They are robust, durable and have high weight capacities. But all these characteristics apply to plastic pallet boxes, too. So, what are the differences? We compared both solutions one to one and here\u2019s what we found out.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Gitterbox vs. GitterPak\u00ae <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The most used steel packaging solution is the gitterbox: The Euro gitterbox consists of a steel frame construction with a 1200 x 800 mm European standard footprint. The container is normed by the European Pallet Association (EPAL<\/a>) and used in the European container pooling system. Steel gitterboxes typically have a height of 800 mm and access doors for loading and unloading.<\/p>\n

ORBIS Europe has developed a collapsible plastic pallet box<\/a> that is a 1 to 1 alternative to steel gitterboxes – with several supply chain advantages. Both solutions are based on the European standard footprint 1200 x 800 mm and offer high weight capacities. Here are the differences:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” border_color=”#ffffff” bg_type=”bg_color” z_index=”” bg_color_value=”#ffffff”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
