Product information „wi-sales ThorPak ® Battery Pallet System“
Brief overview
of
The ThorPak ® battery pallet system is a modular packaging and transport system designed for the safe handling of lithium-ion batteries. The product range comprises the following variants: :
- ThorPak ® Battery Pallet
- ThorPak ® Battery Pallet with Box
- ThorPak ® Battery Pallet with Box and Bag
The system has been specially developed to flexibly meet a wide variety of battery transport requirements – from a simple transport pallet for end-of-life batteries right through to a fully UN-certified transport solution with additional inner packaging for enhanced safety requirements.
Thanks to its modular design, the system can be expanded as required. Companies therefore benefit from a high degree of process flexibility, reduced storage costs and cost-effective utilisation throughout the entire battery logistics chain.

Scope of use & application
The ThorPak ® battery pallet system is suitable for :
- the transport of lithium-ion batteries
- end-of-life batteries
- recycling- and return processes
- Battery manufacturers and the automotive industry
- Logistics and warehousing processes
- Development and prototype transport
The modular system structure allows for flexible adaptation to different battery and transport conditions – from brand-new batteries to those requiring enhanced safety measures for the transport of critically defective batteries.
Approvals & Safety Features
Depending on the version, the ThorPak ® systems meet various dangerous goods requirements :
- UN certification in accordance with UN 4N2/Y1000/S/24CN/C311209
- Suitable for packing instructions LP903, LP904 and LP905
- Suitable for Dangerous Goods Class 9 (lithium batteries)
- Compliant with various international transport routes
Safety features :
- Integrated lashing systems
- Robust construction for load securing
- Enclosed transport solution with lid system
- Stackable design
- Modular safety levels depending on battery
The version with internal packaging offers additional safety thanks to a non-flammable and non-electrically conductive inner lining.
Summary

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.
