Automotive

In the automotive supply chain, one of the biggest risks is damage caused to parts and components in transit, particularly as transport distances become more extended. Totebox reusable plastic containers are used through every stage of vehicle construction, safely handling and distributing parts and components.

Totebox containers help users to eliminate damage, reduce packaging waste and save money in the automotive supply chain:

● Plastic containers protect delicate parts and components from damage while in transit.

● Plastic containers are capable of performing over numerous delivery cycles and, at the end of their working life, are fully recyclable.

● Plastic containers help to speed up delivery of goods to line side.

● Printed with owner’s logo & contact details and manufactured in corporate colours they can also provide a valuable marketing function.

Designed around a standard 600 x 400mm footprint, plastic Euro containers integrate with common pallet sizes, manual handling equipment and many automated systems. As the name implies, they are the common crate size for use throughout Europe, including the UK.

Euro containers stack snuggly on both Euro and UK pallets. The containers’ 600 x 400mm footprint stacks in four columns on 1200 x 800mm Euro pallets and in five columns on 1200 x 1000mm UK pallets. Euro containers also integrate with standard handling and storage systems, such as wheeled dollies, shelving units, live storage systems and conveyors.

Totebox Euro stacking containers allow users to create modular handling and distribution units with containers of different base dimensions inter-stacking to form compact loads. Half size 400 x 300mm models stack 2-up (side-by-side) on 600 x 400mm containers, which in turn stack 2-up on 800 x 600mm containers. Totebox also supply 200 x 150mm and 300 x 200mm models.

Totebox Euro stacking containers are tough, heavy duty storage boxes. Each model can carry unit loads of at least 25 Kg and stack up to ten high – a combined load of 250 Kg. Larger models have cut-out hand-holds for a more secure grip when manually lifting heavier loads. Some heavy-duty storage containers can carry loads of up to 50 Kg.

Euro stacking container accessories include lids, security seals, card clips, dividers and dollies.

Euro containers with lids protect the contents from rain, dust or other contaminants. Totebox also supply Euro stackers with an attached hinged lid which cannot become separated from the container and lost. They provide a degree of tamper evident security when fitted with ties or mini-padlocks.
