Euro container
Euro containers are modular inter-stacking Containers with vertical sides for maximum volume. Euro stacking containers are designed to fit on standard European size 1200x800mm and 800x600mm wooden and plastic pallets as well as standard 1200x1000mm pallets.
A Euro container or KLT box (from German: Kleinladungsträger, “small load carrier”) is an industrial stacking container conforming to the VDA 4500 standard. The standard was originally defined by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) for the automotive industry but subsequently adopted across many other areas of manufacturing and the shipping industry. The most common sizes are 600mm×400mm and 400mm×300mm and meaning that these stack easily on to a Euro-pallet measuring 1200mm×800mm.
