Increasing numbers of companies are stepping over to palletless shipping methods due to the high costs of pallets. According to the Timber Packaging & Pallet Confederation, the wood used to make pallets has become significantly more expensive this last quarter and pallet manufacturers will be passing on these price increases to its customers. By doing away with pallets, especially for sea container shipments, major cost savings can be made.

Palletless handling

If customers decide to move to palletless handing, then a slipsheet attachment needs to be purchased, e.g. RollerForks^® or a PushPull attachment. The one-time purchase of either RollerForks^® and/or a PushPull system means that customers are then dependent on a regular supply of slipsheets. Quality, price and delivery reliability are issues of major importance when selecting a slipsheet supplier.

MSE-Forks has launched a website listing a huge choice of such suppliers at www.slipsheetsuppliers.com. This website makes MSE-Forks' supplier portal the most comprehensive and up-to-date available. We trust that we have been of service to you as a current or potential future user of our products.
