Labelmaster Launches Recall Ready Program for Large Format Lithium Batteries

Comprehensive Program Provides Custom Packaging and Hazmat Shipping Support to Simplify the Recall Process for Large Format Lithium Batteries

December 14, 2021 (Chicago, IL) – Labelmaster, the leading provider of products, services and technology for the safe and compliant transport of dangerous goods (DG) and hazardous materials (hazmat), today announced the launch of a new Recall Ready Program for large format lithium batteries. The new program helps simplify the recall process by providing manufacturers and distributors of large format batteries with a comprehensive reverse logistics solution that includes regulatory guidance, custom packaging, customer service, ecommerce platforms, training and more.

“Recalls are unplanned and challenging events that companies across the supply chain are not typically ready for, and for which they often make mistakes that cost time and money and put them at risk,” said Pia Jala, vice president, Labelmaster. “Recalls are especially difficult when they involve large format lithium-ion batteries, such as those found in electric vehicles, because they are big and heavy and fully regulated hazmat, so they cannot simply be put into a normal box and crate and shipped like other goods. They also require coordinated activities with various supply chain partners, which is often outside of their normal scope or area of expertise. The Recall Ready Program is designed to help companies plan for the unplanned and take the stress and uncertainty out of the recall process by managing it for them. Our turnkey solution combines deep DG supply chain knowledge with a proven packaging system that’s being used to transport recalled batteries worldwide.”


An End-to-End Recall Solution

A leader in lithium battery shipping solutions, Labelmaster provides companies of all sizes with the expertise, packaging, technology and process improvements they need to ship large and small format lithium batteries safely and compliantly. Labelmaster’s new recall Ready Program expands on its comprehensive solution offering by giving battery manufacturers, auto manufacturers and dealers, and other business partners the packaging, DG supply chain and regulatory expertise, and end-to-end supply chain support they need to manage the entire recall process safely, compliantly and efficiently.

• Custom packaging for your specific batteries: Large format lithium batteries are big, bulky and can weigh anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds, with that weight not evenly distributed. This requires specialized packaging that can handle the size and weight of the battery being shipped, while complying with hazmat shipping regulations for shipping damaged, defective, or recalled (DDR) batteries. The Recall Ready Program provides custom packaging solutions with specific components to meet an organization’s unique shipping needs, including:
o Custom crating design & testing
o Crating construction with inner components per DOT regulations
o Assembly and closure instruction manuals
o Crate and replacement part inventory program
o Crate damage assessment (to determine if still compliant from multiple transits)

• Hazmat expertise and supply chain support: Effectively managing a recall requires more than just packaging. It requires understanding of complex hazmat shipping regulations, and coordination with a variety of supply chain partners, including manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers, recyclers, carriers and more. The Recall Ready Program provides the end-to-end support businesses need:
o Regulatory interpretation and guidance
o Liaison with DOT and other regulatory bodies for clarification
o Required hazmat training for fully regulated shipments
o 24/7 consulting assistance
o Secure landing page portal for dealers and/or supply chain partners

Jala added, “There’s a lot that can go wrong when recalling large format batteries if companies don’t have the right processes, expertise and technology in place. Labelmaster’s Recall Ready Program gives them a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that will help them avoid mistakes and ensure a smooth and efficient recall process.”

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use. This setup enables workers to quickly locate the components they need, reducing downtime and saving time. Creform offers multiple flow lane options and can create virtually any hybrid solution.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.
