Y-Containers

  • Originally developed, to a rigorous specification, for use by NATO Armed Forces as an integrated logistical system.
  • Manufactured from 1.0mm, 1.2mm or 1.5mm sheet according to size.
  • Seam welded along vertical seams, top and base edges rolled in to rim extrusions. Corner beading.
  • With additional sealant around the inside of the base, the container is waterproof up to the levels of the handles. IP54 above that level.
  • Cast alloy corners on lid and base ensures strength and positive stacking. Additional features in the base castings allow for external blind M6 screw fitting and internal M8 fixings.
  • M5 sealed screws in the walls make it possible to secure equipment or to fit internal divider panels (not supplied).
  • Some of the container models have a document holder on the inside of the lid.
  • Stainless steel hinge protected from over-extension by two polyester restraint straps.
  • Sprung handles, steel version on the larger models.
  • Passed simple stacking load test of 1200kg.
  • Stack angle of 15 degrees from the vertical without slippage.
  • Drop test of 800mm free fall on to each corner, 50kg loading, without impairment to the protection characteristics.
  • UN approvals available.
