Kimura, Inc. offers steel containers, built to last. Instead of using disposable cardboard or plastic containers, use steel for extra strength and load capacity. For example, Kimura's U series container is 48 in x 30 in x 33 in assembled and is only 14¼ in high when folded.

In past years, steel containers were built of heavy gage steel materials that made them very strong but heavy and costly to use, but new technology and production processes have changed this situation. Kimura uses CAD/CAM equipment to make lighter containers that still retain the strength and load capacity and are extremely cost effective in terms of ROI. Rather than measuring the number of round trips you can expect from a plastic container before it has to be replaced, measure steel containers in years of service.
