Tractor-trailers get loaded down with all sorts of things at once. Sometimes, they are full of food items, beverages, and live plants. With the latter, reefer units are often necessary to prevent them from wilting and dying. On other occasions, big-rig operators use cargo blankets to protect products from hot and cold temperatures. Both methods work well and help packages arrive at their destinations without harm. Many times, however, truckers have to deal with mixed shipments. As such, part of the load needs to be safeguarded from the elements, while the other half does not. Dragging out a cargo blanket can be a hassle when only one or two pallets require protection, and using a reefer unit for the pallets would be a waste of money. Thankfully, there is a better solution you can turn to – a passive pallet cover.
What Is A Passive Pallet Cover?
Our pallet covers are similar to the SureTemp insulated blankets we sell, only smaller. A passive pallet cover from the SureTemp Premium Line features a metalized aluminum film laminated to polyethylene bubbles. Consumers can choose between single or double-bubble trapped air technology that serves as insulation. Both options protect against heat and cold. The coverings are lightweight and easy to install.
How They Can Be Of Assistance When Shipping Lotions And Shampoos
Pallet covers are considered secondary forms of protection. They are ideal for creating a cold chain environment for a few pallets here and there. When lotions and shampoos get subjected to extreme temperatures, their ingredients can separate, freeze, or become clumpy. The last thing anybody wants is to pour such liquids into their hands or on their hair only to discover that it isn’t quite what it’s supposed to be.
Passive pallet covers can keep such mishaps at bay. They maintain the cold chain for less-than-load (LTL) and air shipments. So regardless of whether your shampoos and lotions are being transported by plane or truck, we have the perfect product for you. The coverings we offer can be beneficial when pallets are left outside on loading docks or tarmacs for extended periods. The foil layer reflects sunlight and minimizes temperature excursions. Aside from lotions and shampoos, pallet covers offer excellent protection for other products too. Perishables, wines, and medications are several of them.
We have pallet covers designed for single use and multiple uses. One or both styles could be ideal for your company. Give us a call to learn more today.
