RU What is a fly wing container?
Fly Wing Container, from its appearance, has a certain similarity with ordinary containers, but it has a revolutionary breakthrough in functional design. It is an innovative transportation equipment that breaks the space limitations of traditional containers through the design of expandable side walls and tops. Simply put, it is like a box that can “spread its wings”. This unique design makes it show unique advantages in the process of cargo loading and unloading and transportation.
The opening and closing of the side panels and top panels of the fly wing container are controlled by hydraulic or mechanical devices. This design makes the loading and unloading of goods extremely convenient. In traditional container transportation, goods can usually only enter and exit from the door at one end, and the loading and unloading process is relatively cumbersome and inefficient. The Fly Wing Container can quickly unfold the side panels and top panels through hydraulic or mechanical devices to achieve rapid loading and unloading of goods, especially for large and special-shaped goods. Its advantages are more obvious. For example, when transporting large machinery and equipment, irregular building materials, and other items, the Fly Wing Container allows goods to enter and exit directly from the side or top, avoiding the problem of difficult loading and unloading due to the special shape of the goods.
When transporting large and specially-shaped goods, ordinary containers often face problems such as insufficient space utilization and difficulty in loading and unloading. The Fly Wing Container can perfectly fit the shape of these goods through its expandable design, maximize the use of space, and reduce transportation costs. For example, when transporting large wind turbine blades, ordinary containers cannot accommodate them at all, but the Fly Wing Container can easily load them by unfolding the side panels to ensure the safe transportation of goods.
The core advantages of the fly wing container
1. 300% increase in loading and unloading efficiency
In the logistics industry, time is money, and the emergence of Fly Wing Container has undoubtedly brought an efficiency revolution to logistics companies. When loading and unloading goods in traditional containers, it is necessary to use equipment such as forklifts or cranes to move the goods into the container one by one. This process is not only cumbersome but also consumes a lot of time and manpower. Taking the transportation of a certain electronic product as an example, when loading and unloading precision electronic products in traditional containers, due to the need for careful operation, the loading and unloading time of a single box is often as long as 4 hours, which means that logistics companies not only have to pay high labor costs during this period, but may also affect the entire transportation plan due to slow loading and unloading of goods.
The Fly Wing Container is completely different. It makes the loading and unloading process simple and efficient by unfolding the side panels with one click. Taking the above-mentioned electronic product transportation as an example, after using the Fly Wing Container, the loading and unloading workers can directly carry out mechanized loading and unloading from both sides or the top. With the help of advanced loading and unloading equipment, the loading and unloading time of a single box is greatly reduced from 4 hours to 1 hour. This not only greatly improves the loading and unloading efficiency but also reduces the risk of damage to the goods during loading and unloading. According to statistics, after a logistics company used Fly Wing Containers to transport auto parts, its daily throughput increased by 2.5 times. The improvement in transportation efficiency directly led to a significant increase in economic benefits.
2. Maximizing space utilization
The Fly Wing Container has unique advantages in space utilization. Its expandable structural design can easily load ultra-large equipment with a height of up to 5.8 meters, which is difficult for ordinary containers to achieve. In traditional container transportation, due to limited space, the transportation of some large equipment often requires disassembly or special packaging, which not only increases transportation costs but may also cause damage to the equipment. The Fly Wing Container can provide sufficient space for super-large equipment by unfolding the side panels and top panels, ensuring that the equipment can be transported intact and safely.
In the construction industry, the transportation of glass has always been a problem. Glass products are large and fragile, and the internal space of ordinary containers is limited. When loading glass, not only a large amount of packaging materials are required to protect the glass, but also due to the narrow space, the glass is prone to collision and shattering during transportation. After a glass transportation company adopted the Fly Wing Container, the internal space utilization rate increased by 40% compared with ordinary containers, which enabled them to reduce the use of packaging materials by 20% while avoiding the problem of collision and shattering of glass in a narrow space. Through the Fly Wing Container, the safety and economy of glass transportation have been greatly improved.
Analysis of the three and four major application scenarios
1. Heavy equipment transportation
In the field of heavy equipment transportation, the advantages of the Fly Wing Container are particularly significant. For large equipment such as construction machinery and generator sets, traditional transportation methods often require the equipment to be disassembled before transportation, which increases the transportation cost and poses the risk of damage to the equipment during disassembly and assembly. The emergence of the Fly Wing Container has completely changed this situation. It allows large equipment to be hoisted directly through the side door through the deployable side panels, without tedious disassembly work.
When a mining machinery company transported large mining equipment, it used to use ordinary containers for transportation. Each time, it took a lot of time and manpower to disassemble and pack the equipment, and the transportation cost was high. After using the Fly Wing Container, the equipment can be directly hoisted into the container from the side, greatly shortening the loading and unloading time. According to statistics, after the company used the Fly Wing Container to transport equipment, the transportation cost was reduced by 18%, and the transportation cycle was shortened from the original 10 days to 7 days, which enabled them to deliver equipment to customers faster, improve customer satisfaction, and enhance the company’s market competitiveness.
2. Precision instrument logistics
For precision instruments that are sensitive to vibration, such as electronic products and medical equipment, stability during transportation is crucial. In traditional logistics transportation, these precision instruments are often damaged due to vibration and collision during transportation, causing huge economic losses to the company. The fully enclosed structure and shock-absorbing lining design of the Fly Wing Container provide a reliable transportation guarantee for precision instruments.
When a medical equipment manufacturer was transporting high-end medical imaging equipment, the damage rate of the goods was as high as 0.7% due to vibration problems during transportation. This not only required the company to bear high repair and replacement costs but also affected the customer experience and led to a decline in customer satisfaction. After the use of Fly Wing Containers, the situation was greatly improved. The fully enclosed structure of the Fly Wing Container effectively isolates the vibration and impact of the outside world, and the shock-absorbing lining further reduces the shaking of the goods during transportation. Through these measures, the damage rate of the goods of the medical equipment manufacturer has dropped from 0.7% to 0.1%, the transportation safety has been significantly improved, and the company’s operating costs have also been greatly reduced.
3. Emergency relief response
When natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods occur, time is life, and rapid response and efficient rescue are essential. With its rapid deployment characteristics, the Fly Wing Container has become a powerful assistant in emergency relief. It can be quickly deployed as a temporary medical station, command center, or material warehouse in a short time, providing necessary support for rescue work.
In a flood control operation in a certain place in 2024, the flood was fierce, and the local rescue work faced huge challenges. At the critical moment, 30 Fly Wing Containers were urgently deployed to the disaster area. Under the operation of professionals, these Fly Wing Containers were deployed in just 6 hours and quickly built an emergency rescue base covering 2,000 square meters. The temporary medical station provided timely treatment for the injured, the command center ensured the orderly progress of the rescue work, and the material warehouse stored a large amount of rescue materials, providing a solid guarantee for the victory of flood control and disaster relief work. The outstanding performance of the Fly Wing Container in this flood control operation fully demonstrated its important value in the field of emergency rescue.
