Think outside the cage

The Pally & Lid System, created and patented by Sheffield-based returnable packaging innovator, Loadhog, offers a complete and common-sense alternative to roll cages, pallets and stretch wrap. The system occupies the same usable footprint as a roll cage. The lid eliminates the need for metal sides and one-trip securing materials, such as wrap or banding, and increases load security.

Equipment weight is reduced by 60%; up to 64 loaded Pallys can be carried per vehicle, as opposed to 45 cages, delivering a 42% increase in vehicle utilisation to move the same quantity of product; and freeing up almost 80% of the space required for storage.

Pally is a combination pallet and wheeled dolly in one 800x600mm design, developed to meet the requirements of one of the country's largest grocery retailers. A simple foot press on a pedal at either end of the unit transfers up to 500kg load from pallet bearers to wheels or vice versa, making Pally stable immediately or mobile on demand.

This makes it an ideal platform to move goods quickly and efficiently between supply chain processes - from supplier to shelf or within a manufacturing process - without the need for forklifts or pump trucks.
