Reducing costs with Travel Skips

Besides offering a high-quality appearance and providing outstanding protection for your kit and equipment, aluminium kit skips can also make your life easier too.

Being exceptionally light, it ensures the kit skips are easy and safe to handle even when loaded with equipment. This is further helped by the comfortable, ergonomic handles. Should a case become too heavy when loaded, however, there are optional castors, wheels and trolleys that can further aid transportation. In fact, the lightweight nature of cases means they are ATA approved for international shipping via air (perfect for European away days or pre-season tours).

The interior (and exterior) surfaces are also hygienic and easy to clean. This means that your kit skips can be re-used over many hundreds (even thousands) of trips, even if they have been used for transporting muddy and/or wet kit back from training or matches. Their reusability, when coupled with the low cost of shipping/transit, also provides cost savings for your club.

Finally, besides your clubs branding, the exterior of the cases can be easily labelled or printed to allow for easy identification of the contents at a glance.

Case study: Walking Football Sponsorship

How GWP Protective helped

In April 2015, Farnborough’s over 50’s Walking Football club embarked on the first ever international Walking Football tournament to Portugal. Sponsored by the international tax and wealth management company Blevins Franks, teams from Farnborough, Hampshire and the Soccor Olhanense Strollers (SOS) joined in the over 50’s tournament at Olhao.

GWP Protective supported the Farnborough Walking Football team by supplying them with specialist Zarges aluminium kit skips to transport vital kit and medical equipment on this tour. Used to store the teams’ kit, physio bags, defibrillators, crutches, Cryocuffs and club footballs, it was also suitable for air freight and lockable to ensure that all items were kept safe too.
