To meet the needs of loading, unloading, and storing goods, they are supporting customers to purchase and renovate old 40′ HC containers into side-opening containers
Headway JSC a Coop member in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, is undertaking its latest initiative to support customers in purchasing and renovating shipping containers. They have recently converted old 40-feet high-cube containers into highly efficient side-opening containers, tailored for transporting goods from Hai Phong, Vietnam to Adelaide, Australia. This allows clients to deal with large, long-sized cargo, such as brown angle boards.
By converting traditional containers to side-opening models, Headway JSC is significantly enhancing the efficiency of loading and unloading processes. Moreover, the modification allows for a smoother, faster operation compared to conventional end-opening containers.
“This innovative shipping solution addresses pressing challenges such as container shortages and rising shipping costs. By repurposing old containers, we provide a cost-effective alternative tailored to specific client needs,” says Felix Nguyen, Sales & Agency Support Manager of Headway JSC. “Furthermore, the renovation approach contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing the amount of metal waste and limiting adverse ecological impacts,” he adds.
During the modification process, Headway and its technical team carefully calculated the opening of eight side doors for the 40-feet container, creating two sturdy pillars to increase load-bearing capacity. This helped to limit the risk of collapse and deformation due to changes in the container structure.
Congratulations to Headway JSC and all the best with their upcoming projects!
