Compartment Divider & Separator 1150x90x5 mm for KLT & Euro Containers – lock-it© MINI90 Slot-In Divider Strip
The Compartment Divider & Separator 1150x90x5 mm slot-in divider strip for KLT and Euro containers is a flexible solution for the structured division of plastic containers, standard containers, crates, stackable containers and transport boxes. As a lock-it© MINI90 slot-in divider strip, it is particularly suitable for the organised storage, sorting and safe transport of small parts, technical components, screws, bolts, turned parts, milled parts, plastic parts, electronic components and spare parts.
In many companies, components are stored loose in KLT containers, Euro boxes or storage crates. This can quickly lead to disorganisation, time spent searching, mixing and possible damage. A slot-in divider strip provides a simple and effective solution: the interior of the container is divided into individual compartments. This keeps components better organised, allows them to be removed more quickly and keeps them better separated from one another during internal transport.
The MINI90 variant has a height of 90 mm, a thickness of 5 mm, a length of 1150 mm and a flexible 20 mm grid. This allows the slot-in divider strip to be cut to size individually and combined with additional slot-in divider strips. This creates custom-sized compartment grids, subdivisions, divider combs and separators for different container sizes and applications.
With a height of 90 mm, MINI90 provides greater lateral guidance than MINI40, MINI50, MINI70 or MINI80. The variant is therefore particularly suitable for taller small parts or components that need to be separated more securely, guided more effectively and presented more clearly within the container.

Why Compartment Dividers Are Useful in KLT and Euro Containers
KLT containers and Euro containers are standard equipment in many companies. They are used in storage, production, order picking, assembly, shipping and internal transport. Without dividers, however, small parts often lie loose in the container. As a result, parts can shift, become mixed or be damaged.
A slot-in divider strip turns a simple container into a structured load carrier. Each compartment can be assigned to a specific item number, assembly, size, colour or process stage. This improves clarity and supports stable workflows.
A divided container is particularly helpful for
- Kanban systems
- Assembly supply
- Spare parts logistics
- Picking
- Production buffering
- Goods In and Goods Out
- Quality Assurance
- Shipping Preparation
- Workshop Organisation
- Maintenance
Employees can identify more quickly whether the correct part is in the correct compartment. At the same time, it becomes clear whether a compartment is empty or needs to be replenished. This supports process reliability and can reduce errors in the workflow.
Component Protection Through Separate Compartments
An important advantage of the slot-in divider strip is the protection of components. If small parts lie loose in the container, they can rub against one another, become jammed or be damaged. Particularly in the case of sensitive surfaces, visible parts or small precision parts, this can lead to scrap or rework.
By dividing the container into individual compartments, components are kept separate from one another. They remain in their intended position and can be removed in an organised manner. Although the slot-in divider strip does not replace soft padding, it provides clear mechanical separation. For sensitive parts, it can also be combined with foam, nonwoven fabric, interlayers or other protective materials.
Typical Components for Compartment Division
- Plastic parts
- Metal parts
- Turned parts
- Milled parts
- Small parts with sensitive surfaces
- Painted parts and visible parts
- Electronic components
- Connectors and clips
- Seals and springs
- Screws, nuts and washers
- Spare parts and assembly components
Particularly in production and assembly processes, a clearly structured container is helpful. It not only protects the components but also makes the entire workflow clearer.
20 mm Grid for Flexible Compartment Sizes
The 20 mm grid is a key feature of the MINI series. It enables fine compartment division and flexible adaptation to different component sizes. The grid helps to create compartment sizes in a repeatable and systematic manner.
Depending on the container size, narrow, wide, short or elongated compartments can be created. This allows the available interior space of the container to be used more effectively. Flexible compartment sizes are particularly important for small parts, as the components are often of different sizes.
Possible Compartment Concepts
- Uniform Compartments for Single-Type Small Parts
- Elongated compartments for profiles, pins or small rods
- Small compartments for screws, nuts and washers
- Larger compartments for assemblies or sets
- Separate areas for different item numbers
- Compartment division by production step
- Compartment division by colour, size or variant
- Mixed compartment sizes within a container
The grid allows the compartment division to be planned and repeated as required. This is particularly practical when several containers are to be equipped identically.
Can Be Cut to Size
The slot-in divider strip is supplied in a length of 1150 mm. It can be cut to the required length. This means it is not limited to a specific container type but can be adapted for various KLT containers, Euro containers, standard containers and crates.
Before cutting, the internal dimensions of the container should be measured. It can then be determined how many compartments are required and how the strips should be arranged. In many cases, lengthways and crossways slot-in divider strips are combined to form a stable compartment grid.
