Why do companies use EURO pallets?

1. Some carriers will not send your cargo without EURO pallets.


EURO pallets or EPAL pallets are part of the standard shipping method in almost all industries that ship freight. EURO pallets enable quick and easy unloading of trucks and containers, as well as rationalization of tracking and organization procedures. Cargo that is stacked on the floor of a container without EURO pallets moves more often during transport and often needs additional protection in the form of cargo straps or bars. Because of this, many carriers believe that cargo that is loaded on the ground is not worth the extra work to transport it safely.


2. EURO pallets make it much easier to move and handle goods.


Forklift and a EURO pallet go hand in hand; together they provide by far the simplest and fastest way to move products around the warehouse. Most types of transport pallets are designed specifically for lifting and moving with a forklift. Cargo loaded on the ground is much more difficult and time-consuming to transport without special equipment.


3. EURO pallets open up various storage options.


Forklift operators can place EURO pallets on high shelves, opening up many possibilities for vertical organization. Without EURO pallets, many working hours would be spent just putting and removing products from high shelves.


4. Stacking goods on EURO pallets enables efficient tracking and counting of stocks.


Efficient stock management is essential for every warehouse, and EURO pallets separate goods into units that are easy to count and monitor. By using inventory systems such as barcode scanners on pallets, warehouse staff can effectively monitor stocks and incoming and outgoing shipments based on the barcode identification marks on EURO pallets.


5. Most types of pallets can be reused.


Many pallets (including EURO pallets) will be suitable for several uses after shipment. Although many EURO pallets still end up in landfills, there are many ways to improve this with little effort. If you want to make your business more environmentally friendly, recycling or reusing EURO pallets is a great place to start.
