Quick Cable Announces a Safe Way to Transport Leaky Batteries

Oct. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Franksville, WI, October 2014 – Quick Cable Corporation announced today the launch of its QuickContain Battery Recycling Kit. This kit meets transportation requirements for shipping used, damaged, or leaking batteries. It’s ready-to-use with printed transportation markings and all needed packaging materials contained within a self-closing UN 4G rated fiberboard box.

Transporting used, damaged, or leaking batteries can be dangerous and costly. Improper transportation methods may cause personal harm or property damage, and may lead to hefty fines related to environmental cleanup. Quick Cable’s QuickContain Battery Recycling Kit makes it easy to transport as there are no additional material required. Four layers of packaging materials are included to assure that the battery is sealed and safely secured inside the kit.

Due to its cardboard construction and patented design, the kit is more lightweight and economical than its plastic bucket counterpart; yet still offering a certified alternative to transport a leaking or damaged battery. This kit was tested under transportation performance requirements for UN2794 contents, and is UN 4G certified by a DOT UN third-party testing facility recognized under UN-4G/Z28.2/S/14/USA/+AI4428.

“This product is perfect for anyone who handles and transports damaged batteries,” said Paul Johnson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Quick Cable Corporation. “You have peace of mind knowing that damaged batteries are packed securely away, and they won’t be leaking all over the place.”

Product is available through Quick Cable distributors and other national battery distributors.
