 Loadhog system a dead cert for CERT
February 1st 2005
Lids from Sheffield-based packaging specialist, Loadhog, are now being used by CERT Logistics to ensure the safe handling and transport of returns through the CERT Group network.
CERT is a leading firm in the bonded warehousing and distribution of fine wines and spirits. With a single bottle of champagne costing as much as £8,000, safety and security are key issues.
“People tend to pay lip service to returns,” says CERT commercial director, Laurence Abel. “If there are only a few bottles or a couple of cases it is difficult to ensure they are loaded and transported without damage in a full trailer which can carry 26 pallets of stock. There is also the chance of tampering and theft.” Of the Loadhog lids, Abel says the company has so far been “very impressed”. He added that if everything goes well with the returns trial, “CERT will look at potentially rolling out Loadhog into general logistics”.
Loadhog is a robust plastic lid that secures loads to any wooden or plastic pallet, eliminating the need for strapping and shrink wrap. More articles from Loadhog Ltd: |
