Product information „BAUER walk-in container - 3 x 3 m“
The BAUER storage container with one storage level is a high-performance, future-proof solution for the safe, organised and compliant storage of lithium-ion batteries.
Thanks to its robust steel construction, integrated spill containment sump and high level of fire protection, the container is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and meets stringent requirements for safety, functionality and durability.
The container holds a general building approval issued by the German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt), Approval No. Z-38.5-103, and therefore complies with current German building regulations relating to fire protection, structural stability and environmental protection. It forms a self-contained, independent fire compartment, helping companies to reliably minimise risks and ensure safe operational processes.
As each fire protection container is an individually configured project solution, specific requirements such as battery type, storage quantity, installation location, fire resistance rating and technical equipment must be taken into account. We therefore provide a structured project questionnaire. Based on the completed questionnaire, we will provide you with an initial cost estimate. We would be happy to discuss the details required for a specific quotation with you in a personal consultation.

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.
