The way goods are stored and handled has changed over the last few decades. With better transportation infrastructure, goods are now shipped faster and more efficiently, but there is still a need to protect them both in transit and when stationary.
Traditional pallets can only be stacked if the goods themselves are strong enough to support the weight of what sits on top. And if the goods are not strong enough, then this can lead to a huge amount of wasted space in the warehouse or storage unit.
However, with pallet retention units you can increase your use of space, reduce expenditure on storage and work towards a more profitable business. Plus, you can improve the health and safety aspect of your warehouse and help to keep staff safer as they work.
What are pallet retention units?
These are collapsible wire cages that are attached to a standard pallet shape. This both gives the pallet more integrity but also allows them to be stacked, no matter what goods are being stored.
With shipping space at a premium, it’s imperative to find better ways of storing and stacking goods, making better use of warehouse space and driving profitability. The foldable nature of pallet retention units mean you can save space when they’re not in use, and the strength of the cage means pallets can be stacked higher and stronger. So, you get the strength and load capability of a fixed storage unit, but without the loss of warehouse space that you incur with larger non-movable units.
Not only are pallet retention units better for your profitability and warehouse space, but they also prevent accidents from poorly stacked pallets. A reduction in work place accidents is both beneficial for your employees, who can work in a safer environment, but also for your business. This is because safer storage means reduced legal expenditure and work-related injury costs.
The benefits of pallet retention units
Pallet retention units are highly durable and capable of bearing heavy loads over long periods of time. This means that they are a long-term investment and great value for money. They can also save space and reduce stock damage and the risk of injury to staff, improving the overall health of your staff and your business.
What’s more, they allow you to see easily what is contained within the pallet. There is no need for mile after mile of plastic pallet wrap, and you don’t need a knife to cut the plastic just to see what is inside. And when empty, they are simply stored away without too much fuss.
If you’ve been suffering from storage concerns in your warehouse or have never been able to stack pallets more than one high, then pallet retention units could be just the storage solution you need. Make better use of your available space, organise your storage area better and tidy your space when not needed. And with long lifespans, you might not need any other storage units ever again.
