Is Your Export Container Shipping 30% Empty Space?

The Logistics of Geometry: Fitting 112 Racks in a 40HQ

In the export business, volume is money. Many competitors use standard “off-the-shelf” racks that leave 20-30cm of gaps when loaded into a container. Across a 40-foot container, these gaps add up to huge losses.

We designed the Agrack specifically for the internal dimensions of a standard 40-foot High Cube container. When collapsed, the racks stack neatly in columns of 7 or more, interlocking perfectly to prevent shifting at sea. This allows a density of 112 units per container. If you are operating a closed-loop supply chain where racks are returned, this means one return shipment services multiple outbound shipments, drastically improving your ROI compared to disposable wooden crating.

Designed for the Muddy Construction Site, Not Just the Warehouse

Getting the windows to the destination port is only half the battle. The real challenge begins at the construction site. Unlike the smooth concrete floors of your factory, a job site is often uneven, muddy, and chaotic.

Standard “shop carts” with small casters get stuck in the dirt. Wooden pallets break when dragged. The Agrack is built for this rough environment. We include Crane Lifting Hooks as a standard feature, allowing tower cranes to lift bundles of windows directly from the truck to the 20th floor. For ground handling, our 4-Way Forklift Entry base ensures that telehandlers can pick up the rack from any angle—crucial in tight, cluttered unloading zones where maneuvering space is limited.

Eliminating “Shipping Damage” Disputes

Nothing kills a client relationship faster than a container of broken glass. Vibration during ocean transit and shock during rail transport are the enemies. Wooden crates flex and loosen over weeks of travel; steel racks do not.

By securing your windows with our integrated ratchet strap hooks and resting them against steel-core rubber strips, you create a rigid, unified package. The rack absorbs the kinetic energy of the ship’s movement, not the glass. This structural rigidity ensures that the product the customer unloads is in the exact same condition as the product you inspected at your factory.

A Sustainable Asset for Your Supply Chain

In an era where ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) scores matter, relying on single-use lumber packaging is becoming a liability. Switching to a reusable, metal transport system not only reduces your long-term packaging spend but also positions your company as a sustainable partner to your downstream customers. You stop generating dumpster loads of wood waste at every job site and start building a circular logistics loop.
