Momentum's Container Repair Division launches container fabrication services

Sharjah, 15 March 2011: The rapidly expanding third-party logistics (3PL) company Momentum Logistics - part of the Gulftainer Group - has launched its latest initiative with the completion of its first 'Accommodation Unit'. The commencement of container fabrication services is another demonstration of Sharjah-based Momentum's ability to satisfy the needs of their customers.

Momentum Logistics takes pride in producing the highest standard of accommodation units on the market, from basic labour accommodation to executive suites, and its high-quality accommodation units are manufactured utilising new and pre-inspected second-hand CSC-plated containers. The production of accommodation units is a valued added service from the company's Container Repair Division.

The accommodation units are thoughtfully designed to cater for residents' needs - from easily accessible electrical sockets near the sleeping area and full safety systems, to shelves in the bathroom for storing accessories. Interiors are insulated with rock wool and lined MDF board to offer superb insulation in both the hottest and coldest environments. The bathrooms are coated with PVC plywood, and exhaust fans and water heaters are fitted as standard. Power is provided from a 32A industrial inlet socket concealed in the lower beam of the container, allowing for easy access.

Units are also manufactured to be completely in-gauge to reduce transport and shipping costs.

Commenting on the development, Container Repair Manager John Sparkes said, "I am pleased that we are continuing to meet our customers' requirements by diversifying into new related activities. Our long experience in the container repair and refurbishment business has allowed this transition to be accomplished with relative ease. This new development, helped by our existing reputation in the market, has already led to a number of further container modification enquiries - accommodation units are just the first step, as we grow the business".

With over 30 years experience in the industry, Momentum can design and modify a container to meet any requirements customers may have, offering robust and long-lasting accommodation units.

Momentum Logistics operates one of the largest trucking operations in the region, as well as a state-of-the-art vehicle maintenance and repair facility, a container repair depot and 35 warehouses within the Sharjah Inland Container Depot.
