Custom-Engineered Dry Shipping Containers for Raw Rubber Storage

Synopsis

A global tyre manufacturer faced a critical challenge storing raw rubber, which expands when exposed to heat, causing overcrowding in their standard dry containers. The client needed a solution that would increase storage capacity without expanding the warehouse footprint due to spatial constraints. Our team designed and delivered customized dry containers with increased height, providing 40% more storage volume within the same footprint. This innovative and scalable solution improved storage efficiency, safety, and prevented material wastage helping the client maintain operational excellence.

About the Client:

Global leader in tyre manufacturing, known for quality, precision engineering, and operational efficiency. Headquartered in France, serves markets worldwide and manufactures tyres for automobiles, trucks, aircraft, and heavy-duty equipment. Their logistics operations require strict compliance with material handling standards, especially for storing and transporting rubber, a critical raw material in tyre production.

Objective:

Address the problem of rubber expansion inside standard containers that compromise storage efficiency and safety.
Deliver a storage solution that increases capacity without increasing the container footprint, respecting warehouse layout constraints.
Provide a practical, scalable, and cost-effective solution aligned with Clients operational needs.

Challenges:

Standard 20x8x8.6 ft dry containers became overcrowded due to rubber expansion when exposed to heat, creating safety and efficiency concerns.
Warehouse Space restrictions prevented increasing the length or width of containers, so the solution needed to preserve the existing footprint while significantly increasing storage volume.
It was essential to ensure safety and efficiency without disrupting existing warehouse operations.

Our Approach:

Designed a customized dry container measuring 20x8x12 ft, increasing the height by 3.4 ft over the standard unit and increasing internal storage volume by 40% to allow rubber to expand safely without overflow.

Delivered a solution that maintained the existing container footprint to fit within warehouse space limitations.

Ensured the design was scalable, practical, and cost-effective to meet operational requirements.

Solutions Delivered:

Supplied over 50 custom high-cube dry containers, providing significantly more storage capacity while fitting within the existing warehouse layout and preventing material wastage caused by overcrowding.

The solution improved warehouse safety, set a benchmark in client satisfaction and technical accuracy, and strengthened the partnership for future collaborations.

Crystal Group continues to provide exceptional service and maintenance support to ensure long-term container performance.

Measurable Results:

Successfully prevented raw rubber material wastage by accommodating its expansion safely, improved warehouse safety, and optimized space utilization without needing warehouse expansion.

Enhanced operational efficiency by providing a scalable and cost-effective storage solution, while delivering a solution that aligned with strict material handling and operational standards.

Strengthened client trust and satisfaction through responsive service and innovative problem-solving.

Client Testimonial:

“Crystal Group’s team understood our challenge with rubber expansion and offered a simple yet brilliant solution. Their customized containers solved the problem without requiring any change to our existing layout. We’re very satisfied with their quality and service.”
