Product information „CRAEMER pallet box with UN approval“

Overview

The Craemer pallet boxes are specially developed bulk containers made of high-quality polyethylene (PE) for the safe transport, storage, and disposal of lithium-ion batteries and other hazardous goods. They offer a robust, durable, and practical solution for industrial applications where the highest requirements for safety, stability, and process integration are demanded.

The containers are characterized by a seamless, one-piece construction that provides high mechanical strength and maximum tightness. Closed, smooth inner surfaces enable easy cleaning and prevent material residues.

Thanks to their UN certification, the systems are suitable for safe handling of lithium batteries under applicable regulations. For the disposal of damaged or defective batteries, however, the use of additional safety measures such as extinguishing blankets, filler material, or special inner packaging is required, which are not part of the scope of delivery and must be provided separately.

Range of Application & Use

Craemer plastic containers are versatile and particularly suitable for:

  • Transport and storage of new lithium-ion batteries
  • Transport, storage, and disposal of defective or damaged batteries – for this, the use of additional safety measures such as extinguishing blankets, filler material, or special packaging systems is required, which are not included in the delivery and must be provided separately
  • Industrial and production logistics
  • Recycling and disposal processes
  • Intralogistics and automated conveying technology

Due to their robust construction and compliance with standards, the containers are optimal for use along the entire logistics value chain and enable low-maintenance use over long service life.

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.
