Small Load Carrier
Small Load Carriers: The Standard Container for Modern Intralogistics – From Automotive to E-Commerce
The small load carrier is a plastic container standardized according to the VDA standard (VDA 4500) and one of the most widely used load carriers in modern intralogistics. Originally developed for the automotive industry, the small load carrier has long since established itself as a standard container across various industries, from electronics manufacturing and the pharmaceutical industry to e-commerce fulfillment logistics. Its standardized external dimensions are tailored to the basic dimensions of Euro pallets; it is stackable, robust, and fully compatible with automated conveyor systems, shuttle warehouses, and stacker cranes. In automotive logistics, the small load carrier is the primary means of transport for small parts between suppliers, receiving warehouses, and assembly lines. In automated warehouse systems, it is the dominant container type par excellence.
