Pallet box solution for large volume transportation

03 October 2016

A robust sleeve pack container – CabCube 1210 – was introduced by Goplasticpallets.com at this year’s IMHX event. Manufactured by CABKA-IPS, it is suitable for transporting large loads of components for just-in-time deliveries to production lines and warehouses.

Comprising a moulded open or closed base, a collapsible sleeve and a lid for high strength, the CabCube 1210 also provides a reliable stacking capacity. Due to the accurate injection moulding manufacturing process, the containers’ robustness, precision and longevity absorbs rough handling and hard impacts.

The company says the CabCube 1210 base pallet can replace traditional 'thick sided FLC’s' at only 65% of the cost. Furthermore, the lid is precisely contoured to allow the containers to sit safely and securely when stacked. This design is already in use with a major European car manufacturer, who has hundreds of thousands of these in its packaging fleet.

With a maximum stacking load of 1500kg, the CabCube comes on nine feet and features a solid black PE base and lid, with a grey PP sleeve. Measuring 1210mm (L) x 1010mm (W) x 990mm (H), the new sleeve pack container is suitable for transportation of large volume parts. With a load capacity of 875L and maximum load of 500kg, it can be stacked up to five high with 250kg of product in each or up to three high with 500kg in each.

At just 39kg, the three section CabCube 1210 is still very light and easy to handle since the lid has two web handles to make lifting it on and off easy, and it can pack down to just 222mm which saves space in both storage and transit. In just a few steps, the sleeve can be collapsed to rest between the pallet and lid, thereby achieving a volume reduction of up to 80% for a cost effective and CO2 efficient return transport.

It is possible to fit 78 containers in a 13.6m mega trailer and for the return journey it is possible to transport 364 empty containers in stacks of 14. Furthermore, the CabCube 1210 folds to half the height of the old traditional 'thick sided FLC', which run around empty in stacks of only six. For automotive and manufacturing companies that require customised partition packaging, it is possible to purchase the pallet and cover without the sleeve.
