Storage Containers Growing Popular Among Bicycle Manufacturers, According to Container Alliance

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Specialized Bicycles has chosen to use a 40 ft shipping container (High Cube) as an innovative way to transport and display their cutting edge bicycles. The use of the storage container in this way marks a new era for the transportation and container industry. DisplayIt, Inc. teamed up with Container Alliance, a provider of ISO containers for sale, for their project.

Container Alliance painted the container's interior and exterior, before delivering to DisplayIt, Inc. to perform the build-out. DisplayIt, Inc. decided to create two steel sliding doors that would easily become the entrance and exit. The Specialized traveling ISO container will be used as a display and fitting center for the new cutting edge Specialized bicycles. The container was transported to a facility in Santa Fe Springs where it will be used for display purposes in between expos.

The container's first stop was the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California. The 21st Annual Sea Otter Classic is a four-day "Celebration of Cycling" that welcomes over 8,000 athletes and 50,000 race fans and other bicycle enthusiasts. The Expo holds hundreds of vendors who display new products and offer samples and bargains.

Specialized is excited for the ease of set up, customization and portability of the display. The new container will help reduce 3-4 hours of set up time, when compared to tents used in the past. The container display truly sets Specialized apart from the other vendors at the event. Specialized will use the container at each stop of the upcoming Amgen Tour Of California.
