What benefits can pallets and palletised distribution bring to your business?
Why choose pallets?
Pallets are a smart choice for a wide range of businesses. They allow for the easy storage and movement of goods. They can make transporting goods around the country and beyond simple. They’re strong enough to carry most items without it presenting any kind of issue in terms of safety. The stable base ensures that all items remain secure and undamaged. They are versatile and are easily stacked. They’re widely available and cost efficient making them a popular choice for many different industries.
When you choose a wooden pallet, you know it can be reused many times. There’s a ready market for used pallets, with many finding their way into gardening projects, fencing and even furniture. Wooden pallets are an environmentally friendly choice.
Why choose palletised distribution?
Palletised distribution is the process of moving goods in pallets from one part of the country to another or overseas. Specialist companies with expertise in handling all kinds of palletised goods collect pallets from businesses and then distribute then onwards. Most pallets are designed to hold a total weight of around 1000kg. The cost of sending a single pallet to a single end-user would work out as too cost prohibitive to be a practical choice for most businesses. Palletised distribution networks make it affordable, practical and easy to ship large quantities of goods.
What is a palletised distribution network?
It’s logistically difficult, if not impossible, for the average company with a single base to make 24-hour pallet deliveries across the country and beyond. To make it work, the company would need to employ hundreds of drivers and maintain a large fleet of vehicles. This applies to manufacturers and pallet delivery companies, so how does the latter ensure that it gets its client’s goods where they need to be in the promised time?
The answer is a palletised distribution network. This will comprise of a number of companies working closely together. By combining resources they’re able to provide efficient, cost-effective distribution for their clients.
