SLC Inlays – The Optimal Solution for Transport and Storage

What Are SLCs (Small Load Carriers)?

SLCs (Small Load Carriers) are standardized plastic containers used in logistics and manufacturing for the secure storage and transport of small parts. They are durable, stackable, and compatible with automated storage systems, simplifying any logistical process.

Types of SLC Containers:

• R-SLC (Returnable Small Load Carrier) – Sturdy container with a reinforced base, ideal for heavy loads and automated systems.
• E-SLC (Ergonomic Small Load Carrier) – Designed with special grips for easier manual handling.
• RL-SLC (Returnable Lightweight SLC) – A lighter version of the R-SLC for applications with lower weight requirements.

SLC Inserts as the Perfect Addition to Small Load Carriers

Euronorm containers are often used, but problems arise when components are transported as bulk goods and become damaged. To avoid this, suitable SLC inserts are required to secure the components. SLC inserts and inlays are customized container inserts, specially developed for SLCs and Euronorm containers using the plastic thermoforming process. They ensure structured, secure storage of components or parts that must not be handled as bulk goods. Container inserts can be used for any components, provided that they fit into the insert's slots.

Advantages of SLC Inserts:

Container inserts offer numerous advantages in transport and warehousing. These include:

Perfect protection of components

Sensitive components require special protection. SLC inserts offer optimum fixation thanks to their precise fit and prevent components from colliding with each other or being damaged by movement.

More efficient processes

The use of container inserts facilitates handling in production and logistics. SLC inserts divide the interior into compartments for different components. The clear structuring of the components within the SLC speeds up picking and assembly, resulting in more efficient processes.

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

ESD inserts can be used for electronic components to protect them from electrostatic discharge. This is particularly important in the electronics and automotive industries. Find out more at ESD Trays.

Efficient use of space

The precise arrangement of the container inserts ensures optimum use of the available space in small load carriers and Euro containers.

Typical areas of application for SLC inserts

SLC inserts are used in numerous branches of industry and contribute to increased efficiency in storage and transport logistics. In the automotive sector, they enable the safe storage and transport of screws, nuts, and other small parts.

The electronics industry benefits from customized container inserts that protect sensitive components such as circuit boards and microchips from vibration. In medicine, sterile SLC inlays ensure hygienic storage of instruments and prevent contamination. The food industry also relies on special, food-safe container inserts that guarantee safe and hygienic packaging.
