KLT (Kleinladungsträger) are the standard small containers of the German automotive supply chain. The VDA RL-KLT series has a smooth base for conveyors and automated handling, a uniform stacking interface and label areas in defined positions — which is why buyers search by the type number (3147, 4147, 6147).
Because the dimensions are standardised, the purchasing questions are mostly about material grade, weight tolerance, colour, label holder layout and delivery rhythm. We qualify moulders on dimensional checks against the VDA drawing and weigh samples before series production.

Frequently asked questions
What does “RL” mean?
RL-KLT have a smooth base (Rollenbahn-tauglich), suited to roller conveyors and automated systems.
Are Chinese KLT fully compatible with European ones?
They must match the VDA dimensions and stacking interface. We check samples against the drawing before series production.
Can you supply lids?
Yes, matching lids and dividers are available for common types.
