Pallet Boxes
The ideal solution for the storage and transport of goods and bulk goods of all kinds.

TC Palgrip® Plastic Pallet
Hygiene is the highest priority in meat production and processing – a requirement that is perfectly ensured by the completely closed plastic pallets of Craemer's TC series. For absolutely reliable load securing, all models within the TC range are now optionally available with a full-surface Palgrip® anti-slip deck. Equipped with Palgrip®, the TC pallet is up to meet all the challenges in the meat industry. The completely closed, fully anti-slip coated top deck and the smooth lower deck of the TC Palgrip® boast excellent cleaning properties. In addition, the cavity- and rib-free construction of the robust and durable hygiene pallet offers reliable protection against contamination or water ingress. The unique Palgrip® anti-slip coating, like the pallet itself, is made of high-quality polyethylene and is firmly bound to the pallet in a one-step production process. The structurally stable TC Palgrip® pallet withstands temperatures from -30 to +40 degrees Celsius (briefly also up to +90 degrees Celsius) and is equally suited for use on roller conveyors, chain conveyors and in automated high-rack warehouses. The load-bearing capacity on the shelf can be increased to up to 2,000 kilograms, using integrated, corrosion-protected metal reinforcement profiles, which are optionally available. Chamfered edges on both sides of the runners enable optimal use with fork-lift trucks. Thanks to the unique, full-surface Palgrip® anti-slip top deck, the TC Palgrip® offers total slip resistance, securing the load even in damp conditions or inclined positions. Craemer is the only manufacturer in the world that offers such a solution for the all-round reliable flow of logistics processes. On request, the hygiene pallet can also be equipped with RFID transponder.

Extremely Large Volume: The CB3 High Pallet Box
The German Craemer Group is presenting its latest product development: the large-volume CB3 High pallet box with a capacity of around 1,000 litres. The CB3 High was designed specifically to allow for even more efficient transport of particularly large quantities or bulky goods. The large load carrier is moulded in one piece and boasts a high level of stability and resistance, while the sophisticated design ensures everyday ease of use. The CB3 High pallet box is made of high-quality, food-safe polyethylene, is available in industrial dimensions (1,200 x 1,000 millimetres) with three longitudinal runners or nine feet and weighs 46.5 or 49.5 kilograms. With a height of 1,140 millimetres and a capacity of around 1,000 litres, the CB3 High offers significantly more interior volume than most other pallet boxes. Single-mould production ensures a robust runner or foot connection; additional ribs above the entry openings of the closed outer walls offer increased protection against forklift tines and the strong ribbing of the lower deck ensures that the bottom of the container is very robust. Integrated stacking cams on the outside corners lock with the stacking pockets in the bottom, ensuring stacked boxes are firmly secured. The CB3 High is temperature resistant from -30 to +40 degrees Celsius, and even up to +90 degrees for a short time. The seamless construction and smooth inner walls mean it is easy to clean and dry. The new, large-volume pallet box from Craemer is optionally available with lateral trunnions for effortless lift-tilt emptying. As an option, the CB3 High is also available with an open 1-inch and 2-inch drain port hole, and if necessary, markings facilitate drilling of the standard closed holes with integrated thread. A transponder bracket on each of the long sides enables optional retrofitting with RFID tags, and printing fields offer space for an individual logo, lettering or numbering. A custom-fit lid is available as additional equipment.

Extremely Durable: The SB3 Pallet Box
Plastic pallet boxes are the ideal solution for storing and transporting products and bulk goods – provided the containers are robust, stackable, easy to transport and easy to clean. The new SB3 pallet box from Craemer meets all of these requirements. Its single-mould production and stable construction make it very durable. The Craemer pallet box SB3 is made of high-quality, food-safe polyethylene and is available in industrial dimensions (1,200 x 1,000 mm). The 790 millimetres high container has a capacity of 610 litres and a payload of 700 kilograms. The SB3 is available in a closed or perforated version, with three runners or nine feet. Depending on the version, it weighs 38.5 or 43.5 kilograms. Thanks to its design, the one-piece, injection moulded SB3 offers numerous advantages. The particularly stable runner or foot connection ensures extreme resistance and, with the former version, secure lift-tilt emptying by a rotating forklift. Additional ribs on the outer walls provide increased impact protection against forklift tines, while the all-round stacking shoulder in the upper and lower edge make the container compatible with a large number of other containers (Euro stacking system). The seamless construction and the smooth inner surfaces enable easy emptying, cleaning and drying. The vents of the perforated version are chamfered on the inside to protect sensitive goods. The SB3 is temperature-resistant from -30 to +40 degrees Celsius, briefly up to +90 degrees, and it complies with the European container standards DIN EN 13626 and DIN EN ISO 12048. The SB3 is optionally available with two closed or open drain ports. The integrated 1-inch or 2-inch thread and a drilling mark make it easier to open the holes later if necessary. Two transponder brackets enable retrofitting with RFID tags, and printing fields offer space for an individual logo, lettering or numbering. The SB3 is rounded off by a custom-fit lid, which is available as additional equipment.

