DACHSER optimizes its pioneering rolling container for store deliveries

Bringing clothing to retail without wrinkles or creases is the ultimate achievement in the transportation of fashion items. To attain it, DACHSER Fashion Logistics has developed a special rolling container for hanging and flat garments. The Retail Box (formerly Roll&GOH) can be easily transported on the truck bed together with other palleted goods and is easy for the driver to roll into the receiving fashion shop. Having launched this container around five years ago, DACHSER has now further optimized it and offers two different-sized models: Retail Box classic and small. When making these enhancements, DACHSER also considered the box’s potential for other sectors in which the stores to be supplied are often located in city centers, including the cosmetics industry and, increasingly, the electronics sector. There are no plans, however, to use it for shipping food.
