Malcolm Logistics 50’ Big Box Container is set to revolutionise the way goods will be moved in the future.  In parallel, we have also engineered a versatile new trailer which is easily and safely extended to accommodate our new super-sized containers.

Our customers now have the facility to move 15% more freight per journey (over the largest available conventional container).  And by using a combination of our eco-friendly Road and Rail services, we are able to achieve a 13% reduction in CO2 emissions per pallet.

Malcolm Logistics big box and trailer innovations could make the difference to your business from both financial and green prospective.
