Steel pallet cuts handling costs


THE storage, handling and transport of idle pallets remains one of the major costs in the supply chain but a new product from Palletcorp , the Cleanest pallet, is designed to minimise these costs with a new nestable pallet.

Manufactured from galvanized steel, the pallet nests to occupy only 35mm in vertical space, representing a saving of more than 75 per cent in storage, freight and handling costs, and is suited to loop and delivery applications.

Despite the vertical space being thinner than most fork tynes, the format provides for individual or multiple pallet selection without the problems of binding or jamming.

The Cleanest pallet is said to safely interlock on standard pallet racking and provides the added feature of four-way entry for both fork tynes and pallet trucks.

Palletcorp claims the pallet is designed to fill a gap in the supply and distribution chain where there is a growing demand to provide the same clean transport handling systems required for in-house management.

The open style design provides for optimum standards of manageable hygiene.
