Introduction: Containers for Shuttle, Miniload & ASRS Systems

In today’s automated warehouses and ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems), the geometry and stiffness of storage containers directly impact conveyor noise, shuttle performance, and overall throughput efficiency.

Well-known series such as SASI, Euroclick, LWB, and Eureka are recognized for their precision and automation-readiness — but the Logistic Packaging AKL container range offers equivalent or superior performance, with broader footprint coverage, multiple base technologies, and greater flexibility for project-level customization.

SASI – Silent, Automation-Optimized Totes

The SASI series is engineered for quiet conveyor travel and smooth shuttle handling, with reinforced bases and minimal deflection under repetitive cycles. Typical configurations include 600×400 mm footprints and multiple height options suited for robotic gripping systems.

LP AKL Equivalents

  • LP-AKL-6422 – 600×400×220 mm, ideal for shuttle systems, picking stations, and mini-load storage.
  • LP-AKL-6432 – 600×400×320 mm, available with miniload or sandwich base for reduced vibration and high stiffness.

Advantages of LP AKL over SASI containers:

  • Base options for noise and deflection control (smooth, ribbed, sandwich)
  • Available in standard PPC or ESD conductive materials
  • Designed for robotic gripping and shuttle automation
  • Fully compatible with Euro pallets and pallet covers

Euroclick – Modular Euro-Footprint Bins for Automation

Euroclick automation boxes combine rigid structure and modular design, offering stable performance in shuttle and conveyor systems. They typically feature 600×400 mm or 650×450 mm bases, with precise stacking geometry and divider options for parts management.

LP AKL Equivalents

  • LP-AKL-6427 – 600×400×270 mm, optimized for conveyor flow and compact shuttle systems.
  • LP-AKL-6545-32 – 650×450×320 mm, heavy-duty reinforced base for automated environments.

Why choose LP AKL instead:

  • Wider range of heights and bases (smooth, ribbed, sandwich)
  • Seamless integration in shuttle and ASRS racking systems
  • Recyclable materials and long service life
  • Custom identification zones for RFID and barcodes

LWB – Deep Containers for High-Volume Shuttle Buffers

LWB containers are designed for deep storage and buffering, commonly used in shuttle or flow-rack systems. Their tall geometry allows maximum cube utilization while maintaining stiffness under dynamic loads.

LP AKL Equivalents

  • LP-AKL-6545-40 – 650×450×400 mm, high-volume container with reinforced sidewalls and base.
  • LP-AKL-8642 – 800×600×420 mm, ideal for deep buffer storage and heavy-duty shuttle operations.

Benefits of LP AKL for deep storage:

  • High rigidity under load with sandwich or reinforced base
  • Stackable and conveyor-compatible geometry
  • Suitable for ASRS and manual transfer integration
  • Consistent internal volume for automated inventory systems

Eureka – Flat Automation Trays for Conveyor and Shuttle Lines

Eureka trays are used in automated transfer and sorting systems, where low height and flat ribbed bases ensure fast sensor scanning and smooth transport across conveyor rollers.

LP AKL Equivalent

  • LP-AKL-6443-04 – 638×424×60 mm, ribbed bottom for stability and low deflection, designed for component transport and shuttle line interfaces.

Advantages of LP AKL vs. Eureka trays:

  • Identical automation compatibility with improved durability
  • Closed or open handles for manual operations
  • Optional label holders and RFID zones
  • Suitable for mixed manual and automated handling

Technical Comparison Overview

Series Typical Sizes (mm) Base Type LP AKL Equivalent LP Advantages
SASI 600×400×220–320 Silent reinforced base LP-AKL-6422, LP-AKL-6432 Low-noise miniload base, ESD version
Euroclick 600×400 / 650×450 Reinforced or sandwich LP-AKL-6427, LP-AKL-6545-32 Modular, durable, ESD-compatible
LWB 650×450 / 800×600 Deep reinforced base LP-AKL-6545-40, LP-AKL-8642 High volume, reinforced structure
Eureka 600×400×60 Flat ribbed tray LP-AKL-6443-04 Conveyor tray for cartons, small totes

Why Choose Logistic Packaging AKL Containers

The AKL automation container series is developed for automated handling, shuttle transfer, and ASRS integration, meeting or exceeding the mechanical performance of major European container systems.

Core Advantages:

  • Certified ASRS and AKL compatibility
  • Smooth, ribbed, or sandwich bases for every load profile
  • Available in standard or ESD conductive materials
  • Precise internal geometry for robotic grippers and conveyors
  • Fully compatible with plastic pallets and pallet covers
  • Optional label holders, drainage holes, and RFID tracking inserts

These containers are trusted by industrial automation, automotive, and logistics integrators for durability, low noise, and dimensional stability in high-speed warehouse loops.

Conclusion: The Smart Alternative to SASI, Euroclick, LWB & Eureka

While container families like SASI, Euroclick, LWB, and Eureka have become benchmarks in European automation, the Logistic Packaging AKL range provides the same level of technical performance with superior modularity, compatibility, and cost efficiency.
