Stack And Nest Containers

Nesting containers, also known as nesting containers or stackable containers,stack and nest containers are specially designed type of shipping container. Nesting storage containers defining feature is that, when empty, multiple containers of varying sizes can be nested inside one another like Russian dolls, significantly saving storage and transportation space. Stack nest containers achieve “volume reduction” through nesting while maintaining the structural integrity of the main container body. Nested storage containers expansion and contraction processes are generally faster, and nest and stack containers structure is relatively simpler. Stack and nest storage containers enable revolutionary reductions in transportation costs: When moving empty containers from discharge ports back to loading ports or from warehouses to customer sites, nest containers can save up to 75% of cabin or truck space. For example, a truck that previously could only carry one empty container can now transport 2–6 nested. Similarly, a yard of the same area nested containers can store several times more empty containers, nesting container drastically reducing land costs and storage fees. The process of nesting and extracting stack and nest container is typically quicker than assembling or disassembling foldable containers and container nesting requires less technical skill from operators—usually only a forklift is needed. Since the main framework remains unchanged during nesting, the structural strength, durability, and deformation resistance of nesting containers with lids are well-preserved.
