Reach-Through Latches Make It Easier to Collapse Ropak(TM) 4548 Containers from Linpac Materials Handling



GEORGETOWN, KY (July 31, 2002) -LINPAC Materials Handling has made it easier to collapse its popular ROPAK(TM) 4548 reusable, collapsible containers with the addition of convenient reach-through latches.

This option is available on the 33" and 34" high models on the 48" sides of the container on both solid and open sidewall models of the 45" x 48" containers. The option allows the operator to collapse the container from one side.

Previously, the ROPAK 4548 container sidewalls could only be collapsed by using latches located on the outside of the container, so the operator had to walk completely around the container to collapse the opposite side.

The ROPAK 4548 model, which is used extensively in the automotive industry, is available in seven heights from 25" to 50" with load capacities to 2,000 lbs. All models offer a choice of zero, one or two hinged drop doors on the 48" side and are available with 4-way forklift entry.

Custom colors and configurations are available to help streamline and organize the distribution process. A dunnage model also is available with an 8" storage space to contain dunnage during return shipment.

The reusable containers manufactured by LINPAC are used to replace single trip paper, cardboard and metal packaging. They are made of premium grade, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and copolymer polypropylene (CPP) for durability, and are available in a variety of configurations and weight capacities. The ROPAK product line includes pallets, hopper bottom containers and collapsible and non-collapsible container models with footprints ranging from 32" x 30" to 70" x 48", and heights to 50".

In addition, the Food Container Systems Division offers a full range of stack-nest, hand-held totes specifically designed for the retail grocery industry. LINPAC Materials Handling containers serve in a variety of industries, including automotive, plastics, chemicals, textiles, industrial equipment, appliance components, fresh produce, meat, poultry and retail grocery.
