The thermomechanically rolled steel combines lightness with stability and is predestined for countless applications where high load-bearing capacity combined with optimized weight savings is essential. This applies to high-tech and complex machinery and relatively simple containers.

Fine-grained structural steel for special containers

Skips are among the most frequently used containers. It may seem a simple task to carry a maximum-capacity load, but the advantages of lightweight skips are many-faceted. Skip containers made of high-strength steel can be parked most anywhere at any time and their design can be flexibly adapted to their specific loads and loading requirements. The transportability of skips is not complicated at all. and these fundamental advantages have now been fully integrated by voestalpine using high-tech materials and intelligent design. A revolutionary skip container is the result. At maximum load, it is approximately 25% lighter and significantly more stable than any other skip container on the market.

The skipster container is made of high-strength alform® steels, and its maximum lightness and stability are impressive.

Excellent properties for extreme mechanical stress

Significant weight savings can be achieved when using thermomechanically rolled steel from voestalpine.

25% lighter

When made with alform®, the skipster weighs roughly 25% less than conventional skipster containers with the same volume. The weight reduction results from the special stability of alform® steels that allow reduced material thickness in the skipster container design without impairing stability. The light weight and maximum load-bearing capacity of the skipster container make it more cost-effective than conventional products, especially in long-term use.

Skip containers are exposed to high mechanical loads. Fine-grained structural steel from voestalpine ensures that these do not become a problem.

Maximum loads

The enormous stability of alform® becomes very evident when the material is subjected to maximum stress. When compared to conventional containers, skip provides a significantly higher level of safety at maximum load. Even with reduced material thickness, skipster loads can easily withstand the limits, and their very good bendability is convincing. This means that the skip volume can be utilized to full capacity.

The excellent weldability and easy formability of high-strength alform® steels can be processed cost-efficiently. The excellent weldability and easy formability of high-strength alform® steels can be processed cost-efficiently.

Highly efficient

Material processability plays a major role in the production of skips. Optimum weldability and good flexibility are particularly important properties. The alform® steels perfectly meet these expectations. The fine-grained microstructure ensures excellent formability, while the low carbon content combined with a temper-resistant material design results in excellent weldability.

The skipster container provides a variety of advantages thanks to the high-quality, fine-grained structural steel.
