By implementing the Hydraulic Container Loading System, WoHo revolutionised their loading processes, enabling seamless and efficient operations for their global projects.
This case study explores the collaboration, highlighting how pur innovative solution addressed WoHo's unique logistical needs, while offering flexibility for unloading operations at destination sites.
WoHo, short for World Home, is at the forefront of transforming the construction industry through modular design and manufacturing. Their mission is to provide ecological, affordable living and working spaces by prefabricating components in factories and shipping them globally in standard 40-foot containers.
WoHo’s approach reduces environmental impact while maintaining high construction standards. By using a modular method, they aim to address global challenges such as housing shortages, sustainability, and affordability, setting a new benchmark in the construction sector.
WoHo faced a critical logistical challenge during their Barbados project, where they were constructing a fully prefabricated research laboratory. The components, manufactured in Madrid, had to be safely transported across the Atlantic in standard 40-foot containers and efficiently unloaded on-site.
Traditional container-loading methods, such as forklifts, were unsuitable for handling the large, pre-assembled components. The irregular size and heavy weight of the loads required precise handling to avoid damage and ensure worker safety. Additionally, forklifts presented risks such as tipping, uneven load distribution, and inefficiency at both the loading and unloading sites.
Time constraints compounded the issue. The project’s tight schedule required a solution that could load and unload components swiftly while maintaining the integrity of the structures. Furthermore, the system needed to be portable, adaptable, and operable at both WoHo’s Madrid facility and the Barbados assembly site.
These factors underscored the need for a modular, purpose-built solution capable of meeting WoHo's ambitious project requirements.
Joloda Hydraroll’s Hydraulic Container Loading System offered the ideal solution to WoHo’s logistical challenges. The system's key features include:
We also provided a comprehensive solution package, including a custom-designed platform, pallets, cargo securing tools, and on-site training.
Our experts worked closely with WoHo’s operational staff to ensure they were equipped to handle their own cargo and site-specific challenges. This like-for-like training approach ensured seamless implementation and prepared WoHo for additional container transports in the future.
The adoption of our Hydraulic Container Loading System delivered measurable results for WoHo’s operations, addressing safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness while enabling scalable solutions.

The Hydraulic Container Loading System is based on the Joloda Skate & Track principle; two modular skates which lift and roll the load inside the container.

Borja Soriano, WoHo Project Manager, shared his satisfaction with the solution:
"The Hydraulic Skate and Track Loading System provided a seamless way to load and unload our prefabricated components into containers. It reduced handling time, ensured the safety of our team, and supported our mission to innovate construction processes worldwide."
Mark Drummen, EU Sales Manager at Joloda Hydraroll, also expressed pride in the project:
"It’s incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact our Hydraulic Skate and Track Loading System has had on WoHo’s operations. Helping WoHo overcome their logistical challenges and ensuring the safe, efficient loading and unloading of their prefabricated components for the Barbados project has been a true testament to the value of our solutions.
Seeing this system in action in such a forward-thinking and innovative project is a proud moment for Joloda Hydraroll. It’s a great example of how our modular systems can support ambitious global initiatives, and we look forward to continuing to help companies like WoHo transform their operations."
