In the world of logistics and internal handling, roll containers are an essential solution for companies in every sector. But what exactly are they, what advantages do they offer, and how do you choose one? In this article, we answer the most common questions, helping you understand if and how they can optimize your operations.
What is a roll container?
A roll container is a modular metal trolley equipped with side walls (sides) and swivel wheels, designed to transport goods of varying weights and volumes. Unlike a traditional pallet, it offers a containment structure that prevents accidental spills during transport, making it particularly safe and efficient.

-
Large-scale retail trade and supermarkets: for rapid shelf replenishment.
-
Warehouses and logistics: for internal handling and transport of mixed packages.
-
Industrial laundries and hospitals: for moving clean and dirty linen.
-
Food sector: thanks to galvanized or stainless steel versions, easy to sanitize.
-
Transport and shipping: to optimize loading and unloading, reducing downtime.
