Most swap body containers now on the market are made of traditional steels. As a result, the rough handling to which containers are subjected, together with corrosion, often lead to high repair costs.

In brief, the benefits of high strength steels ought to be put to use in the production of tomorrow’s containers. The fact that much less high strength steel is needed to achieve the same strength as that obtained when using traditional steels.

A container made of high strength steel cuts down on the total number of journeys and thus reduces the fuel consumption for a given shipment. These lighter containers can also be designed so that they have better aerodynamic properties, which also reduces the fuel costs.
