Kubo, the latest innovation, stands for plastic box. It is intended as an alternative to the DB Europool lattice box (Gibo), which is often used for heavy goods and components, as well as for all applications with high requirements. The new PE box has numerous advantages over the steel frame lattice construction. It is light and robust, easy to empty, clean and dry, guaranteed corrosion-free, very resilient, versatile and stackable, poolable and repairable and also protects sensitive contents thanks to its closed shape.

The Gibo-compatible Kubo is suitable for both alternative and parallel use. With the same external dimensions of 1,240 x 835 x 970 millimetres and internal dimensions of 1,132 x 732 x 831 millimetres, it has a volume of around 610 liters; with a tare weight of 51 kilograms (including front wall flap), it has a stacking load of 3,000 kilograms, a payload of 1,000 kilograms and a dynamic load of 2,100 kilograms. The design is based on the UIC 435-3 standard (International Union of Railways) or DIN 15155/8. The four feet are designed as interchangeable corner pillars.

The new Kubo four-way box from Craemer runs maintenance-free and trouble-free on all common conveyor systems and is suitable for automated high-bay warehouses. In addition to the advantages offered by the PE material and the design - protected contents thanks to the closed shape, low tare weight (around 25 percent lighter than the Gibo) and therefore more cost-effective transport of empty containers - the Kubo offers enormous stability and good stackability. The stacking height of two Kubo boxes is 1,940 millimetres, with a maximum payload of 1,000 kilograms per box, three plastic boxes can be stacked on top of each other. As with the mesh box, the top edges provide ideal stacking surfaces. The corner pillars reinforce the container, while reinforcements of the lower deck with three transverse and two longitudinal profiles ensure high stability of the container base. The steel L-profiles on the long sides of the box - in addition to the additional ribs above the entry openings - provide further impact protection against forklift tines. As a four-way box, the Kubo thus offers all-round protection. A large front wall flap with locking mechanism and hinges on one of the long sides, which can be opened downwards and outwards by 180 degrees (as with the Gibo), makes it easy to load and remove components even when the boxes are stacked.

The front wall flap does not close flush with the edge of the box when closed to allow the forklift tines to retract when stacking or removing a box. To protect the opposite wall from a possible impact of the forks, the upper edge is equipped with an internal collision slope. Thanks to its compatibility with the mesh box, its robust design and high payload, the new plastic box is an ideal Gibo alternative or addition for numerous industries such as automotive. The Kubo from Craemer is particularly suitable for transporting heavy components.
