Great advantages with the new Epal pallet 1000x1200 mm
Finally the Epal Board has adopted the new standars for pallets mm 1000×1200 under the UIC 435-5.
Compared with the usual Epal mm 800×1200, the use of such new Epal mm 1000×1200 will surely bring enormous benefits to its wider base area. For example:
– they have higher capacity: practically they can be loaded with a 25% more of any material, thus meaning that all logistical operations (internal transfers, loading-unloading, bar-coding, wrapping and what else) will be run proportionally faster and in better efficiency;
– thiey do skid smoother on roll-conveyirs, even when rolls are rare;
– the risk of falling of these pallets in stacks during conveying is less probable.
And more, also fro a commercial point of view they sould sort out some benefits:
-in the nearest future they would cost less than mm 800×1200 since they are made with small size timber sawn out by trees of little diametre that is commonly less expensive
– their standards are nearer to North-American standards
– their better efficiency would restrain significantly the quantity of waste-pallets to re-work or worstly polluting our countries
