Reference Project: Gebhardt Logistics – Precision Metal Stamping for the Insulated Roll Cage Container Isotec® TBX
Customer Success Story: Gebhardt Logistics & LIV Systems - Taking a well established solution to the next level
At LIV Systems, we don’t just manufacture components — we help companies take proven products to the next level
When Gebhardt Logistics set out to push its Isotec® container to the next level it needed more than a supplier. It needed a development partner who could think, design, and deliver alongside its team.
That collaboration produced the Isotec® TBX variant — the next step for a platform customers already trust.
1. The Challenge: Elevating a Proven Cold-Chain Solution
Backed by a strong record in logistics innovation, Gebhardt Logistics spotted an opening to push its established cold-chain container into a more demanding market segment—one calling for tighter temperature stability, greater durability, and smoother container handling.
Rather than starting from scratch, Gebhardt set out to engineer the next-generation version of its already successful insulated container, upgrading every structural element to safeguard product integrity across diverse temperature-controlled environments. Meeting these tougher benchmarks meant integrating stronger load-bearing frames and high-mobility components purpose-built for cold-chain abuse.
That’s where LIV Systems entered the picture, contributing decades of know-how in precision metal stamping and component manufacturing for sensitive, temperature-critical applications.
2. The Collaboration: Engineering Support from Concept to Launch
As Gebhardt began designing the new Isotec® TBX, LIV Systems was engaged from the outset to support the development of custom-engineered components tailored to the container’s technical and environmental requirements.
“The cooperation between our team and LIV Systems has been outstanding,” shared a Gebhardt Logistics representative. “Their deep understanding of materials and manufacturing enabled us to bring a truly differentiated solution to a new market.”
LIV Systems’ role centered on reinforced metal structures and high-performance castors, designed specifically to endure the physical and environmental stresses unique to cold chain logistics—without compromising on mobility or durability.
3. The Solution: Purpose-Built Components for Reliable Cold Chain Transport
The launch of the Isotec® TBX introduced a premium container to the cold chain logistics market, offering a combination of design innovation and advanced engineering support. LIV Systems contributed key components that ensured the container met rigorous operational demands:
-
Precision-Stamped Metal Reinforcements: Engineered for structural strength and durability, providing critical support for container loads while maintaining lightweight efficiency.
-
Advanced Corrosion Protection: Featuring self-healing surface technology to guard against degradation from moisture, chemicals, and transport wear—ideal for long-term use in refrigerated supply chains.
-
Custom-Designed Castors: for Cold Chain Use Manufactured with a proprietary compound that preserves flexibility and ensures smooth maneuverability in controlled environments, from refrigerated warehouses to transport hubs.
These contributions enabled Gebhardt to deliver a product with the resilience, efficiency, and handling performance required by today’s demanding cold chain logistics operations.
4. A Trusted Partnership & Future Opportunities
With the successful launch of the Isotec® TBX, Gebhardt has extended its product portfolio into a strategically important segment—thanks in part to the specialized engineering expertise of LIV Systems.
“Our collaboration with Gebhardt is a great example of how engineering depth can support product innovation,” said a lead engineer at LIV Systems. “The Isotec® TBX proves what’s possible when design and manufacturing work hand in hand to solve real-world logistics challenges.”
