The new pallet size has been developed to meet the needs of retail customers and e-commerce brands and is ideal for use throughout regional and nationwide distribution centres.
The launch of the new service was initiated by Palletline’s commercial steering group, which is headed by Palletline board director Jonathan Edge, managing director of Edge Transport.
He said: “The introduction of the Half+ pallet results from extensive research amongst the member network and has been developed with their customers in mind. It provides a flexible, efficient and cost-effective solution and demonstrates our continuing desire to continue to develop an innovative product service offering.”
The new pallet type offers multiple benefits, including optimising warehouse racking and vehicle usage as well as providing a cost-effective solution for customers with a requirement for something larger than a half pallet.
Palletline’s group managing director Graham Leitch said: “Not only does our new Half+ product enable us to offer our members additional flexibility in terms of their offering to customers, it is also an ideal fit for our partnership with Amazon as we’re the only UK pallet network included in its Inbound Preferred Carrier Programme.”
