What is a wire mesh container?

Wire mesh containers are steel containers with wire mesh walls. They are also called gitterboxes or gibos. Thanks to the sturdy material and versatility of the gitterbox, they are used in a variety of industries today. Originally, mesh wire containers were used in the automotive industry because both large and small parts could be easily and conveniently stored and transported in them. Wire mesh containers are easy to move with forklifts and pallet trucks. In addition, they are stackable and can be found in different sizes and designs. This makes it a widely used storage device.

These comply with the UIC 435-3 standard, which is part of the EPAL standards for load carriers. However, different wire mesh container sizes are available. Each storage and transport challenge has its own most suitable gitterbox dimensions. Thus, you can find gitterboxes with the following dimensions, among others:

Determining the correct wire mesh container size

Since there is no one right size, it is good to know what you need to think about to determine the appropriate gitterbox dimensions. Therefore, when determining the desired gitterbox dimensions, ask yourself the following questions:

 

  • - Where will the gibo be used?
  • - What is the gibo used for?
  • - What are the dimensions of the material stored in the gibo?
  • - Is it wise consider using Euronorms?
  • - How (often) is the gibo moved?
