Niche Logistics Containers

Niche Logistics containers started appearing around 6 months ago running primarily between Perth and Melbourne, with the some boxes running Perth to Sydney.  

It has taken me a while to get a shot, but finally, I scored FMHU 120232-1 on PS7 earlier this week.

The boxes are coded FMHU, with the FMH prefix representing the ownership of Niche by FMH Group.  Also within FMH group are large road transport companies like Bagtrans and Border Express. 

Based on sighting, there appears to be between 30-40 bright green general purpose 48ft containers with Niche, and 5 x curtain siders.  

Enjoy!

 

Wridgways

After going into liquidation in mid 2021, Wridgways containers quickly got rebranded to Royal Wolf after only being in service for about 24 months.  
From what I have seen, this batch was numbered from 401-750 or there abouts, with the WWRW code.  

Anyway, it is pretty rare to see a fully marked one still getting around as most have been rebranded with the Royal Wolf logo.  The below sightings are from May 2024. 

WWRW 000459 - In original condition

RWTU 000601 with the Royal Wolf logo

RWLU 000691 with the logo and HIRE ME panel.  I believe the 'L' stands for Wold Lock, which is a anti-theft design of door lock applied by Royal Wolf.

Prior to the green WWRW boxes, early Wridgways were a royal blue colour container and were coded WWTR and in the 990000 series.  There are also WWSF series which appear to be numbered pre 000400 series (probably 000001-000400), which were a light grey colour.  Many of these boxes were painted green prior to liquidation.
