Hygienic alternative
Heralded as a real alternative to wood for transit packaging, Polymer Logistics’ next generation of produce pallets is reported to deliver not only flexibility in load carrying and space saving, but also cost savings in the supply chain.
Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is well known for its large strength to density ratio, the Produce Pallet ‘Cleanpal’ is tough enough to cope with the rigours of the supply chain such as mishandling. As it is manufactured from HDPE, the Produce Pallet is washable thus making it more hygienic than the wood alternative and is also suitable for use across a variety of other industries including the pharmaceutical industry.
Available in 1200 x 1000 x 162, the Produce Pallet ‘Cleanpal’ is said to really come into its own when it comes to nesting capabilities. Essentially the produce pallets fit inside each other, thus they are nestable. This means that more can be stacked in one space compared to the wood equivalent, which sit upon each other rather than in. This is vital in today’s backroom space-limited retail environments.
When it comes to the return of empty produce pallets, the nestable feature allows to optimise the space inside the lorry accommodating up to three times more produce pallets compared to the wood alternative. This delivers much needed savings in fuel and transport costs.
