Pallet containers

AUER pallet containers are closed large-load carriers in pallet format made from polypropylene for stackable storage and in-plant transport of bulk goods and piece goods. The range is divided into rigid big boxes (BBG series), collapsible big boxes with SC locking system, and oversized collapsible large-load carriers (GLT). The collapsible versions significantly reduce empty volume and lower return logistics costs in returnable packaging cycles.

Main formats	BBG 86, BBG 1208, BBG 1208R	KLG 1208K, BBG 1208K

Typical applications

Typical applications: Returnable logistics for bulk goods and piece goods in automotive and mechanical engineering, in-plant transport by forklift and pallet truck, hazardous goods transport with UN-approved variants, interim storage in manufacturing, and secured dispatch using the SC locking system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Pallet containers

What are AUER pallet containers and what industrial applications do they serve?

AUER pallet containers are heavy-duty industrial storage solutions designed for efficient warehousing, logistics, and material handling operations across manufacturing, automotive, and distribution sectors. These large-capacity containers feature standardized Euro pallet footprints of 1200x1000mm and accommodate various load requirements with heights ranging from 610mm to 1220mm. The GLT series offers foldable large load carriers with 1030mm working heights, while MBG and BBG series provide rigid big boxes with hinged lids for secure storage and transport of industrial components, spare parts, and bulk materials in automated warehouse systems.

What are the key technical selection criteria for choosing AUER pallet containers?

Technical selection for AUER pallet containers depends on load capacity requirements, operational temperature range, and handling methodology within your facility. The GLT 1210/125 series handles loads up to 1250kg with external dimensions of 1200x1000x1220mm, while collapsible variants like KLK 1210 offer space-saving storage when empty with 820mm heights. Material construction typically employs high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) with operating temperatures from -40°C to +60°C. Wall thickness, base reinforcement patterns, and corner post design determine suitability for automated handling systems, fork truck operations, or manual material flow processes.

Which standards and certifications apply to AUER pallet containers?

AUER pallet containers comply with ISO 3394 standards for modular dimensions and DIN 15146 specifications for large load carriers in material handling systems. UN-certified variants like the UN BBG 1210K SA meet ADR/RID dangerous goods transport regulations with UN approval markings for packaging hazardous materials. The standardized 1200x1000mm Euro pallet footprint ensures compatibility with ISO 6780 flat pallet dimensions and automated warehouse racking systems. Food-grade applications require FDA-compliant materials meeting EU Regulation 10/2011 for plastic food contact surfaces, while ATEX compliance may apply for containers used in explosive atmosphere zones.

What are the main differences between GLT, MBG, and KLK series AUER pallet containers?

GLT series containers are foldable large load carriers with 1030mm working heights designed for repetitive transport cycles, offering space savings when returned empty. MBG series represents medium-height big boxes with 820mm heights and hinged lids providing secure enclosed storage for sensitive components and materials requiring protection from contamination. KLK series features collapsible construction with four opening flaps allowing complete side access for manual loading operations while maintaining 820mm storage height. The +D designation indicates integrated drainage systems for outdoor applications, while R and K suffixes denote different base reinforcement patterns for specific load distribution requirements.

What installation requirements and system compatibility considerations apply to AUER pallet containers?

AUER pallet containers require standard Euro pallet handling equipment with fork truck tines spaced at 1200mm centers and minimum 2000kg lifting capacity for fully loaded GLT 1210/125 units. Automated storage and retrieval systems must accommodate container heights ranging from 610mm to 1220mm with appropriate clearance margins for mechanical handling. Racking systems need 1200x1000mm bay dimensions with load beam spacing calculated for distributed loads up to 1250kg per container. Conveyor integration requires compatible roller spacing at 50mm to 75mm intervals and belt systems capable of handling the container base design without deformation during transport operations.

What safety ratings and operating parameters apply to AUER pallet containers?

AUER pallet containers operate within temperature ranges from -40°C to +60°C for standard HDPE construction with higher temperature variants available for specific applications. Load capacity ratings range from 600kg to 1250kg depending on container series, with safety factors typically designed to 3:1 ratios under static loading conditions. The containers feature IP20 protection ratings suitable for indoor industrial environments, with drainage variants providing enhanced moisture management for outdoor storage applications. Material composition ensures chemical resistance to most industrial solvents, oils, and weak acids while maintaining structural integrity under repetitive loading cycles and impact stresses encountered in automated handling systems.

What maintenance schedules and service life expectations apply to AUER pallet containers?

AUER pallet containers require monthly visual inspections for crack propagation, corner damage, and base deformation with particular attention to high-stress areas around fork entry points and stacking interfaces. Service life typically ranges from 8 to 12 years under normal industrial use conditions with proper handling procedures, though automated systems may extend longevity through reduced impact stresses. Annual dimensional checks ensure continued compatibility with handling equipment and racking systems, while quarterly cleaning protocols maintain hygiene standards in food and pharmaceutical applications. Replacement indicators include visible stress whitening in plastic materials, permanent deformation exceeding 5mm, or any structural damage compromising load-bearing capacity or safe stacking performance.
