PALOMAT handles more than only Euro pallets

11-Mar-2015 - Denmark

An increasing number of companies now target protecting staff from heavy, manual lifting of pallets in a safe working environment. At the same time, the pallet market is changing from mainly Euro pallets to numerous custom-pallet formats. The PALOMAT pallet magazine can easily solve these issues.

Avoid lifting heavy pallets

“A standard Euro pallet weighs around 25 kg or 55 lb depending on whether it is wet or dry. The PALOMAT pallet magazine is a great solution because pallet handling is easy and user-friendly at floor level, e.g. using a hand pallet truck. The workers are spared from lifting the heavy pallets and this boosts efficiency,” explains Majbritt Svane, Area Manager at PALOMAT.

A pallet is not just a pallet

Among the PALOMAT customers, the Euro pallet is still the most used pallet type; however, there is a trend that companies increasingly convert to custom-sized pallets to suit their production, logistics and markets.

“The pallet sizes vary quite a bit in the requests we receive. However, we emphasise our position as an innovative supplier, where safe use of our products has top priority. This is why the PALOMAT pallet magazine was designed for easy adaption to the many different pallet sizes found in the market without compromising safety,” adds Majbritt Svane.

Size is not an issue

Recently, a German dealer received shipment of three pallet magazines designed for 2,600×1,200 mm pallets. This customisation was easy to achieve for Thomas Lind Gadegaard, product engineer at PALOMAT:

“The PALOMAT has a modular design – just like LEGO building bricks. Thanks to our many years of experience in design and manufacture of pallet magazines, it is quite easy to adapt a standard PALOMAT to exactly match the pallet size used by the customer. We can adapt the PALOMAT to handle any type of 4-way pallets.”

Custom-adapted PALOMATs have also been supplied to customers like Coca Cola, Siemens, Procter + Gamble and Pepsico.
