Product information „BAUER TYPE SAP Transport and Storage Containers “
Brief overview
BAUER TYPE SAP transport and storage containers are robust, hot-dip galvanised steel containers designed for the storage and transport of lithium-ion batteries as dangerous goods. The range is available in three different versions. Thanks to their UN approvals as 11A or 4A packaging, the containers can be used for various transport tasks in accordance with the relevant dangerous goods regulations.
The SAP containers are suitable, amongst other things, for new, defective and lithium-ion batteries intended for disposal or recycling, as well as for prototypes. They are stackable to a height of three and feature full-length loading pockets as well as fittings for pallet trucks, forklift trucks and cranes. The spring-loaded lid with seal and self-locking fasteners ensures safe and practical handling. Depending on the application, the containers can be used without filling material or in combination with vermiculite or PyroBubbles® filling cushions.

Safety and protection features
SAP containers consist of a robust sheet steel construction with a hot-dip galvanised finish. The profiled edges and the reinforced base frame enhance mechanical stability during storage, internal handling and transport.
The lid is fitted with a spring-loaded mechanism and a seal. Two self-locking and lockable lid fasteners secure the closed container. When opened, the lid can be locked in a self-locking position at 270° or supported at 70°. This makes loading and unloading particularly easy.
Sturdy stacking corners with integrated crane eyes, as well as the continuous entry pockets, allow for handling with various industrial trucks and lifting equipment. The containers can be stacked up to three high.
For certain applications involving lithium-ion batteries, the containers can also be combined with vermiculite or PyroBubbles® cushioning. The required packaging configuration depends on the condition of the batteries, the specific transport scenario and the applicable packaging instructions.
Areas of application
BAUER SAP transport and storage containers are suitable for commercial and industrial applications where lithium-ion batteries need to be collected, temporarily stored or transported as dangerous goods.
Typical applications include:
- Transport of new lithium-ion batteries
- Transport of defective or damaged batteries in accordance with the applicable packaging regulations
- Collection and temporary storage of end-of-life batteries
- Transport for disposal or recycling
- Transport of prototypes
- Take-back and reverse logistics
- Recycling centres and waste disposal facilities
- Stationary use as collection or quarantine containers

Instructions for use
Before each use, the container, lid, closures and components intended for handling must be checked for damage and to ensure they are functioning correctly. Damaged transport containers must not be reused.
Handling attachments are available for pallet trucks, forklift trucks and cranes. Before transport, the lid must be closed completely and secured with the designated fasteners.
Whether and to what extent additional filling or cushioning material is required depends on the specific transport situation. The requirements of the applicable ADR packaging instructions must be taken into account.
Conclusion
The BAUER TYPE SAP transport and storage containers offer a robust and flexible steel container solution for the collection, storage and transport of lithium-ion batteries as dangerous goods. Dual labelling, a hot-dip galvanised steel construction, a lockable lid and the ability to be handled using a pallet truck, forklift or crane enable their use in a variety of industrial and logistical processes.
Depending on the condition of the batteries and the specific transport requirements, the containers can be used in accordance with the applicable dangerous goods regulations and, where necessary, in combination with suitable filling material.

FAQ
That depends on various factors that need to be considered:
- size of the battery(ies)
- condition (e.g. non-critical, defective, critically defective or prototype)
- power
Transport boxes are available in many different sizes and specifications. The packaging group for which the box is suitable is indicated for each product.

Even if the batteries are not critical, remember to protect them from shocks and to order appropriate filling material if it is not already included in the box.
Yes. Should a battery reach a critical state and cause a fire, separating the batteries will prevent the fire from spreading and multiplying.
Generally, the insulation and protection material should line all sides of the container. The batteries are stored between individual layers.
We also have containers in our program that already have the protective material integrated into the outer wall. No further protective layer is necessary here.
The technical principles for storage and transportation solutions are very similar. The transport boxes are also subjected to extensive tests in accordance with ADR (drop test, fire test, etc.) to confirm compliance with the ADR regulations. The packaging regulations are extensive and regulated by law.
There are currently no comparable regulations for storage. Nevertheless, manufacturers of storage boxes regularly carry out appropriate tests.
The right container depends on the type and size of the battery to be shipped or stored.

The transportation of batteries is subject to ADR regulations.
The number, size and weight, energy density and condition of the batteries are crucial parameters for finding a suitable transport container for lithium-ion batteries. The selection process is complex and should be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. We have a trained hazardous materials officer on our team. Please feel free to contact us.
Plastic containers are cheaper but not as durable as metal containers. They are suitable, for example, for non-critical batteries, defective batteries, prototypes and end-of-life batteries. They can be used for both storage and transportation.
Metal containers are required, for example, when dealing with critically defective batteries.
The exact packaging instructions for these cases can be found in the ADR or by consulting a certified hazardous materials specialist.
To date, there are no legal requirements for the storage of lithium-ion batteries, which does not mean that they should be stored without suitable protective measures.
It is best to check with your insurer to find out which measures they recognize as suitable in the event of a claim.
For example, a suitable box could already be recognized as spatial separation.
