Container in Frankfurt: what matters locally
Rhine-Main is a densely built-up economic region with logistics, the area around the airport, retail, trade fairs and construction sites. Space is scarce and expensive, and access for a truck with a loader crane is often the deciding factor.
Around Frankfurt Airport and the trade fair grounds, space for temporary storage is in demand. For short-notice setups, events and construction sites, it pays to clarify access and the drop-off location early. Before you order, we go through the site area, the clearance height of gateways and passages, and the offloading method with you, so that the container is in the right place on the first attempt.
Typical project in Frankfurt
An organiser needs a kiosk or storage container in a preferred colour for a trade fair week. He chooses a one-way container that looks almost new and has it painted. We coordinate the date and drop-off location with him, deliver within the agreed time window and plan the removal in advance. This way the container is in place on time and nobody has to improvise on setup day.
