(Newswire.net — May 16, 2013) Tampa, FL — We probably take for granted the life and existence of a pallet for businesses that transport and store goods from warehouse to trucks to storage rooms, but there is a whole methodology towards caring for these seemingly innocuous wooden crates. Premier Pallets is a national distributor of pallets based in Tampa, Florida. Their model for working with pallets is a bit unique in that recycled and remanufactured pallets is a core part of their business. Wasting good lumber and not utilizing their reusable quotient is a travesty.
“We track the ways that pallets are handled and incorporate an educational approach with our clients. We guide them on handling pallets by teaching fork lift operators better handling techniques for their longer useful life. It is the fork lift that probably causes the most damage and ‘deleterious’ effect on a pallet”, as described by Premier’s principal, Scott Shaw.
Weathering is another factor that impacts the lumber and the pallet’s life. Indoor or outdoor environments along with wet or dry circumstances can age or better preserve the pallet. Some businesses have what is described as an “open pool” or “closed pool” of pallets which describes whether a pallet stays within a given businesses system as opposed to once used, a pallet is then out of the business’ system and is no longer their control. A closed pool enables a business to truly invest in their pallets and track the initial purchase price for that pallet and thus can amortize that investment over the longer term that that pallet is used and cared for.
With trees and deforestation becoming a hotbed for environmental naturalists, the need for this level of attention to a pallet’s life which saves money, but also saves the planet, is critical. Lumber, the staple of a pallet’s construction is by default at polar ends of the environment spectrum, however with companies like Premier Pallets that are eco conscious and bottom line savvy, they contribute in a major way towards protecting our carbon footprint and reinforcing good citizenry all across the board