Completely closed: the HB3 Pallet Box
Hygiene is a crucial factor in technical and logistical processes involving pharmaceutical and chemical products, food and cosmetics. Craemer, pioneer in plastics processing, has developed the new HB3, a pallet box entirely made of PE: hygienic, robust, ideal for this sector. With its latest development, the specialist in plastics offers a world first innovation: HB3 is the first and only completely closed pallet box on the market with welded runners. The new HB3 box in industrial size (outer dimensions, l x w x h: 1200 x 1000 x 790 millimetres) consists of two one-piece injection-moulded elements: the box body as the top part and the pallet with three welded runners as the bottom part. Another special feature: A patented weld seam geometry for joining both plastic elements ensures maximum impact resistance and break strength; the weld seam is contour-milled and therefore almost invisible. The HB3 box, with a tare weight of approx. 42 kilograms (without reinforcement profiles), can carry a volume of max. 580 litres and withstand a stacking load of 5000 kilograms. The box is extremely rigid thanks to the welding of top and bottom part. Three additional metal reinforcement profiles (available as an option) permit a further increase of bending stiffness. The exact payload of this new development is currently being determined. R&D experts from Craemer call it the “elephant among pallet boxes”. According to them, in relation to its size is the strongest on the market. Construction and design of the box body ensure optimum hygiene. According to the manufacturer, the completely closed pallet box has excellent cleaning properties and has no nooks or crannies in which bacteria may settle. The seamless design, the smooth inner walls and the welded runners allow easy emptying, cleaning and drying. The almost invisible contour-milled welding seam, the clean and clear lines, the minimal ribbing and the rounded shape also contribute to this.

EURO L1®
Plastics instead of Wood

Euro Pallet Collar CC1
One clever way to expand the use of Euro pallets is to combine them using pallet collars. The result is a stable and reusable packaging unit that ensures loads are reliably protected while avoiding packaging waste and thus saving on disposal costs. And integrated handles, movable locking elements and a sophisticated folding mechanism all make the new CC1 Euro pallet collar from Craemer particularly easy to handle. Other advantages include variable application options, enormous volume reducibility and slip resistance. The CC1 is made entirely of PE and is compatible with wooden and plastic pallets. When unfolded, the 7.8 kilogram collars are easy and simple to place on pallet and can be stacked 3 high, allowing for greater flexibility in transporting goods of different sizes. The ideal combination for a loading unit with a height of around 2.10 meters: a stack of two pallets with three collars each. The optionally available external 10-millimetre edge of the CC1 ensures that the pallet is securely locked in place. Without rim, the collar can be tightly locked in place using a pallet lid. Movable locking elements allow the sophisticated folding mechanism of the Euro pallet collar from Craemer to be actuated with a simple movement of the hand. When folded, the volume of the CC1 is reduced by 75 percent. This means little space is required when transporting the stacked collars, while ingenious locking elements on the bottom ensure slip-resistance – even when unfolded. Adhesive fields for labels and integrated transponder mounting brackets round out the innovation from Craemer.

E3-5 plastic pallet
Robust all-rounder

The new E3-5 pallet as Zero Virgin
Sustainable all-rounder from Craemer’s heavy-duty range The newly developed E3-5 pallet from Craemer is a robust all-rounder among heavy-duty pallets. For the love of nature and the environment, the German plastics pioneer now offers this load carrier made of durable, high-quality polyethylene (PE) as a Zero Virgin version. This particularly sustainable version is made of 100 per cent recycled plastic. The entire E3-5 series features a robust construction that ensures durability even with frequent use, very high load-bearing capacity and excellent bending stiffness. The new E3-5 is a 4-way all-purpose pallet in industrial dimensions (1200 x 1000 x 160 mm). With its five runners (E3 has three runners), injection-moulded in one piece from PE, it is puritanically functional and fully recyclable. Without any optional features that are unnecessary in certain applications, such as Palgrip anti-slip strips or (anti-slip) runners, the E3-5 models, including Zero Virgin, have a high wall thickness, six metal profiles and an extremely rugged design. They are very stable, shock-resistant, reliable and can carry 1400 kilograms in high racking. The heavily ribbed design of the runners also ensures extremely high robustness and a long service life. In areas where (internal) logistics can do without extensive anti-slip elements, the E3-5 pallet is the perfect alternative with an ideal price-performance ratio. For companies that value sustainability and recycling, the Zero Virgin version is essential due to its infinite life cycle. Its material is reclaimed from discarded plastic products in the company’s own extruder machinery and refined. As a result, the recycled material remains extremely high-quality and, like the recyclable E3-5 Zero Virgin, is an integral part of the production cycle.

UN-approved Pallet Boxes
Circular economy and environmental protection in the fields of dangerous goods logistics, battery logistics and recycling only work with reliable containers – such as UN-approved pallet boxes made of high-quality PE from Craemer. The Craemer Group with its plastics processing since 1958 and its four production sites in Europe is one of the leading manufacturers of logistics solutions worldwide. CB and SB3 pallet boxes (outer packaging types 4H2, 11H2, 50H) are certified as being suitable for dangerous goods in transport, storage and disposal of not critically defective lithium batteries and accumulators. The sturdy boxes are available in industrial and Euro dimensions as well as with particularly large volumes – all with closed walls, three longitudinal runners, precisely fitting lids, tensioning straps, dedicated fields, and RFID tag options. The seamless design and smooth inner walls allow easy emptying, cleaning and drying.
