A new folding large container recently launched by Schoeller Arca Systems will help parts and product logistics operations store and transport loads easily.
Lightening the load
S
choeller Arca Systems, one of the global leaders in reusable plastic containers for product and materials handling, has launched the new Magnum Helium; described as ‘the first truly lightweight foldable large container for parts and product logistics’. Since more weight means more expensive and environmentally unfriendly transport, as well as more effort to lift and carry containers, Schoeller Arca Systems has established what it says is ‘a new benchmark’. Lightweight sidewalls and pallet base offer significant weight reductions and return logistics benefits, which can contribute to reducing the number of trucks on the roads.
Moderate loads pose a special challenge. On the one hand, heavy- duty foldable large containers are more than enough to do the job; on the other hand, lighter containers and cardboard boxes are not sufficiently robust and suffer costly damages. The Magnum Helium is a light, easily handled container, which ensures that contents reach their destination in good shape.
The clean appearance of the Magnum Helium and its space saving fold down walls and large door openings make it suitable for retail environments. It also performs equally well in manufacturing logistics for moving automotive parts, tools, electronic components and subassemblies.
The Magnum Helium is currently being used by a leading French sports goods retailer, combined with Schoeller Arca Systems’ new Prelog
