Customer requirements
- Replace the unhandy mesh box pallets and heavy weight steel containers in use by an alternative load carrier.
- The new load carrier must be good for high load capacities and have a long service life.
- Appropriateness for all storage and transport requirements.
- Easier handling and a better use of storage volume compared to mesh box pallets.
Customer benefits
- Substantial gain of space in production and storage areas as the 800x600 mm format allows to fill small spaces.
- Reduced space requirements by stacking containers.
- Near 100% availability since the SL86 is not prone to repairs. Empty containers can be moved without powered service vehicles.
- In contrast to a mesh box pallet, two SL86 containers fit the dimensions of a European standard pallet, do not project and are therefore suited for high bay storage.
- Best operational performance with easy-to-handle drop-door
- Instant product identification and immediate access to all product lines.
