VDA KLT
VDA KLT
The VDA-KLT series is the go-to container lineup for uncomplicated, safe, and flexible (automatic or manual) handling of small standard parts and dangerous goods. VDA-KLT are made of shock-resistant PPC, with a base ribbing and stacking feet for tilt protection plus easy stacking. They are well suited for comfortable vertical and horizontal handling. Longitudinal- and front notches qualify these containers for use in automated small parts warehouses. A smooth texture on the inside simplifies the cleaning process. Due to these properties, the KLT series has an excellent reputation across many industries.
