Product damage can hurt your profitability and your reputation. But with managed pooling, CHEP takes responsibility for pallet quality and can carry out a rigorous inspection of each pallet before it is reused.
For you, this means a reduced risk of pallet failure, less product damage, spillage and contamination, and less chance of having to re-palletise loads.
The inconsistent build quality of white-wood pallets can cause platform collapse and delivery refusals, meaning more repairs and replacements. More sorting, too, as you try to decide whether the pallets are fit for purpose. If supply chain managers or transporters don’t feel confident in their quality, there could be secondary packaging and extra inspections as well.
Around 4.1% of consignments on white-wood Euro pallets experience damage during transit, as a result of pallet failure*, compared with just 0.16% of those on CHEP Euro pallets**. And damaged products squander raw materials and energy, adding waste to landfill sites.
