Avoidable distribution hazards are impacting the products you ship. The best way to ship? Design a unit load for your product. A unit load combines multiple items into a single “unit” that can easily move through the distribution process.  Unit Load Damage Packaging your product as a unit load requires organizing and restraining items to allow shipping as a single mass. Many of the hazards that loom in the shipping process can be avoided simply by using a correctly-designed unit load.
So what should you watch out for when packaging your unit load? Glad you asked! Here’s our list of the top 5 most common unit load mistakes. It’s inevitable. Recent trends show your freight costs are going to increase through 2014. Pallets and freight can be a major expense for your company.

Don’t scrap that moldy pallet just yet... we might be able to save it! The bad news is you found mold on your pallets. The good news is that mold grows on the surfaces of the pallet components. This surface growth does not structurally degrade the material - at least not in the short term.  If the mold growth is in the early stages and has not yet degraded the wood, you might be able to save your pallet. |
