PHS improves crates
August 1st 2009 PHS Teacrate has acquired
the tool for one of the
logistics industry's most
popular crates. Ownership
of the LC2 tooling, says the
crate rental firm, means it
can provide a better
supply of the mid-sized
attached lidded container
(ALC).
Commonly used in
retail as a distribution tote,
the 54-litre multipurpose
LC2 is equally useful
throughout all industries
and comes with the
reassurance that this UKmanufactured
crate is made
from fully recyclable
materials. Its compatibility
with the Allibert
1005B/10054 allows it to be
inter-stackable with existing
crate stock and provides
customers with a choice of
supplier.
The new tool ownership
has also allowed PHS
Teacrate to
introduce several
improvements to the LC2 in
response to customer
research. A requirement for
better security and
traceability has resulted in
the crate lids being redesigned
to accommodate
tamper evident seals and
have a larger stippled area
for the placement of
barcode and movement
labels. To improve handling,
modifications have been
made to the base of the ALC
to help reduce jamming on
conveyor belts. More articles from PHS Teacrate: |
