Key benefits

VDA-KLT containers - durability and full compliance with automotive standards

VDA-KLT plastic containers (from German Kleinladungsträger) are standardised containers designed in accordance with the standards of the German association VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie),

ensuring full compatibility throughout the automotive industry and related sectors.

  • Robust and durable
    Thanks to their robust construction and high-quality polypropylene, these containers can withstand intensive use and repeated use. The material is resistant to breakage, abrasion, oils, fats, acids and alkalis.
  • Standardisation and compatibility
    The standardisation of dimensions in accordance with the VDA ensures that containers from different manufacturers are compatible with each other. They can be easily integrated into automated warehouses, conveyor systems and pallet racks.
  • Efficient stacking
    The containers can even be safely stacked to a great height thanks to the integrated legs and stacking locks, which ensure the stability of the entire stack. Stacking load capacity reaches several hundred kilograms.
  • Ideal for automation
    The containers have been developed with industrial automation in mind and are compatible with various types of conveyors, automated warehouses, robotic arms and AGVs.
  • Protection of contents
    Protect stored parts from dust, moisture and mechanical damage. Optional lids for KLT containers allow the contents to be securely closed and protected during transport.
  • ESD versions available
    For sensitive electronic components ESD versions are available made of conductive plastic, which protects components from electrostatic discharge.

Features

VDA-KLT - design down to the last detail

The VDA-KLT containers have been developed with attention to detail to meet the high demands of the automotive industry.

1

Ergonomic handles

The shorter sides of the containers feature ergonomically shaped handles for comfortable and secure gripping, designed to facilitate carrying even when fully loaded, weighing up to 20 kg.

2

Stackable

The upper edges have a reinforced rim, which increases strength and acts as a stacking frame.

3

Dedicated space for labels

All four sides of the crates feature areas or clips for attaching labels and descriptions, making it easier to track parts in the logistics chain.

4

Drainage holes

There are small drainage holes in the bottom of the RL-KLT, allowing liquids to drain away during cleaning or if the fire sprinklers are activated.

5

Recyclability

The box material is fully recyclable and complies with the VDA closed-loop initiative, which enables environmentally friendly processing of used containers.

Industries

Frequently asked questions about VDA-KLT containers

In this section you will find answers to frequently asked questions about VDA-KLT containers and their use in industrial logistics.

R-KLT (Revised KLT) containers have a reinforced composite bottom with solid reinforcements for greater stability and safe stacking. RL-KLT (Redesign Light) containers are lightweight containers with a smooth bottom and drainage holes that have a larger internal volume with less weight. Both variants are VDA-compliant and designed for payloads of up to approximately 20 kg.

The containers are manufactured in three basic floor plan sizes - 300×200 mm, 400×300 mm and 600×400 mm - and in different heights (usually around 147 mm, 213 mm and 280 mm). The largest container RL-KLT 6280 (600×400×280 mm) holds up to 51.9 litres.

ESD (Electro Static Discharge) containers are made of electrically conductive material that prevents the build-up of electrostatic charge. They are used for electronic components susceptible to static electricity, protecting sensitive parts from the invisible danger of electrostatic discharge.

Yes, they have been developed with industrial automation in mind. They are compatible with different types of conveyors, automated warehouses, robotic arms and AGVs. Their standard dimensions and design guarantee seamless integration into automated systems.

Green solutions

VDA-KLT - the environmentally friendly choice

bekuplast emphasises sustainability and environmental aspects in the production and use of VDA-KLT plastic containers.

Our products are designed to minimise environmental impact while maintaining high quality and functionality.

The polypropylene used is fully recyclable and, in line with the VDA's closed loop initiative, used boxes can be ground up and recycled into new ones.

bekuplast offers a programme in which old C-KLT boxes are recycled and returned to the customer as new R/RL-KLT boxes as part of a closed-cycle economy.

The long life of our boxes significantly reduces the need for single-use packaging, thereby contributing to reducing waste and the overall carbon footprint of logistics processes.
