New Containers Carry More Weight

-- Logistics Management, 2/1/2001

LINPAC Materials Handling has enhanced its series of extended-length ROPAK collapsible containers to handle increased weight. The solid sidewall models now hold up to 1,500 pounds, twice the capacity of the previous units. The winged sidewall model's capacity has increased to 1,000 pounds.

The one-piece base now has four aluminum bars molded in across its width for greater strength. The 48-inch-wide containers are available in two lengths, 64.5 inches and 70 inches, as well as five heights, 19, 25, 34, 41, and 50 inches. The units have four-way forklift entry and can be stacked without racking either upright or collapsed. The units also can be specified with up to two hinged drop doors on the 48-inch side (except the 19-inch unit).

The containers are used to replace single-trip paper, cardboard, or metal packaging. They are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and copolymer polypropylene (CPP). The ROPAK product line includes pallets, hopper bottom containers, and collapsible and non-collapsible containers.
