Container Stripping & Storage: One Yard, One Point of Contact
An import container arrives full, gets destuffed on our ramp, and the cargo is sorted onto pallets ready for onward delivery. What most yards forget is the box itself: once it is empty, it does not need to go anywhere. It rolls a few metres into our storage rows and waits there until the shipping line or the next job needs it. Stripping and keeping happen on the same ground, under the same booking.
How the Destuffing Flow Works
We treat stripping as a sequence, not a single event, so nothing sits idle waiting for the next step.
- Arrival & check-in: the container is weighed, seal number logged, and matched against your paperwork before the doors are opened.
- Destuffing on the ramp: loose cartons, drums or loose-loaded goods are unloaded by hand or forklift depending on cargo type.
- Palletising: cargo is sorted, stacked and wrapped onto pallets sized for your onward truck or for our racking.
- Delivery or hold: palletised goods either go straight out on a scheduled truck or move into short-term warehouse storage.
- Empty unit to storage: the stripped container is inspected, photographed and parked in our yard rows instead of being sent back empty.
Why the Empty Box Stays on Our Ground
Sending an empty container back out only to have it returned days later for the next load wastes a transport slot and adds handling risk. Keeping the unit in our storage rows after stripping means it is already on-site, already inspected, and ready the moment it is needed again — for re-stuffing, redelivery to the line, or simple interim parking while ownership or routing is sorted out.
