Why Euro Norm Containers & KLT Boxes Are the Smart Choice in 2026
Euro Norm containers (typically 600×400 mm or 800×600 mm) and KLT boxes (VDA-standardized small load carriers) made from PP-C or HDPE offer unmatched robustness, low tare weight, and long service life. They resist temperatures from -20 °C to +80 °C, chemicals, and frequent cleaning, while being fully recyclable – aligning perfectly with ESG and circular economy goals. Compared to metal or wooden alternatives, they cut transport weight by up to 50 %, reduce CO₂ emissions, and improve workplace ergonomics. In 2026, compatibility with automated warehouses (AKL, shuttles, conveyors) and tight integration into automotive & manufacturing supply chains make them indispensable.
Key Advantages at a Glance:
- Standardized Euro Norm & VDA dimensions for perfect pallet & automation compatibility
- High stackability and secure interlocking
- Ergonomic open or closed handle recesses
- Food-safe, ESD-safe, and ventilated variants available
