The 45' pallet-wide container is changing the face of modular transportation in Europe and Adaptainer is a pioneer and market leader for the manufacture and supply of this new equipment both on a sale, lease or lease purchase basis.

It has become accepted by the European Commission for the trans-European transportation of goods and is fully compliant with EU directive 96/53.

The key benefits of the pallet-wide container are fourfold:

	It has an identical pallet-loading capacity to the traditional 13.6m which enables a 53% plus increase in the cargo trailer transport load against a 40' standard dry van container.
	It is truly intermodal, being transferrable directly from road to rail to river/sea vessels without the cargo itself being handled.
	Through the use of high-strength steel it is lighter and stronger than the traditional 40' container and competes in all respects with 13.6 metre transportation equipment.This container will undoubtedly replace both the swap-body and 40' container, providing the benefits of both in a single product!
	The combined negative effects of increased fuel costs etc working time directives covering drivers working hours, road congestion and road toll charges are rapidly creating problems for the traditional road transportation throughout Europe. Contact us to find out how our intermodal solution can resolve many of these issues either partially or completely.

As a result of having established commercial relationships with the specialist steel mills and container manufacturers in Europe and Asia, Adaptainer can ensure the delivery of quantities of quality equipment at competitive prices - all with the latest technological features designed by our in-house engineers.

Refridgerated, side loading and standard dry van versions are available.

Through an office in Rotterdam, Adaptainer is well placed to capitalise on the pan-European growth of the market for the 45' pallet-wide container, all with full in-house backup from our design team, from design through to delivery.

Complimentary lightweight high strength chassis are also supplied - again built to the latest designs and fully compliant with current European legislation.
