The pallet is an essential in transportation of goods and is highly valued by customers and shippers.
An essential element in the storage and transport of goods, the pallet has revolutionised logistics flows since the beginning of the 20th century.
This handling accessory is designed to group as many packages as possible on a small surface. Better known as “palletisation”, it is ideal for speeding up handling, storage and transport. Grouping several packages on a pallet allows shippers to optimise the loading rate of the container. It is capable of holding several tonnes of goods.
The Euro pallet (1200 x 800 mm) is the most commonly used pallet in Europe and is made of thick, sturdy wooden planks. It is suitable for storing and transporting bulk cargo. In addition to facilitating transport, palletising protects the goods from the moment they are packaged, keeping the product in perfect condition and protecting it from external weather conditions until it is delivered to its destination. This tool is suitable for all sectors of activity and for all the needs of their consumers.
