Manufactured entirely from one of the most advanced high strength steels available on the market and with ultra thin walls. The material used and the new design significantly increases the useful life of the container. The container became the winner of Swedish Steel Prize 2005.
CMT – the company that specialises in hooklift containers – has been closely following the development of new high strength steels. This has enabled CMT to develop containers that are lightweight, have high strength and offer major cost benefits to its customers. A decisive factor is that CMT has used the new materials to produce economically beneficial solutions.
“We have found out how to handle these materials effectively and we are confident that we will be able to step up our production rate.” New ideas are already on the drawing board at CMT. "The choice of material is directly related to the economic benefits we can offer our customers", states Martin Wåhlin, Managing Director of CMT.
