Containers Direct Ltd

All of our new AGRADE shipping containers implement patented EOD &/ EOD2 technology.

Only one right door handle, so no need to use both hands when opening.
Longer handle provides better leverage when opening and closing, meaning that the door will open with a lighter pull.
Rubber grip on the handle, provides a safer and more comfortable grip.
Grease fittings on the hinges provide smoother operation, throughout the box life.
Secura cam/keeper at bottom of locking rod for additional security if needed.

The new EOD2 however has a simplified one-move easy motion. The locking rod is also positioned more centrally on the door which provides more “lift” off the door seal from the door frame. This system is more user friendly and results in a much smoother door action.
