In 1973, Herbert Dischinger had the idea of manufacturing small plastic boxes that fit precisely into a metal case and marketing them as a complementary product. This enabled tradespeople to transport small parts, such as nuts and bolts, perfectly organised from one place to another. Sortimo was born and the metal case enjoyed great popularity – this system heralded a revolution. Sortimo metal cases are still very popular today. They are unique in terms of durability and functionality: the numerous different configuration options and equipment with insetboxes, dividers or foam inserts let you store and transport a variety of small parts and tools easily, securely and in an organised manner. The metal cases come in four different heights. This ensures that they can be used across industries – and always impress with their advantages. For example, the metal cases can be opened with one hand; with a 120 degree stop bracket on the cover. This achieves the ideal ratio between the required space and ease of use during loading and unloading. These and other best practices are the result of decades of further development.
The metal cases – of whatever size – can be integrated into all Sortimo transport solutions in just a few steps. The affiliation with the large ecosystem boasts enormous advantages in many ways. The Sortimo metal cases can be easily integrated into the van racking system, protecting them from slipping in transit. This is particularly important especially in extreme or dangerous situations on the road. After all, objects lying round – especially tools – present a significant danger. In the best case, only the material itself is damaged, but this can also lead to physical injuries – with dramatic consequences. These problems are now a thing of the past with Sortimo metal cases, especially when they are combined with the van racking system or WorkMo modules. At the same time, everything remains perfectly sorted.