Suitable for Various Container Types
- KLT Containers
- Euro Containers
- Standard Containers
- Stackable Containers
- Transport Boxes
- Storage Crates
- Workshop Boxes
- Spare Parts Containers
- Order-Picking Crates
- Assembly Containers
The cut-to-size design is particularly advantageous when different container sizes are used within a company or when a specific compartment division is required.
PP/PE Recycled Material Mix
The lock-it© MINI90 slot-in divider strip is made from a PP/PE recycled material mix. This material is well suited to many standard applications in warehousing, logistics, production and workshops. PP and PE are widely used in industrial container and packaging technology because they are robust, moisture-resistant and easy to handle.
The recycled material mix provides an economical and resource-efficient solution for many applications. For special requirements, virgin material or special colours can also be requested depending on the project.
Special colours can be useful when containers are to be colour-coded. For example, different colours can identify different item groups, production areas, lines, customers or process stages. This improves visual organisation and can reduce the error rate.
Use in Warehousing and Intralogistics
Clear organisation is essential in warehousing and intralogistics. Parts must be easy to find quickly, clearly assigned and safe to transport. The slot-in divider strip supports these objectives by structuring the interior of the container.
Typical Areas of Application in Warehouse Logistics
- Small Parts Storage
- Spare Parts Storage
- Kanban Racks
- Order-Picking Stations
- Goods Receiving
- Goods Out
- Shipping Preparation
- Production Supply
- Interim Storage
- Buffer Storage
- Quality Assurance
An organised container saves time. Employees do not have to spend a long time searching for parts. Checks are also easier because each compartment has a clearly defined function. Compartment division can significantly improve the process, particularly for recurring items or the assembly of sets.
Use in Production and Assembly
In production, components often need to be provided directly at the workstation. If parts are stored in a disorganised manner within the container, this results in search times and potential sources of error. A slot-in divider strip can help to make component provision clearer and more process-reliable.
Potential Applications in Production and Assembly
- Provision of Assembly Components
- Sorting of Fasteners
- Separation of Variants
- Preparation of Assembly Kits
- Supply of Assembly Lines
- Interim Storage of Semi-Finished Parts
- Quality Assurance and Inspection Areas
- Prototype Construction
- Small-Batch Production
- Series Production
Standardised compartment division is particularly useful for recurring processes. Each container can be set up in the same way. This simplifies training, reduces mix-ups and supports well-organised process management.
Use in Workshops and Maintenance
Good small-parts organisation is also important in workshops and maintenance. Screws, nuts, seals, spare parts, clips and small parts are often stored in crates, racks or workshop trolleys. Without separation, disorder quickly develops.
The slot-in divider strip allows workshop containers to be divided individually. This enables spare parts and consumables to be sorted clearly.
Typical Workshop Applications
- Sort Screws
- Separate Nuts and Washers
- Store Spare Parts
- Prepare Repair Kits
- Organise Maintenance Materials
- Separate Seals and Small Parts
- Store Electrical Components
- Organise Mobile Workshop Crates
- Organise Tool Accessories
Particularly for small parts, clear compartment division is a simple way to save time and maintain order over the long term.
Use in Shipping and Transport
During internal transport or shipping, loose components can shift within the container. This can lead to mixing, damage or disorganised delivery conditions. Slot-in divider strips help to keep parts better positioned.
The MINI90 slot-in divider strip is particularly suitable for transport boxes that are used multiple times. Within reusable logistics loops, containers can be used repeatedly with the same compartment structure. This is practical when components are transported regularly between the warehouse, production, assembly or customers.
For sensitive parts, the slot-in divider strip can be combined with protective layers, foam, nonwoven fabric or custom-fit compartment grids. This provides enhanced component protection during transport.

MINI System or MAXI System?
The MINI system is designed for KLT containers, Euro containers, standard containers and smaller components. It uses a thickness of 5 mm and a 20 mm grid. This makes it particularly suitable for fine compartment divisions and small parts.
The MAXI system is designed for larger components, pallet boxes, GLTs, pallet collars and large load carriers. Thicker and taller slot-in divider strips are used for these applications. Depending on the design, they use different grid dimensions and are suitable for larger compartment structures.
In Brief
- MINI System: for KLT containers, Euro containers, small parts, fine compartment division and compact containers.
- MAXI System: for GLTs, pallet boxes, pallet collars, larger components and more stable compartment structures.
The MINI90 slot-in divider strip is therefore the right choice when small to medium-sized components need to be separated in KLT or Euro containers and greater lateral guidance is required.
