Why shippers choose RootNode Fold
Container-level capacity
Three modules join to match a 40 ft container, so loads ship as they would in any standard box.
Foldable return trips
Empty boxes take up space and money on the way back. Folded units pack down to about 1.2 m thick.
Built for heavy cargo
Curved joints and internal ribs spread load instead of concentrating it at the corners.
Standard handling
Works with standard forklifts and pallet systems, and stacks up to three high when folded.
Folding takes minutes, not hours
Unfolding is the same process in reverse. Crews need no special equipment.
Release the locks
Open each quick-lock one by one.
Fold the side panels
Hinged side panels swing in.
Fold the top panels
Hinged top panels close down onto them.
Secure for transport
Strap the stack or lock the frame, then load it.
The RootNode joint
Inspired by how trees branch, the RootNode joint blends beams into a smooth curve instead of a sharp corner. That reduces stress concentration, and internal vertical and horizontal ribs carry load through the central core and into the frame.
Quick-lock in three actions
Align on the guiding surface, slide and lock with the cam mechanism, then verify with the visual indicator.
