The idea of a foldable shipping container has been around for a number of years. With CARU Containers, European market leader in sales, leasing and renting containers, with the help of the guys at Holland Container Innovations HCI, the 4FOLD 40ft HC foldable container has gone from concept to realization.

There is a lot to gain both economically and environmentally with these containers. Four folded containers, take up as much space as one regular container when stacked. This means you would only need one truck to return four empty containers. The foldable container’s potential lies in routes where large stretches of land need to be covered by truck. This expensive way of transport makes for the biggest impact. Once unfolded, the 4FOLD is practically the same as a normal shipping container and can be used for any type of load. It is the only foldable container that is fully ISO and CSC certified.

Imagine a shipping container house folding and unfolding, ready to get it where you want or where you need it, just pack it up and ready to go elsewhere? Let’s not keep dreaming and make it real!
