Sustainable benefits

Thanks to their strength, dimensional consistency, minimal deflection under load, and incredibly long lifespan – which is over 10 times longer than a wooden pallet – plastic pallets can be the reliable and reusable piece in the operational jigsaw, helping organisations increase efficiency.

Recently, a global provider of technologies and services that help advance and accelerate the development and manufacture of therapeutics approached Goplasticpallets.com for expert advice.

This global player in the pharmaceutical industry had recently opened a multi-million-pound facility in the UK so that they could better service their customers, reduce lead time for products, achieve well-timed deliveries, and improve their sustainability. 

The customer ordered 1,500 of the IPS 1208 M3R Closed plastic pallets, 4,100 1208 plastic pallet collars, and 300 GoPalletBox 1208 plastic lids and uses them in the production and storage of vital vaccine components.

Seamless fit

This effective combination of products operated incredibly well. The pallet collars fit seamlessly with the pallets, and the drop on lids provided added security so the customer could safely store products in their racking system.

The pallet has a proven track record for long-term use and has racking capabilities of up to 750kg. Its three runners make handling and retrieval with manual forklift trucks easy too. 

The customer benefited from this pallet, collar, and lid combination as it offered flexibility with the number of collars they could use, giving them different storage heights as required. It also provided container-like protection (with a solid base, structurally solid walls, and lid) but with none of the wasted space when not in use. The three components can be separated, stacked, and stored, saving considerable space compared to a rigid pallet box which cannot collapse or fold down.

Sustainability is a significant long-term advantage with these impressive plastic products too.

The pharmaceutical company can have complete peace of mind knowing that they will not have to replace the plastic pallets, collars or lids over the next decade or longer.
