Special load carriers
What is a special load carrier?
A special load carrier is a custom-built load carrier designed to store and transport goods with unique dimensions and requirements. These carriers are integrated seamlessly into an operation’s processes, which make them an ideal solution for manufacturers. Their tailored specifications are what distinguish them from mesh boxes and other standard load carriers.
Optimizing your logistics with special load carriers
Customized solutions come into play when conventional load carriers for storage, delivery or internal logistics have reached their limits. Customers from a wide variety of industries make use of our special load carriers to ensure reliable support along the entire production and delivery chain. Our goal is to make sure your fragile, complex goods are kept safe from damages that can occur during transport and handling, while at the same time helping you to streamline your material handling and production processes.
Special load carriers provide the following benefits
Made to measure
No matter the dimensions of your goods, we can build a precision-fit container to match.
Avoiding workplace accidents
Precision-fit load carriers can help prevent workplace accidents that result from handling complex and bulky parts.
Seamless process integration
Your processes are analyzed and taken into consideration during the load carrier design phase to ensure a seamless integration upon completion.
Reducing freight costs
Thanks to optimized packing density with less empty space, you benefit from reduced freight costs.
Safe transport
Special load carriers protect your products from damages during transport.
Less packaging waste
A special load carrier reduces the need for stretch wrap and other packaging materials by providing built-in tailored protection for your goods.
Your path to a custom-built special load carrier
As we discuss a solution tailored to your unique logistics challenges, we’ll guide you through an honest consultation process:
01. Inquiry/consultation
- Working together, we identify your wishes and requirements
- Technical documentation is prepared
- Consultation is provided that focuses on the intended purpose of the container(s)
- Study of costs and implementation is conducted (feasibility study)
- Targets are defined
02. Proposal
- A draft concept is created and construction expenses estimated
- Materials are defined (e.g., steel, PE elements, retaining elements)
- A specifications sheet is prepared
- Manufacturing costs are determined
03. Design
- A kick-off meeting is held with the customer (presentation of the project team, project plan and draft concept)
- The 3D concept is prepared and presented, if desired with standard CAD programs such as Catia, Siemens NX or Solid Works
- Desired changes are implemented
- Following customer approval, production documentation is prepared
04. Implementation
- A sample is prepared for customer approval
- Following sample approval, a series audit report is prepared
- Pre-series production for customer approval commences
- Series production commences, including continuous monitoring of the production process and quality control
05. Project conclusion
- Achieved project targets are assessed and milestone markers reviewed
- Optimization potentials for future projects are identified
- Customer satisfaction is assessed
- Results are integrated into a CIP (continual improvement process)
