Custom inserts and trolleys with inserts for material transport
Custom textile and PP board inserts
Depending on the components being transported, we manufacture custom textile and PP board inserts – either for transport containers and pallet boxes, or as trolleys with inserts built on our modular tube system.
Custom textile inserts, also known as textile pocket dunnage, provide soft, flexible separation between individual parts. They are particularly suitable for components that require surface protection and reduced contact with one another.
PP board inserts are lightweight, rigid and dimensionally stable – we make them from PP board as well as from Akyboard®. They create precisely defined compartments and determine the position of individual parts within the transport packaging.
We select a suitable design based on the dimensions, shape and surface of the parts, the required storage arrangement and the handling conditions.
Custom inserts – design and manufacture
We design each insert for its specific application. In particular, we can adapt:
- the dimensions and shape of individual compartments,
- the number of parts accommodated,
- the way components are loaded and removed,
- the required level of part protection,
- the dimensions of the transport container or pallet box,
- the handling method and workstation supply arrangements.
Our sales engineers can assess the parts and workstations directly at your site, and the solution can first be tested at a single workstation.
Inserts for containers and trolleys with inserts
We can adapt inserts to transport containers, pallet boxes, logistics trolleys and various modular systems. We design their dimensions, layout and attachment method to suit the specific parts and conditions of use.
We can also design and manufacture a complete trolley with inserts using our modular tube system, tailored to the specific inserts and operational requirements – including ESD antistatic and stainless steel versions. For transport without inserts, see our transport trolleys.
| Insert type | Properties | Suitable for | Attachment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Textile insert (pockets) | soft, flexible separation of parts | painted, visible-surface and sensitive parts | sleeves, eyelets or hook-and-loop |
| Self-supporting textile insert | keeps its shape thanks to inner reinforcement | parts in transport containers and pallet boxes | placed directly into the box |
| PP board insert | lightweight, rigid and dimensionally stable | precisely defined part positions | fixed compartments in a box or trolley |
| Trolley with inserts | inserts in a modular tube frame | supplying workstations and production lines | steel, ESD or stainless steel frame |
Frequently asked questions
What are custom transport inserts used for?
Enprag transport inserts separate individual parts or components, keep them neatly organised and help protect them from contact with one another and damage during transport, storage and handling.
Do you manufacture custom inserts?
Yes. Enprag designs and manufactures inserts to suit specific parts and operational requirements. The dimensions, number and size of compartments, their layout and the material used can all be customised.
What is the difference between a textile insert and a PP board insert?
A textile insert is soft and flexible, making it particularly suitable for gently separating painted parts, parts with visible surfaces and other sensitive components. An Enprag PP board insert is more rigid and dimensionally stable, allowing more precise definition of individual compartments and the position of the components inside them.
Can inserts be used in transport containers and pallet boxes?
Yes. Enprag designs the dimensions and layout of the inserts to suit a specific transport container or pallet box and the parts to be stored in it.
Are inserts suitable for the automotive industry?
Yes. Enprag inserts can be used to transport and supply components in the automotive industry and other manufacturing operations where individual parts need to be clearly separated and protected from damage.
Can you design and build a trolley with a custom insert?
Yes. Enprag designs and builds a complete trolley with inserts from the modular tube system, including a textile insert or PP board inserts – tailored to your parts, material flow and operational requirements.
Need custom inserts?
We will discuss your requirements for storing and transporting parts and propose a suitable insert design for your operation. The design, including a 3D visualisation, is free of charge.
