Refurbishment is a practical solution for companies that want to reduce fleet maintenance costs, decrease waste, and maintain warehouse continuity.

Health and safety standards for safety and durability
A refurbished container is stable, maintains geometry enabling stacking, and poses no risk to employees.
Maintaining operational continuity

Refurbishment vs. purchasing a new carrier
The cost depends on the scope of refurbishment agreed with the client. It amounts to a maximum of 1/3 of the container’s value. In practice, a maximum of up to 40 EUR per unit. Refurbishment is most cost-effective when it reduces unit cost without compromising operational parameters.

6 steps to refurbishment
The refurbishment process is conducted in stages to thoroughly assess the condition of containers, determine the scope of work, restore operational parameters and anti-corrosion protection, and conclude the service with quality control and documentation.
1
Preliminary assessment and qualification.
Based on information (carrier type, quantity, nature of damage, photographic documentation), we preliminarily determine the direction: refurbishment, refurbishment with component replacement, or another solution.
2
Technical assessment at the facility.
After receiving the containers, a detailed assessment is performed. If necessary, the carrier is disassembled to inspect structural elements and identify defects not visible "at first glance."
3
Repair qualification.
Register of defects qualified for repair.
4
Determining the scope of refurbishment.
After assessment and repair qualification, the precise scope of work is determined.
5
Refurbishment execution.
Commencement of the refurbishment process based on agreed conditions. The choice of solution depends on the terms of cooperation and client requirements.
6
Quality control and documentation.
After assembly, the carrier is inspected for functionality and safety of use. As standard, documentation of completed work is provided (post-refurbishment protocol). Warranty in accordance with the terms of cooperation.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to questions about container refurbishment
Various logistics carriers can be refurbished, including gitterboxes, roll cages, metal pallets, pallet collars, and other structures used in intralogistics – provided the technical condition allows for the restoration of operational parameters.
Not only. We also refurbish carriers not manufactured by us. The possibility of refurbishment depends on the carrier type and its technical condition. In practice, the qualification and cost-effectiveness of refurbishment are assessed, regardless of the carrier’s origin.
Yes. As standard, documentation confirming the completed scope of refurbishment is provided (post-refurbishment protocol).
Turnaround time depends on the volume and scope of work (e.g., scale of repairs, scope of replacements, required surface protection). The deadline is established at the order acceptance stage. However, it can be assumed that the maximum time is 2 weeks from the moment of delivery to Elkom Trade’s facility in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski.
In such cases, a recommendation is presented: refurbishment of selected units, refurbishment with replacement of larger modules, or another cost- and operationally optimal solution. A similar approach can be applied to warehouse rack refurbishment, if their technical condition permits.
