Industrial Packaging Solutions for Elevators and Lifts – The Packaging Doctor
For many businesses involved in international trade, shipping large and bulky items overseas is a common challenge. Ensuring these items arrive safely at their destination is crucial to maintaining customer satisfaction and avoiding costly damages. Here at Kite, we specialize in creating robust packaging solutions tailored to meet the demands of such complex logistics operations. Today, let's dive into a recent case where we helped a client ship a personal lift all the way to India.
Our client, a leading UK-based manufacturer of elevators and lifts, reached out to us with a specific concern. They needed to ship a personal lift weighing over 50 kilograms to a customer in India. Given the weight and the nature of the item, they were looking for a durable and reliable packaging solution that could handle future exports as well. The challenge was clear: create packaging that could endure the rigors of international transport while providing adequate protection for the lift.
After a thorough assessment, I recommended using our Extra Heavy Duty (XHD) cardboard boxes. These boxes are engineered to bear significant weight and offer exceptional strength, making them ideal for heavy-duty items like machinery. For this particular lift, I suggested the XHD10 model, which measures 47 x 24 x 24 inches and supports up to 472 kgf. This size and capacity make it a perfect fit for the task at hand.
Next, we addressed the issue of void fill. To prevent any movement or damage during transit, it’s vital to properly cushion the lift inside the box. For this purpose, I recommended our Kite Mini Air system. This innovative machine generates air cushions on demand, offering a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional void fill methods. Unlike bubble wrap or loose fill, these air cushions are made from co-extruded material, making them highly resistant to bursting even under heavy loads. Additionally, they are compact, easy to store, and reusable, making them an excellent long-term investment.
To further enhance safety, I advised using our premium 'FRAGILE' tape. Printed in bold red text on white polypropylene, this tape not only grabs attention but also serves as a clear warning to handlers. Its adhesive properties ensure it stays securely in place throughout the journey, reinforcing the message that the contents require special care.
With these recommendations, the packaging solution was complete. By combining sturdy XHD boxes, effective void fill, and prominent labeling, we ensured the lift would reach its destination intact and ready for use. The client was thrilled with the outcome, and we’re confident this approach will serve them well as they expand their global presence.
