Abstract
To solve the problems of empty return and storage of empty containers (cost, safety) and for economic and environmental benefit, the new adjustable length container is the solution which should be able to increase or reduce its volume autonomously and in a few minutes. This will reduce the cost of transporting empty containers while respecting the standards containers in force size, strength, and devices used for handling and securing the means of road or rail shipping.
