Client Challenge

The client needed assistance with the design of a container that would be used for transporting automotive spare parts from one manufacturing plant to another. Each container had to be designed in such a way that automotive spare parts could be easily handled. In addition, the client required a container that could accommodate part capacity, had a simple locking mechanism, incorporated safety controls, and would be conveniently transportable. Furthermore, the container design had to accommodate both LH and RH parts through the same mechanism and withhold outdoor weather conditions.

Our Solution

One of our RGBSI engineers designed and built the container to meet the client’s desired volume capacity and standard dimensions. Simple mechanisms were designed for easy loading and unloading of spare parts. We incorporated easily removable covers into the design that are tolerant to external weather conditions the rainy conditions. Our container design also allowed the client’s spare parts to be efficiently stacked and transported over a long distances without incurring any damages.
