Lead shipping container for safe transport of radioactive materials

Von Gahlen designs lead shipping containers for the safe and controlled transport of radioactive materials in vials and capsules. Our containers provide reliable radiation shielding and support secure handling throughout your supply chain.

We develop these solutions for nuclear medicine, radiopharmacy and isotope logistics, where reliability is critical.

Designed for safe and compliant transport

We develop our lead shipping containers for regulated environments with strict safety requirements. We design them to meet specific operational and regulatory standards, such as Type A and US DOT.

This allows you to transport radioactive materials safely while remaining compliant with applicable guidelines.

Reliable shielding and practical use

We design each container to deliver the required level of shielding based on the material and activity. At the same time, we focus on ease of use in daily operations.

• Our containers combine:
• Effective radiation shielding
• Robust and stable construction safe and practical handling

When selecting a lead shipping container, you balance several technical factors. The required shielding level depends on the type and activity of the material, while the total weight affects handling and transport efficiency.

Higher shielding increases protection but can reduce usability during frequent transport. For high-frequency processes, we design containers that combine sufficient shielding with manageable weight and ergonomic use.

We also align the container dimensions with your contents and transport method. This ensures stability, safe positioning and smooth integration into your workflow.

Standard and customized solutions

In addition to standard configurations, we develop lead shipping containers tailored to your shipping process.

We adapt dimensions, shielding thickness and materials to fit your application and requirements.

Why choose Von Gahlen

With in-house production and engineering expertise, we develop lead shipping containers that fully match your application.

Instead of forcing your process to fit a standard product, we tailor each container to your workflow, shielding requirements and handling conditions.

This results in compliant solutions that also work in daily practice, especially in environments where reliability and repeatability matter.
