Lightweight Packaging for 155 Propelling Changes

Designed for both bagged and MACS charges, the C137, 155 mm Charge container is an innovative light weight logistics solution for the modern warfighter. At more than 30% lighter than traditional wood and steel packaging, the C137 represents a weight savings of 735 lbs per pallet. Lighter weight equipment eases the load of the already over-burdened warfighter, and provides opportunities to save costs on healthcare, vehicle maintenance, and fuel, while helping reduce carbon emissions and allowing logistics planners to maximize the payload of aircraft and other vehicles. Plastic is both lighter and safer, and with fewer dunnage components, there is less ammunition handling and minimum battle-field debris, improving safety outcomes in the theatre and in the ammunition plant.
