What Makes Palletless Loading a Game Changer in Shipping?

How Does a Palletless Loading System Work?

In industries where freight is typically unloaded piece by piece at the destination, traditional shipments on pallets often result in unnecessary costs. One innovative solution is palletless loading, where elements like Premier Pallet Inverters seamlessly fit into the ecosystem to eliminate the need for pallets entirely.

Why Consider Going Palletless?

Eliminating the use of pallets cuts the costs associated with manual stacking and the potential losses of pallets themselves. Additionally, using pallets that meet ISPM 15 regulations can be expensive, so circumventing this necessity brings substantial savings. By optimizing the space and weight within containers, palletless systems increase efficiency.

What Makes Premier Pallet Inverters Exceptional for Palletless Loading?

The core of a palletless loading system, Premier Pallet Inverters, are designed to invert products a full 180 degrees. This not only retains your in-house pallets but also allows for rapid container loading. Particularly suitable for destinations relying on manual unloading, this system ensures efficiency and speed.

Why "Handballed" Loads Benefit from Palletless Systems?

Typically, goods sent on pallets require manual unloading, a process that incurs costs without adding value beyond the initial loading convenience. Compliance with ISPM15 pushes costs even higher, prompting exporters to seek more economical options. The ever-rising cost of wood further amplifies this argument.

How Does Palletless Loading Work in Practice?

Initially, materials secured on a pallet are placed in the inverter.

Upon initiating a single-button hydraulic system, the pallet is gripped, the load clamped, and rotated 180°.

A second forklift truck, equipped with specialized platens and push-pull attachments, approaches. By manipulating the inverter’s sidewall, the load is transported onto the forklift’s platens.

The forklift moves swiftly to unload the materials into the container. Activating a button, the inverter is reset to its original position.

Freed pallets are then routed to an accumulator for stacking.

Is Remote Control an Advantage?

Remote operation from within a forklift's cab offers seamless control, streamlining the loading process even further.

How Does the Original Palletless Loading System Function?

This system includes a 180-degree inverter with a built-in sidewall pusher. As the load is inverted, a fork truck with pusher attachments discharges the load from one side. Simultaneously, the system reinverts the empty pallet for orderly stacking elsewhere.

Multi-Tyne Trucks: Are They the Simplified Solution?

Adding raised ribs to one inverter table allows access for multi-tyned trucks. These trucks, fitted with a scissor push mechanism, effectively handle load discharge.

Why is This Method Prevalent in Various Regions?

Many products, whether it is milk powder in Ireland or boxed fish in the Netherlands, are shipped this way, indicating labor costs at the receiving end often justify these methods. However, similar practices are noticeable even in places like the United States, suggesting the cost-benefit balance still favors this system.

How Does the Dutch Roller Fork System Complement Premier’s Solutions?

Dutch-built RollerForks are invaluable additions, fitting standard forklifts with specially designed tynes outfitted with dual roller sets. These allow the efficient picking and placing of palletless goods within a container, simplifying logistics.

What Flexibility Do These Systems Offer?

The ability to use traditional pallets within an organization, choosing the method of export only when necessary, provides a strategic advantage. This flexibility results in significant cost savings and satisfies customer preferences in how loads are received.
