Custom load carriers for the automotive industry – designed and manufactured to your specifications
Schneider Transport- und Lagerbehälter GmbH & Co. KG is not a catalog supplier. We are a development partner—from the initial rough concept through to ongoing series production. Our custom automotive load carriers are designed based on your specifications, design guidelines, and manufacturing infrastructure.
Whether you’re an OEM, Tier 1, or Tier 2 supplier: We speak your language—FMEA, PPAP, Declaration of Conformity, JIT/JIS, robot interface. And we provide load carriers that not only fit but also enhance your production line.

From Specifications to Production – Our Development Process
3D Design & Approval
Complete 3D model in Catia, NX, or SolidWorks. Iterative revisions until customer approval. No load-bearing component enters the
prototype production phase without your approval.
Component Analysis & Specification Development
Part drawings, weight,
surface finish, process environment, quantities, handling—we record everything that defines the load carrier at
.
Prototype Development & Process Validation
The prototype is tested on the actual component and in your production environment—robot interface, stacking test, and ergonomic evaluation. Acceptance by your process manager.
Mass production & ongoing support
Manufacturing in Germany and Poland. Repair services, retrofitting for model changes, and a declaration of conformity upon request. Your load carrier is supported throughout its entire service life.
E-mobility – new requirements, new load carriers
Battery modules, high-voltage storage systems, and electric drive units have different requirements than traditional internal combustion engine components: greater weight, different centers of gravity, special transport regulations, and electrostatic shielding.
Schneider develops custom packaging solutions for high-voltage components that incorporate the necessary safety features—tailored to your internal EHS guidelines and the requirements of your supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from Automotive Purchasing
Do you have questions about custom load carriers for the automotive industry? We’d be happy to answer your questions personally by phone or email. For the most common inquiries, you’ll find the answers you need in our FAQ.
Yes. We support the PPAP process and, upon request, provide complete initial sample documentation, including a dimensional report and a bill of materials.
Our modular system allows for the retrofitting of existing base frames. This saves costs and significantly reduces development time for the next generation.
Once the 3D design has been approved, it typically takes 8–10 weeks to produce the first prototype—depending on the complexity of the design and material procurement.
We have experience with German, European, and international OEM specifications. Please contact us regarding your specific standards.
We manufacture prototypes, pre-production samples, small-batch runs, and large-scale production runs of thousands of units per year.
