Thanks to the exchange of pallets, we provide you with the possibility of optimizing your activity and reducing your carbon footprint! This solution makes it possible to reduce both the distances traveled with empty trailers and the kilometers required to return pallets.
In order to guarantee safe transport in a truck, the goods are strapped and transported on a EUR pallet. The latter is a wooden pallet with four entries, in accordance with the quality standard 435-2-0. The basis of the pallet exchange is very simple: a truck transports empty pallets to the place of loading and exchanges them against goods already on pallets. The driver then drives to the unloading location with his loaded truck and delivers the goods. The driver must therefore normally collect the same number of empty pallets in exchange, promoting an efficient pallet cycle.
Even if this service requires precise management and organization, the exchange of pallets has significant advantages for both companies and carriers:
● Reduced cost: Exchanging pallets makes it possible to avoid buying a new pallet for each shipment. In this way, a pallet is reused 3 to 4 times on average.
● A positive impact on the environment: This solution makes it possible to reduce empty truck trips and therefore their CO2 emissions. In addition, EUR pallets not only come from sustainably managed softwood forests, but they have the advantage of being repairable, reusable and recyclable.
