25. August 2021Transport large volume cargo safely and efficiently. With the new MegaPack ALPHA 1500 x 800 and BETA 1800 x 800 from Söhner Kunststofftechnik, this is achieved. The foldable plastic transport containers combine a large usable volume with ergonomic handling and high volume reduction.
(Schwaigern) With the MegaPack ALPHA 1500 x 800 x 800 and MegaPack BETA 1800 x 800 x 800, the packaging manufacturer from Southern Germany has expanded its range of foldable large load carriers with two large-format standard solutions. Due to the large usable volumes of 667 liters and 748 liters, respectively, and a payload of up to 350 kg, the plastic containers are suitable for transporting large-volume automotive components with comparatively low weight, such as seat frames, coverings, and wiring. However, lightweight parts from machine and plant engineering, electrical device technology, or aerospace also find space in the spacious large load carriers.
High Volume Reduction
The MegaPack ALPHA, with dimensions of 1500 x 800 x 800 mm, consists of three components: a 9-foot twin-sheet pallet, a folding ring, and a twin-sheet lid. Deep-drawn pallet feet ensure that the pallet is nestable. This, along with the folding of the ring, allows for a volume reduction of up to 75 percent in storage and empty transport. To prevent bending during handling with forklifts at this length, the pallet can be reinforced with steel struts. Two grip loops optionally improve the handling of the lid.
Easy and Quick Handling
The MegaPack BETA, with dimensions of 1800 x 800 x 800 mm, can be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled despite its size. The folding can be done alone and is completed in a few seconds. The folding ring is folded and stored between the pallet and the lid. Two grip recesses facilitate the repositioning of the lid. The MegaPack BETA also features a waterproof lid, as it does not require locks. The fixation of the folding ring is taken care of by locking noses located on the inside of the lid.
Optimal Utilization of the Truck for Full and Empty Goods
Both new large load carriers are accessible from all four sides and are offered as standard with a system height of 800 mm. This offers the advantage that with a 3-tier stacking, the interior height of a truck of about 2.40 meters is optimally utilized. Additionally, the folding of the systems guarantees a high utilization of the loading volume during the return of empty containers and storage.
