In industries where steel, concrete, machinery and hundreds of kilos of cargo dominate-. logistics must be reliable. Gitterboxes, or EPAL-compliant metal mesh containers, have been an indispensable piece of equipment in heavy industry for years. Their design, durability and customisability make them the ideal tool for storage, transport and optimising production. Find out why you should bet on Gitterboxes and how they make a real difference to the efficiency of an industrial plant.
Why does heavy industry need robust logistics solutions?
Difficult working conditions
Heavy industry plants are environments full of dust, noise, high temperatures and constant movement of people and machinery. Every piece of equipment from shelving to containers must be able to withstand the intensive use. In such conditions a poor-quality container will not only break down, but may endanger workers and equipment.
Safe transport and storage of heavy components
Gitterboxes are suitable for transporting engines, structural components, metal sub-assemblies or prefabricated parts. Thanks to steel frame, reinforced corners and the ability to lift from either side, they ensure safety both during transport with a forklift and in truck or rail transport.
Gitterbox as damage-resistant and overload-resistant carrier
Standard Gitterbox EPAL withstands a static load of up to 1500 kg. The welded construction and 50×50 mm mesh protect the load, while additional elements such as flaps or doors allow ergonomic loading without risk of injury.
What are the distinctive features of Gitterboxes used in heavy industry?
High structural strength and stability
Each Gitterbox from the DAJANO range is made from powder-coated steel, resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage. The welded construction ensures durability even under intensive use in harsh conditions.
EPAL gitterboxes - compliance with European standards
EPAL certification is a guarantee that the container meets strict dimensional and quality standards. Standard 1240×835×970 mm means full compatibility with storage and transport systems throughout Europe. This allows the Gitterbox to circulate through the supply chain without the need to exchange it for other containers.
Resistant to impact, corrosion and intensive use
The EPAL Gitterbox is suitable for stacking of up to 4 layers, and its construction protects it from mechanical damage and the effects of weathering. Galvanised versions are particularly suitable for exposure to moisture or external storage.
Customisation possible - doors, flaps, ears, full walls
DAJANO also offers individual configurationsGitterboxes with a front flap, additional transport handles, as well as versions with solid walls or a reinforced floor. This allows the container to be better adapted to the type of material stored or the production process.
How do Gitterboxes affect production efficiency?
Faster and safer transport of semi-finished and finished parts
Can be loaded from all sides and quick access via flaps significantly reduce internal transport time. Employees can efficiently handle the Gitterboxes without having to empty them completely.
Space-saving stacking and collapsible variants
Both standard and folding Gitterboxes, The stacks can be stacked vertically, saving valuable storage space. This is especially important where every square metre matters.
Improving internal and external logistics
Thanks to EPAL standardisation The Gitterbox can be used not only in a single plant, but throughout the entire logistics chain. The flow of goods is more efficient, without the need for reloading into other packaging.
Reduction in material losses and storage costs
The mesh construction allows constant monitoring of the contents- without having to open the container. This not only saves time, but also reduces errors, damage or picking mistakes.
Heavy industry sectors using Gitterboxes
Automotive - engines and heavy components
Gitterboxes are ideal for storing and transporting components such as engines, gearboxes or complete body components - even on a just-in-time basis. Check out automotive containers.
Engineering industry - components
In the engineering industry, they are used to store frames, profiles, steel components or large assembly components.
Transport - safe transport of goods
Thanks to their design, Gitterboxes are suitable for intermodal transport - road, rail and sea.
Construction - Tools and heavy materials
Containers for the construction industry are used to store tools, prefabricated components and materials. The ability to close the contents in the flap version provides protection against dust, moisture and unauthorised access.
How to choose the right Gitterbox for an industrial plant?
Selection according to load capacity and type of goods
Depending on the type of products, it is advisable to choose a model with an appropriate load capacity - the standard is 1000-1500 kg. It is also worth considering the method of loading and unloading.
Height and possibility of modification - Gitterbox made to measure
DAJANO offers the possibility of adjusting the dimensions and equipment - height, additional handles, nets with different meshes or solid walls.
Folding or full-wall? Tailoring to the needs of production
Folding models will work well where bins often come back empty - thanks to this return transport costs are minimal. Solid walls protect small parts from falling out and getting dirty.
Quality certificates - confirmation of durability of construction
Gitterboxes from DAJANO are compliant with standards EPAL, UIC 435-3 and DIN 15155. They have quality markings and can be reconditioned and re-certified.
Gitterboxes - Frequently asked questions
What are the permissible loads for Gitterboxes?
