Why is pallet quality so important?
The inconsistent build quality of white wood pallets can cause platform collapse, additional cost and delivery refusals, meaning more repairs and replacements. More sorting, too, as you try to decide whether the pallets are fit for purpose.
That’s why every CHEP pallet is independently verified to last up to ten times longer than other pallets.
Three ways CHEP can help you meet your pallet quality challenges
More standardization, less risk
CHEP pallets conform to industry standards and are designed for easier, safer and minimal handling.
Dimensional accuracy and consistent quality make CHEP pallets suitable for automated production, packaging and warehousing processes. That’s why so many large retailers accept them. Higher quality means less disruption to production lines.
A positive impact on the environment
Pallets last longer when they’re regularly inspected and repaired. Our process means fewer trees are felled and more wood waste is recycled. Independent research shows that CHEP pallets last up to 10 times longer than the white-wood equivalent. All this means less damage, less contamination and less CO2. Our sustainable solutions can have a positive impact on your business. Find out more.
Designed, tested and certified
Our pallets are designed, tested and continuously improved at our CHEP Innovation Centre to ensure everything is produced to a high quality. Higher quality means even lower wastage. When a CHEP pallet arrives at one of our service centres, it undergoes a rigorous process of inspection and, if necessary, repair, before being reused. We combine human quality assurance with the latest 3D laser-scanning technology to identify problems quickly and precisely.
