WOODEN PALLETS

Wooden pallets are common in a wide range of applications that require product transport. Stacked on other pallets and moved between lorries, trains and warehouses, pallets are undoubtedly heavily exploited. The intensive work of pallets creates damage, which can be a threat to people working with them. Wooden pallets are usually repaired to make them suitable for further use. And if they are too damaged to be repaired, the wood can be recycled. Both repair and recycling are very cost effective and environmentally friendly.

STILLAGE METAL CONTAINERS

 

Metal mesh containers are durable, foldable and stacked baskets that make it easy to pack, move and store heavy products. Stillage containers are made of steel and their design ensures maximum safety of stored products. In such containers, heavy items such as machines and equipment, e.g. from the automotive industry, are stored. Although the steel they are made of is a durable construction material, it can warp and simply deteriorate. Stillages are often used in difficult working conditions, which also exposes them to damage. This does not mean, however, that such a worn product should be immediately replaced with a new one.
