Buyer’s Guide: Long Goods Cassettes from MEILLER – Efficient Storage and Safe Transport for Industrial Long Goods

Long goods cassettes are a practical and durable solution for the temporary storage and safe transport of bulky, elongated materials such as steel bars, aluminum profiles, beams, or sheet metal. Whether used in industrial manufacturing, metalworking, or logistics, these transport frames provide a secure and space-efficient way to handle long goods within your facility or on the road. At MEILLER, we manufacture and supply premium-quality long goods cassettes made entirely in Germany, designed to withstand heavy-duty use in demanding operational environments.

Our long goods cassettes are engineered for performance: each unit supports up to 2,000 kg in load capacity and can be stacked up to six units high. The robust steel frames are available in either powder-coated or hot-dip galvanized finishes, ensuring corrosion protection even in outdoor or humid environments. Equipped as standard with forklift pockets and crane lifting eyes, MEILLER long goods cassettes ensure seamless integration into your existing logistics infrastructure – whether you’re using forklifts, overhead cranes, or other industrial handling systems.

What Are Long Goods Cassettes?

Long goods cassettes are open, steel-framed containers specifically designed for the secure storage and transport of long-format materials. Their structure allows full-length support of the goods inside the cassette, preventing sagging, bending, or accidental shifting during handling. This is particularly crucial when transporting high-value materials such as precision steel, custom aluminum extrusions, or delicate surface-treated bars.

To enable safe and efficient handling, each cassette is equipped with integrated forklift pockets and crane lugs. These allow the cassette to be transported vertically or horizontally, providing operational flexibility in warehouses, production halls, and during loading processes. Despite their size and strength, the frames are designed for uniform stacking, enabling space-saving storage of up to six loaded units. This stacking compatibility helps reduce transport meters and optimizes storage in container yards or production staging areas.

Tailored for Industry – Made in Germany

MEILLER long goods cassettes are developed and manufactured at our production facility in Germany, where we combine decades of metalworking expertise with strict quality control standards. We do not rely on imported goods – every cassette we offer is built with precision-welded steel and designed to meet the daily demands of industrial use. Our in-house production allows us to offer fair pricing and short delivery times, and it enables us to respond quickly to requests for customized solutions.

We provide a wide range of standard cassette sizes, including lengths of up to 6,100 mm. However, we also understand that not all storage and transport tasks fit within standardized dimensions. That’s why MEILLER offers bespoke solutions tailored to your specific requirements – including custom lengths, special load capacities, and open frame designs.

Practical Accessories for Long Goods Cassettes

To enhance usability and protect sensitive materials, MEILLER offers a variety of accessories compatible with our cassette systems. One of the most popular add-ons is the removable front door – ideal for storing remnants or short offcuts. These doors can be mounted at the cassette ends and, when not in use, hung on the side of the frame for space-saving convenience. This allows even small material sections to be safely contained, minimizing the risk of falling objects or workplace hazards.

We also offer support trestles for easier loading of long goods into the cassette. By placing materials on the trestles and then lowering the cassette onto them, operators can drastically reduce handling time. The system is flexible and adjustable to accommodate different cassette dimensions, making it suitable for varied use in different departments or facilities.

For internal transport without cranes or forklifts, MEILLER supplies mobile cassette trolleys with high-capacity rubber wheels and integrated brake systems. These allow workers to move fully loaded cassettes manually across the shop floor with minimal effort. Whether transporting from the cutting area to the welding station or moving parts to the dispatch zone, our transport trolleys increase workflow efficiency while reducing dependency on heavy equipment.
