GEBHARDT describes the pallet-based TBX variant as having a hot-dip galvanised steel pallet base. This catalogue detail does not mean every operation needs this base or that it requires no maintenance; verify the ordered configuration.
Obtain finish and maintenance details. Check the technical sheet for base material, finish type and which parts are covered. Ask the supplier in writing for washing chemicals, contact time, rinsing, drying and repair instructions after damage.
Compare with site conditions
Record where units are parked, how often they get wet, how they are washed and whether forklifts or pallet trucks contact them. Compare this with manufacturer maintenance instructions; a finish alone does not guarantee maintenance-free use or service life.
Do not choose wheeled or pallet-based variants by finish name alone. Compare access, handling compatibility, cleaning workflow and verified model features in one decision table.
