Solution overview
The Tower KT400 flexi fit container comes with unique pack-out options allowing for a multitude of different pharmaceutical packaging alternatives to be transported safely, simply and easily. It offers 120-hour product protection for -20°C (frozen), +5°C (refrigerated) and +20°C (controlled room temperature), using phase-change technology. All Tower KT400 flexi fit containers have a built in data logger which ensures door-to-door-compliant payloads with no human intervention throughout transit. Suitable for use with narrow- and wide-bodied aircraft, reefers and all road-transport options.
