In managing the internal logistics of supermarkets, Roll Containers play a key role, offering specific solutions for different needs.
Two-sided roll containers
It is perfect for transporting goods within the store, especially in narrow aisles where traditional pallets are cumbersome. This version offers a good compromise between containment and accessibility, makes it easy to transport bulky packaging, empty boxes and waste, and is particularly useful for carton disposal directly from the aisles. Its ease of use allows for faster processes, reducing operational time.
Nestable Roll Containers
It stands out for its ability to optimize logistics during transport and aisle reassortment. Equipped with shelves, it is ideal for bringing products directly to display areas, maintaining order and speeding up reassortment operations. Its standardized measurements with respect to internal dimensions allow for maximum use of space in vehicles, eliminating unnecessary waste. In addition, thanks to the nestable design, these carts can be nested inside each other when empty, allowing them to reduce the footprint on return trips by a ratio of 3 to 1. This means that with just one return trip, previously shipped Roll Containers can be picked up with three transports, cutting down on time and costs, without having to employ personnel to disassemble them, as is the case with traditional solutions.
Why can Roll Container security be indispensable in supermarkets?
In the day-to-day operation of a supermarket or retail store, the handling of high-value goods presents a logistical and security challenge. Security Roll Containers (also known as Anti-theft Roll Containers ) are designed to protect cargo at every stage: from the central warehouse to the shelf.
Here are the 3 reasons why they cannot be missed in your fleet:
1. Theft and tampering prevention (Loss prevention)
Alcohol, small appliances and cosmetics are prime targets for theft. With its narrow mesh (50×50 mm) and padlockable or sealable door, the Roll Container Security prevents unauthorized pickup during the warehouse-corridor route or while temporarily stationed between departments or in the warehouse.
2. Protection of sensitive goods
In addition to theft, the enclosed structure on four sides and on the roof prevents parcels from accidentally falling during quick maneuvers in the aisle, drastically reducing breakage and wasted goods due to accidental collisions with shopping carts.
3. Traceability and management of returns
The use of closed Roll Containers makes it possible to create a “seal” traceability system. It is the ideal solution for managing valuable returns to distribution centers (Ce.Di.), ensuring that the contents arrive at their destination exactly as they were loaded.
Technical features designed for large-scale retail trade:
- Integral structure: full closure on 4 sides and metal roof.
- Anti-snatching mesh: prevents manual extraction of products, even small ones (5×5 cm mesh)
- Electrolytic galvanizing: bright and durable finish, ideal for public display, and unaffected by liquids, weather, dust and dirt.
- Modularity: compatible with adjustable internal shelves to separate loads.
