Goplasticpallets.com’s versatile plastic
pallet collar is proving a popular
addition to the company’s range
of pallet accessories, which is little
surprise considering the significant
benefits it offers over traditional
solutions for protecting goods in
storage and transit.
Jim Hardisty, Managing Director of
Goplasticpallets.com, said: “Historically
stretch wrapping and pallet walls have
been used to offer added protection
to palletised goods to avoid damage
and unauthorised access, but these
solutions are only suitable for a limited
range of applications and present
several problems. Wrapping, for
instance, ensures goods remain intact
but offers zero security; and pallet
walls, whilst they prevent goods being
tampered with, they require tools to
assemble and take apart making them
more cumbersome to use.
“Our versatile plastic pallet collar offers
superior protection over traditional
options without the disadvantages, plus
it comes with a number of additional
benefits.”
Goplasticpallets.com’s pallet collar is
quick to assemble and disassemble,
offers users flexibility since they can
be built up to the height required, and
folds down flat easily when not in use
saving valuable transport space on
return journey trips.
Protecting goods in
storage and transit
Goplasticpallets.com can personalise
your pallet collars by screen printing your
logo or company name. Lids are also
available as an option for added security.
Jim added: “Currently our pallet collar
is being used for a range of different
applications since its versatility is
limitless. One of our retail customers has
switched from using a wooden frame
system to using our pallet collar for
shipping bathroom sets to limit damage
and benefit from the product’s reusability.
We also have a catering customer using
our pallet collar for transporting glass
milk bottles to prevent them getting
smashed.”
Available in two standard sizes – the
PC 1208 Pallet Collar measuring
1200mm (L) x 800mm (W) x 330mm (H)
and the PC 1210 Pallet Collar measuring
1200mm (L) x 1000mm (W) x 330mm (H)
– Goplasticpallets.com’s pallet collar
can transform a plastic or wooden
pallet into a robust storage container in
seconds.
Users can dictate the height of the box
they wish to create, since the collar can
be built up in increments of 330mm
to accommodate any load required
meaning less warehouse space is
wasted. This stage by stage assembly
also makes loading goods much easier
and safer, since no leaning into a part
empty box is required.
The same applies to shipping; no one
wants to pay for empty spaces to be
shipped. With Goplasticpallets.com’s
pallet collar users can tightly pack
goods to prevent contents shifting and
limit wasted space, reducing shipping
costs on outbound journeys.
As the plastic pallet collar is reusable,
there is no packaging waste unlike
with stretch wrapping which presents
a costly hassle to remove and recycle.
When not in use, Goplasticpallets.
com’s pallet collar folds down flat
which takes up minimal space in transit,
considerably lowering the cost of
return journey trips. A standard sized
trailer can hold up to 832 pallet collars
in total – 26 stacks, piled 32 high.
