What is a special load carrier - Our definition
We are often asked what a special load carrier actually is. We define an SLT as follows:
A special load carrier (SLT for short) is an individually designed load carrier created for the transportation and storage of goods with special requirements. Special load carriers integrate seamlessly into a company's processes and are therefore an ideal solution for manufacturing companies in particular. Their individuality makes them stand out clearly from pallet cages and other load carriers from the standard range.

How to optimize your logistics with special load carriers
Customized special solutions are required when the use of conventional load carriers for storage, delivery or internal logistics reaches its limits. Customers from a wide range of industries receive reliable support from our special load carriers at various points in the production and supply chain. The aim is to protect your sensitive and highly complex goods from damage that can occur during transport and goods handling, while at the same time optimizing your material handling and production processes. There are numerous advantages to using special load carriers.
The advantages of special load carriers
Made to measure
Regardless of the dimensions of your goods, special load carriers are always made to measure.
Avoid accidents at work
Prevent accidents at work when handling complex and bulky parts with the right load carrier.
Seamless process integration
When designing a special load carrier, your processes are analyzed to ensure that the finished container fits in seamlessly.
Reduce freight costs
Freight costs can be saved thanks to optimized packing density and reduced empties dimensions.
Optimum product protection
A special load carrier protects your products from damage during transportation and in the warehouse.
Less packaging waste
A special load carrier saves on disposable packaging material, as the goods transported in it are ideally protected.
Project planning - What the path to a customized special load carrier looks like
Consultation phase
- Determination of customer requirements and wishes
- Customer communication (end customer)
- Compilation of the technical documentation
- Needs-based advice according to the intended use of the containers
- Cost and implementation analysis (feasibility study)
- Definition of the target state
- Kick-off meeting with the customer
Development and concept phase (R&D)
- Presentation of an elaborated 3D concept, optionally with the common CAD programs Catia, Siemens NX or Solid-Works
- Incorporation of the customer's change requests
- Creation of production documents after validation and approval of the CAD design
Procurement phase
- Starting the sourcing process
- Creation of an offer overview
- Creating an order (PO)
Project monitoring in the realization phase
- Regular project controlling (costs and deadlines) during project realization
- Status reports
- Presentation sample
- Participation in customer meetings
- Series production and continuous monitoring of the production process and product quality
Project completion
- Review of project goals achieved and adherence to milestones
- Identification of optimization potential for future projects
- Recording customer satisfaction
- Integration of the results into a CIP (continuous improvement process)
Sustainable special load carriers
in a modular system
We design your special load carriers on the basis of a modular system - individually and sustainably. The re-use option for follow-up projects not only saves you money, but also shortens development and delivery times and protects the environment.
- The basis is a galvanized base frame of the same design
- Standardized fastening options for the interior structure
- Base frame variable in length and width
- Re-use option of the basic framework for follow-up projects
- Resource-saving recycling of the existing interior structure
Special load carriers for automated processes
With the latest technologies and robot types, the degree of automation in the manufacturing industry is continuously increasing. The most common arguments for the use of intelligent robot technology include increased performance, efficiency and quality as well as the time factor. To support this process, special load carriers are required that can be automatically loaded and unloaded or loaded by robots.
Accuracy is the decisive factor for success. We meet this requirement through precise production and adjustment of the load carriers and subsequent measurement using a laser measuring system.
What distinguishes special load carriers from Schneider
Our focus is on protecting your goods. That's why load carriers must fit into your operational processes and internal logistics in the best possible way or complement them ideally. This is the only way to optimize the material flow and increase the efficiency of your processes with intelligent solutions.
Many people think that custom-fit load carriers are too expensive. We think differently! Together with you, we develop and design a special load carrier that offers maximum protection for your components. Efficient loading and unloading is a matter of course, regardless of whether this is done manually or automatically by robot. Our 60 years of experience in the development, design and manufacture of containers enables us to take a practical approach, on the basis of which we develop a maximally efficient complete solution for you at a fair price.
