JETTAINER, German container management services provider to the air cargo industry, has inaugurated its logistics centre for unit load devices (ULDs) at Frankfurt Airport. The logistics centre, called 'JettHub', in the Four Parx Gross-Gerau offers space for up to 6,600 containers and pallets at the same time.
The centre, with an an area of 18,000 square metres, has all the resources to ensure efficient and reliable handling and maintenance of the devices, reports Mumbai's The STAT Trade Times.
Larger and modern stackers and racks allow for a more efficient use of the storage area, so that more than twice as many ULDs can be stored and maintained in the same area.
'With the modern JettHub, we are securing long-term development potential for the management and maintenance of the world's largest fleet of ULDs,' said Jettainer operations chief Frank Muhlenkamp.
'The move has not only given us more space, but also created additional opportunities for further growth thanks to efficient shelving systems,' he said.
As part of the close cooperation with Jettainer, packaging services provider Deufol SE has also moved its workshop to the new JettHub. Here, it carries out maintenance and repair work on pallets and containers in a hall-in-hall construction. This is to ensure that there is no background noise outside the hall from the neighbouring metalworking company.
