For various fire brigades in the Netherlands, Belgium and France we develloped and construct a container that is ideal for the storage and transport of heavy materials, such as breathing air cylinders.
SCBA Cylinder Storage container
We use our stackable containers as the basis for the breathing air cylinder containers. This series of Euronorm containers has been in use for years by various fire brigades, which means that our breathing air cylinder container can be perfectly stacked with each other and fits into the interior of the vehicles. Many custom-made products start with an existing plastic container, because this has the optimum construction properties that ensure strength and handling.
Depending on the dimensions of the cylinder bottles, we make the most suitable combination of container and compartment division. In the meantime, we have already made a variant for various types of cylinder bottles (diving cylinders, oxygen cylinders or compressed air cylinders).
The SCBA Cylinder Storage container consists of :
- E-line stackable Euronorm bin, with closed base and walls:
- 600x400x425 mm (art.no. EN-6442-1-7)
- E-line stackable Euronorm bin, with closed base and walls depending on the height of the bottle:
- 600x400x225 mm (art.no. EN-6422-2-7)
- 600x400x278 mm (art.no. EN-6428-2-7)
- 600x400x325 mm (art.no. EN-6432-2-7)
- Lockable hinged lid in three versions increasing in load capacity, resp.:
- standard hinged lid (art.no. EN-64-1-7 S)
- splash-proof clamp lid with rubber seal (art.no. 20-00252 D)
- reinforced splash-proof lid, load capacity up to 120 kg (art.no. 37-6410 R)
The two euro containers are welded together and riveted, with the container with open handles on top. In the upper container, holes are milled in the bottom with the diameter of the compressed air bottle and in the lower container, a compartment is placed with the same hole pattern as in the upper bin at 70 mm from the bottom. Depending on the diameter, 4, 5 or 6 bottles can fit in one container.
Multiple variants possible
Our assembly department has already made several versions. Variations in height and width for bottles or other heavy cylindrical items are therefore no problem. For the Limburg Fire Department we made a version with hard plastic tubes welded into the containers. In combination with a transport roller and the same Euronorm stacking container for the face pieces, you have the entire equipment organized and manageable together.
Completely assembled or completely new product
A third of the packaging we supply consists of custom work designed, produced and assembled on behalf of the customer. Our assembly department has extensive expertise in the field of milling, sawing, welding, gluing and riveting various types of plastic. In this way, all dimensions of bins, pallet boxes and pallets are within our reach.
