Advantages of palletized pallet shipping for companies
International pallet transportation is very common as it has multiple advantages:
– Palletized cargo is much easier to move and manipulate, both for transportation and storage. For loading and unloading work or moving pallets, mechanical means are used, such as forklifts, cranes, pallet jacks or bulldozers.
– With this modality, considerable space savings are achieved, both in transportation and storage. The measurements of the European pallet mean that it can fit perfectly into 2,400 mm trailers, being able to place two or three adjacent ones, depending on whether the base measurement of 800 mm or 1,200 mm is taken as a reference.
– A cost reduction is achieved, precisely due to the space savings involved in transporting pallets and storing merchandise for palletized shipping.
– Less personnel are needed for loading and unloading or movement tasks, since these are carried out by mechanical means, also reducing the time used for these tasks.
– By having to handle less, the palletized merchandise suffers less damage during the transport of pallets, which reduces the cost of shrinkage.
– As a single cargo unit is constituted that contains different packages, it is more difficult for the merchandise to be lost or misplaced.
– The pallets are reusable, except for the cardboard ones, which are for single use, which means savings in costs and greater respect for the environment during national and international pallet shipments.
