Return transports of empties cost money – often more than companies realize. Those who return built-up, non-foldable containers waste loading space capacity and pay for journeys that are half empty. Volume-reducible transport containers solve this problem: they can be folded to a fraction of their original volume after unloading – and thus structurally reduce return transport costs. <\/p>\n
With the ThorPak product family, wi-sales GmbH offers foldable KLTs (R-FSC, RL-FSC), foldable large load carriers (Quattro) and individual system solutions for automotive, industry and logistics. This page shows when the changeover pays off – with concrete figures. <\/p>\n

A disposable container solves the packaging problem at one end of the supply chain – and creates a new one at the other. Anyone who transports goods in non-foldable KLTs or large load carriers (GLTs) regularly sends half-empty trucks on return trips. <\/p>\n
A 13.6 m long trailer can hold around 180 units stacked with 600\u00d7400\u00d7280 mm Euro containers when assembled. Depending on the type, the same containers occupy less than half the stacking height when folded (example R-FSC 6429F: 280 mm when set up \u2192 90.5 mm when folded). This means that up to three times as many empty containers can be transported in the same loading area – return trips are reduced accordingly. <\/p>\n
Added to this is the need for storage space: empties are waiting to be collected. In many factories, built-up empty containers take up valuable hall space that is not available for production or incoming goods. Foldable containers can be stored in stacks on a fraction of the required floor space. <\/p>\n
Conclusion: Every return trip that is eliminated saves direct transportation costs (fuel, travel time, driver compensation). Every square meter of storage space that is freed up reduces operating costs. Foldable reusable containers are not a convenience – they are a cost issue.

The key feature: the stacking space height can be individually adjusted – no additional empties ring is required, as is usual with conventional folding GLTs. This saves procurement costs and simplifies the storage of accessories. <\/p>\n The Poka-Yoke closing system enables folding and opening without a prescribed folding sequence – one person is enough. The all-round forklift collision protection protects the container even when stacked with a forklift truck. <\/p>\n Technical features of the ThorPak Quattro:<\/p>\nComparison of folding and collapsible large load carriers<\/h2>\n
