Think outside the cage
April 1st 2011 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. More articles from Loadhog Ltd: |
