Product information „GENIUS FLEX-BOX foldable transport & storage box“

Overview

The GENIUS FLEX-BOXes are foldable reusable hazardous goods containers for the safe storage, transport, and disposal of lithium-ion batteries and other critical hazardous goods. The container systems were specially developed for industrial applications and enable safe and economical handling along the entire logistics chain – from production logistics and service operations to recycling and disposal processes.

Thanks to the foldable design, storage and transport volume can be significantly reduced when empty. The Flex-Boxes are available in various size classes as well as in the Basic, Advanced, and Premium versions, allowing them to be adapted to different safety requirements.
