Damage-resistant attached lid container cuts transit costs

Goplasticboxes.com has introduced an improved attached lid container to its GoALC range which features a tessellating lid designed to minimise the likelihood of damage and maximise vehicle fill, therefore reducing transport costs.

Ben Messingham, UK sales manager for Goplasticboxes.com, said: “With your standard attached lid container you get what’s called lid flair. This means that when nested, the container lids flair over each other, making them more susceptible to damage.

“With our new tessellating lid design there is no overhang; lids secure in a vertical line when nested as empties, which provides much neater stacking and allows for up to 30 per cent greater vehicle fill."

He added: “When empty, our new attached lid container can be stacked 85 per pallet – in comparison to traditional designs which only carry 60 units. – which saves both space in storage and transit and lowers transportation costs since fewer return trips to the warehouse are required.

The lid tessellation is also said to ensure trouble-free operation with automated handling equipment and the tapered base creates a smooth transition across conveyors.

Another feature of Goplasticboxes.com’s new attached lid container is its low weight. Measuring 600mm (L) x 400mm (W), the container comes in three depths to suit individual load requirements:

  • the GoALC 64310 with a 310mm depth, storage capacity of 56 litres and weighs just 2.7kg
  • the GoALC 64365 with a 365mm depth, storage capacity of 65 litres and weighs 3.0kg, and
  • the GoALC 64400 with a 400mm depth, storage capacity of 77 litres and weighs 3.2kg.

The container can be used for multiple trips and provides safe, ergonomic handling and storage for a broad range of goods, from clothing and jewellery to cosmetics and books. Multiple recess locations in the sides of the container offer areas for barcodes and labels. For added protection during distribution, the containers can also be fitted with tamper-proof seals to prevent unauthorised access.

The hinged lid design means that it can be replacedquickly and easily .

Goplasticboxes.com’s new attached lid container comes in black or blue as standard. However, other colours are available for large orders.
