective but a flexible and secure way to move all kinds of content like cars, food items and other raw materials. Shipping containers can usually hold up to one tonne and are solid and sealable with the contents only opened at the beginning and end of the transport process and during customs. This means the goods can be safely moved long distances without damage, spoilage or theft. Shipping containers can also move dangerous liquid substances, but it's best to consult a container transport logistics company to find out which goods they can safely move.
Easy Warehousing
A container transport service offers flexibility when it comes to moving goods, but they can also offer warehousing options to keep bulk products in one space. Thanks to the standardisation of container sizes, they have the advantage of increasing stacking density in warehouses for when companies need to store bulk inventory. While warehouses can fit more in one space, they can also be expensive due to the equipment and employees needed to move the containers. This is where a transport and logistics provider can help by offering companies long and short-term storage solutions for goods along with bonded warehousing for security.
