CRAEMER pallet box with UN approval Transport container for lithium-ion batteries

Technical data

Encoding: 4H2, 50H
Material: Plastic
Suitable for critically defective?: No

Product information „CRAEMER pallet box with UN approval“

Brief Overview

The Craemer pallet boxes are specially developed large load carriers 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 ensures high mechanical strength as well as maximum leak-tightness. Closed, smooth inner surfaces allow for easy cleaning and prevent material residues.

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

Scope of Delivery

  • Large load carrier / pallet box made of high-quality PE
  • Perfect-fit lid (depending on model)
  • Tension straps for secure fixation of the contents
  • Integrated skids or feet for forklift and conveyor technology
  • Stacking lugs for safe stackability
  • Printing fields for labeling

Technical Data

  • Material: High-quality polyethylene (PE)
  • Construction: Manufactured in one piece using injection molding
  • Temperature resistance: approx. -30 °C to +40 °C (higher for short periods)
  • Designs: Euro format and industrial format

The construction with reinforced base and additional impact protection ensures high stability in daily logistics operations. 


Area of Use & Application

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 – this requires the use of additional safety measures such as extinguishingh blankets, filler material, or special packaging systems, which are not included in the scope of delivery and must be provided separately
  • Industrial and production logistics
  • Recycling and disposal processes
  • Intralogistics and automated conveyor technology

Thanks to their robust design and compliance with standards, the containers are ideally suited for use throughout the entire logistics value chain and enable low-maintenance use over long life cycles.

 
Approvals

  • UN approval for hazardous goods (4H2 / 50H – depending on model)
  • Suitable for lithium-ion batteries (new and defective)
  • Manufacturing is based on DIN EN 13626 and DIN EN ISO 12048

 
Safety Features:

  • Seamless, liquid-tight construction
  • High impact resistance and chemical resistance
  • Smooth inner surfaces to minimize residues
  • Stable base with reinforcement structure
  • Impact protection against damage from forklifts
  • Safe stackability through integrated stacking lugs


Summary

The Craemer pallet boxes offer a robust, standards-compliant, and flexibly configurable solution for the safe handling of lithium batteries and other hazardous substances. Thanks to their durable design, high load capacity, and diverse options, they are ideally suited for industrial applications with the highest demands on safety and efficiency.

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.
