Here at CS Shippng Containers we have been missing the Olympics. Susan, who handles the logistics side of the business has, in particular, been missing the swimming. So, at coffee we got talking about the recent posts we have filed about shipping containers being converted into all sorts of amazing things and linked it to the upcoming 2012 Olympics in London.

Apart from her talents in keeping calm and organising everybody so your cargo containers get to where they are meant to, on time and in the right conditition, Susan is an amazing artist. It didn’t take her long to come up with these 3 simple and fun ideas.

OK. We admit none of this is very likely, but it does make the point that, as our previous posts show, 20ft or 40ft containers are very versatile - not only as a source of inspiration for Susan!

CS Shipping Containers are absolutely delighted that the Aces Basketball Team based at Stoke Mandeville have asked them for a bespoke shipping container to house their specially adapted wheelchairs when not in use.

The team have chosen a 20ft container to have an extra wide door with a ramp to make accessibility for the wheelchairs as easy as possible. The specially angled wheels are slanted for stability, manouevrability and speed so that the games are fast and furious.

Their coach, who has been out to Beijing this year, is hopeful that some of the members of the Aces will be able to take part in the London Olympics 2012!

We can’t wait to take another photograph when the shipping container store is in use in about a month’s time - and hopefully stay and watch the Aces in a match so we can cheer them on!!
