Freight Forwarder-Introduce Chinese freight forwarders

“I never think of themselves as an inventor.” Key to change about 18 years ago the invention of the fashion logistics sector, known as Air Container (Air Textainer) the father of Weiner. SED (Werner Sander) laughed. ”The piece of wood on the installation of metal frame and cover, but who is able to think of ideas.” He said.

Time back to January 1993, Stuttgart, Germany. Sed popularity in the global logistics provider Logistics (Logwin) Air Ministry as a manager who just turned 6 months, veteran fashion logistics experts are troubled by the industry for a long time bothered by the question: can not find a worldwide logistics for cargo business to China and Central and South America to the fashion trade by hanging (GOH) equipment. In the early 1990s, logistics providers can only rely on the simplicity of the airline transportation equipment GOH fashion, the destination airport is the transport terminal, but airlines are always highly variable, and only a few can provide the right equipment.

SED of this situation is not satisfied. According to his idea, the clothing store anywhere in the world should be able to fly directly in front of the store to receive good clothing, without the need to spend time re-loading and unloading of goods, not dependent on a specific airline. Logistics providers were already self-made wooden box in the installation of metal frame, but such devices have many shortcomings.

Air during temperature changes and poor ventilation will erode the metal frame of untreated, often stained clothing to rust and require large numbers of workers will be a huge wooden box with a welder and disposed apart. Fashion Logistics needed a new, high-quality transport system.

Strong compression assembly carton wall structure

With a packaging company in the process of cooperation, Logwin began to design a special box. The requirements of this box was not easy. Sanda said, it is to fit air, strong but not too heavy, easy to assemble and to disassemble. During transport, clothing space is smaller, and to take measures to protect and ventilation. After a year of continued testing, modular “AirTextainer” was finally born and put into production, replacing big heavy wooden Logwin ─ ─ at least in terms of the case.

The new hanging garment bottom of the device can be installed by a wooden plug-in hasp composition, composed of strips of wood from the walls of the box, cover it with a four-layer compression wave-shaped cardboard and moisture-proof membrane. The box without a screw, so as building blocks assembled as easy disassembly. And compared to the original wooden structure of the box, assembled structure is very strong. Discharge has become quite easy ─ ─ box from all sides open. Box inside the hanger system can hang clothes on a rope, which makes flexible use of interior space: either coat, skirt, shirt or pants can be hung.

AirTextainer first flight in 1994, that the shipment was destined for Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, is a well-known brand of high-level suits, trousers, jackets and coats. Sed recalls, “The response has been enthusiastic, and since then we have been using this new type of container for the delivery of high fashion clients.”

The obvious advantage of using AirTextainer. Sanda said bales fashion by long-distance transport is often prone to fold after a while the way you can guarantee with hanging clothes ironing. After the operation to the end, there is no need to spend a lot of manual unpacking. More importantly, the box can be used than the standard container has increased by 15%. Accessories installed at the bottom of the box can be used to transport cargo and small package without additional cost.Although originally designed for air, but can also be used for shipping, rail and road transport, only with a forklift can switch between the different means of transport. ”It is very safe and theft in transit has never been an accident.” Sed this with pride.

Combination box can be reused 50 times

Today, Logwin delivered to customers each year with AirTextainer about 5,000 boxes of goods. Between Europe and Asia and between Asia and South America, strong demand for transport, transport between Australia’s growing demand. But now the equipment and replacement 10 years ago already: cover, fixtures and locks have been improved, and there are 4 different size models ─ ─ S No. box can load 316 kg, equivalent to 90 sets of men’s suits, No. XL can load 1265 kg, equivalent to 365 units or 1430, Ms. suit pants. But it still retained the characteristics of solid, wood and walls of the box can be reused 50 times, wave-shaped cardboard can be used 4 times. ”The most simple is best,” Sanda said of his invention.
