KePol parcel locker from KEBA - a reliable partner even in stormy times

Out-of-home delivery options such as delivery to parcel lockers are becoming increasingly attractive. Parcels can be dropped off and picked up around the clock, which not only saves the end customer valuable time. Delivery services can also use resources more efficiently and deliver parcels much faster. Pick-up stations develop their full potential especially when installed outdoors, as they can then be used completely independently of opening hours. However, parcel pick-up locker set up outdoors are exposed to a range of weather conditions. Whether extreme heat in summer, snow and ice in winter or storms in the transitional period: parcel stations must be available at all times to ensure high customer acceptance. Wind load in particular can become a major challenge here, as it can affect the stability of the locker. Climate change additionally favors extreme weather events and will cause them to occur more frequently in the future. A parcel locker that is well secured against wind load is therefore a good investment and absolutely future-proof.
