MAUSER Introduces the New Drumguard® Load Securing System
Bruehl, Germany – Users of industrial packaging are facing increasing challenges with regard to load securing and sustainability. Often, transport safety is realized by using large quantities of load securing materials. In global goods transport, however, these solutions are not practical for the entire distribution chain, as picking and rearranging of cargo is common. As a result, load securing for loading units is renewed several times during transport to end customers. Drumguard® Quattro improves this process by combining economic advantages with a modern, sustainable concept.The system only consists of two components and is therefore much easier to handle than conventional load securing straps as well as stretch and shrink films. There is also no need to invest in machinery for pallet securing.
“With the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy, the European Union announced a paradigm shift at the start of 2018, and MAUSER, as one of the pioneers for sustainable industrial packaging, is always searching for new ways to reduce the use of materials, and to develop products that can be used several times and recycled in the best possible way,” explains Klaus-Peter Schmidt, Head of Product Development and Global Sustainability Management at MAUSER. The robust design of Drumguard® Quattro allows the system to be reused instead of using single-use plastic or metal products.
