Shipping container provider Royal Wolf has opened a new facility in Cromwell to meet growing demand for container solutions in the Central Otago and Southern Lakes regions.
Paul Creighton, Royal Wolf Executive General Manager, says the ongoing development of Queenstown and Wanaka was key to the decision to open the new facility. “The demand got to the point where we could no longer service the area from our Dunedin, Invercargill and Christchurch branches,” he said. “The region has undergone huge growth and continues to develop further creating demand from people wanting containers for everything from storage through to container offices, pedestrian walkways, and lunchrooms or construction sites.”
Over the last three years Royal Wolf has supplied containers for large scale projects such as the Kawarau Falls Bridge near Queenstown.
“Our Building and Construction range, which includes the Wolf Lock Safety container, container offices, lunchrooms and walkway hoardings, can be stacked on top of each other to save space on worksites while still providing customers with the amenities they need to get the job done.” The Wolf Lock Safety Container has been hugely successful since being released in the market a year ago, says Royal Wolf, and provides a higher level of safety than traditional containers by removing the risk of people getting locked inside and using a single lever to open.
Creighton says there is also a strong market for Royal Wolf’s specialist 10-foot and 8-foot Mini Cube containers as storage solutions.
Cromwell will be managed by David Grieve, a born and bred local who has relocated back to the area after a stint in Australia.
