Hampel’s Molded Solutions

Hampel’s plastic reusable packaging is easily customized and overcomes all of these shortcomings. Pallets along with customized trays can be designed for specific parts achieving maximum shipping efficiency. These customized solutions can increase the load capacity and decrease damage by providing superior protection to parts while in transit.

While Hampel has provided numerous customized reusable packaging solutions, Steelspan is Hampel's own branded line of reusable packaging.

SteelSpan is a process unique to Hampel — worldwide! It is "in the press" encapsulation of a specialized steel wire formed into a single sheet of plastic. The resulting synergistic marriage of steel and plastic provides a structural member with the tensile and compressive strengths of steel on the edges of the structural shape at little more than the weight of the plastic which provides the web of the shape. The total encapsulation of the steel in a SteelSpan pallet imparts structural strength for both lifting and racking.

Steelspan® Pallets: Rackable, Stackable, Nestable Pallets for Heavyweight Loads

Hampel's SteelSpan Pallets are able to handle heavy loads that conventional plastic pallets are unable to hold. The SteelSpan pallet is capable of straddling an open rack with a 2,000-pound load indefinitely, yet it weighs only 26 pounds, well below the 40-pound ergonomic guideline. When heavy loads on a conventional pallet are picked up by a lift truck, the product outside the forks may deflect causing the product to tip and fall. Hampel's SteelSpan eliminates that problem. SteelSpan Pallets also solve the problem of stacking multiple packs or loads by providing a rigid interface between the product and the pallet legs. Conventional plastic pallets often deform under the pressure points that are created when columns of product are stacked on small areas.
