It's the pallet beneath your product that keeps your export business moving
This
writer remembers well the sound of a pallet of pet food crashing to the
floor from the raised ramp of a delivery truck. Most of the pet food
was canned, 24 cans to a cardboard tray—each tray wrapped in clear
plastic. Maybe there were 10 or 12 cases to each layer on the pallet—and
maybe the pallet stood ten-layers high—I really don't remember. What I
do remember, though, is that they were heavy loads. real heavy! And I
also remember that whenever they crashed to the floor, which, believe it
or not, was quite often, they made a Hell of a racket and caused an
awful mess. What never clicked with me at the time (I was a young
grocery-store assistant) was that I was watching a company's profits hit
the sidewalk time after time. What a waste.
Why?
Because a product was loaded onto the wrong pallet for the job.
Simple as that.
Crazy, I know.
Are
you a new entrepreneur just starting out and need to move product lines
nationally or Internationally? Are you a company that can't understand
why you are experiencing so much damage to your inventory during
transit? It cannot be stated forcefully enough. Selecting the right
pallet for the task at hand is vital to the successful running of your
business. Remember, it's the pallets that are carrying your inventory.
The carriers are only delivering it. You need to ensure that the pallets
you use to carry your goods are the right ones for the task at hand:
• Is your pallet supplier a reputable company, manufacturing a quality product?
• Are the pallets you use the correct dimensions to carry your product?
• Can they carry the weight of your product?
• Do you require your pallets to be two-way or four-way?
• Are your pallets HT ISPM 15 compliant?
There
are many questions that you need to ask. And they are all vital to the
success of your business, because the delivery of your product depends
on you using the right pallet for the job.
