In modern automotive supply chains, standardized returnable packaging plays a critical role in improving efficiency, reducing damage, and optimizing warehouse space. The RL-KLT 400×300×147mm VDA container is designed specifically for automotive parts storage and transport, fully aligned with the standards established by German Association of the Automotive Industry.

This RL-KLT container provides a stable, durable, and modular solution for OEM manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, and automotive logistics providers operating in Europe, North America, and Australia.

What Is an RL-KLT Container?

RL-KLT (Rippen-Leicht-Kleinladungsträger) refers to a reinforced small load carrier widely used in the automotive industry. Compared with standard Euro crates, RL-KLT containers feature:

• Reinforced ribbed base structure

• Optimized stacking geometry

• Standardized 400×300 modular footprint

• Compatibility with automated conveyor systems

The 400×300×147mm size belongs to the compact RL-KLT series, ideal for small automotive components and precision parts requiring controlled packaging quantities.

400×300×147mm – Designed for Controlled Volume and Efficient Handling

The 400×300 base dimension follows the European modular logistics system (half of 600×400), ensuring compatibility with pallets, racking systems, and automated material handling equipment.

The 147mm height is particularly suitable for:

• Small metal components

• Electronic automotive parts

• Fasteners and connectors

• Precision plastic parts

• Assembly line feeding operations

For many automotive manufacturers, container height is determined by exact unit quantity per box. The 147mm profile helps maintain consistent loading standards while minimizing empty space inside the container.

Built for Automotive Returnable Packaging Systems

This RL-KLT VDA container is manufactured from high-impact polypropylene (PP), providing:

• Excellent dimensional stability

• Resistance to oil and industrial chemicals

• Long service life in closed-loop logistics systems

• High stacking strength for warehouse storage

The reinforced ribbed base improves load distribution and supports automated conveyor systems commonly used in automotive production facilities.

Its smooth inner walls protect sensitive components from scratches or damage during transport.

Stackable and Warehouse Optimized

One of the key advantages of the RL-KLT 400×300 container is its stacking stability.

The container is designed with:

• Precise stacking rims

• Anti-slip positioning features

• Reinforced vertical load-bearing structure

This allows safe multi-layer stacking in:

• Automotive warehouses

• Distribution centers

• Production line buffer zones

• Export shipping operations

By maximizing vertical storage space, businesses can significantly reduce warehouse footprint and improve internal logistics efficiency.

Compatible with Automated Logistics Systems

Modern automotive factories rely heavily on automation. The RL-KLT 400×300×147mm container is engineered for compatibility with:

• Roller conveyor systems

• Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)

• Robotic handling equipment

• Returnable packaging management systems

The standardized dimensions ensure seamless integration into lean manufacturing environments and just-in-time delivery systems.

Customization Options Available

Although RL-KLT containers follow standardized dimensions, customization options are available to meet OEM requirements:

• Custom colors

• Company logo printing

• Barcode or RFID labeling areas

• ESD (anti-static) version

• Reinforced bottom structure

• Drain holes if required

For automotive manufacturers, traceability and visual identification are critical. We provide tailored marking solutions to support supply chain transparency.
