Meat market pallet offering beefed up

Goplasticpallets.com has launched its own version of the Euro H1 pallet, the most widely used pallet in Europe in the meat sector.

The IPS 1208 Euro H1 is particularly suited to the meat and fish industries as the top deck contains a series of apertures, which allows for easy drainage should spillages occur.

The pallet is compatible with the standard European 'E2' stacking containers and can be used in temperatures ranging from -30ºC to +70ºC.

The company says: "The IPS 1208 Euro H1 plastic pallet offers food suppliers a quick and easy solution for the dispatch and delivery of large volume orders. The supplier packs its meat or fish into the plastic stacking boxes, which lock into place on the IPS 1208 Euro H1 pallet to ensure safety in transportation." The pallet is manufactured using food grade virgin HDPE.

When compared to wooden pallets, the IPS 1208 Euro H1 plastic pallet is superior for hygiene as cross contamination issues associated with loose component parts, nails and splinters are avoided, and it can be easily cleaned, manually or with an automated system, says the company.
