How Safe Are Those Products You Shipped On That Pallet?

By July 27, 2021 No Comments

All sorts of products are shipped on pallets these days. Boxes get stacked on top of each other, and they all rest on the wood or plastic platforms. There’s certainly nothing wrong with packing stuff up in this way. It’s often cheaper to ship by pallet load with a passive pallet cover than individually shipping packages. Of course, truckers don’t mind because pallets are neat, compact, and simple to load/unload.

However, once the pallets are out of the shipper’s sight, everything is out of their control. They must merely hope for the best and that the transporter will safeguard their goods from the heat. After all, it is going to get awfully hot in the back of that trailer. Some of the items that often ship via pallet and can’t handle high temperatures are as follows.

  • Electronics
  • Perishables
  • Paints/Chemicals
  • Wines

The last thing sellers want is for products to reach their destinations in less than perfect condition because of the heat, but what can they do? It’s out of their hands, or is it? So we have a little something known as a passive pallet cover that is for single use. Shippers can install these coverings before pallets get loaded onto trucks. Then, that should provide them with peace of mind.

The SureTemp Prime Model Passive Pallet Cover

This passive pallet cover is primarily for heat protection, which is excellent at the moment due to the temperature outside climbing every day. However, if you’re interested in protecting products from the cold, perhaps one of our other passive pallet cover options will be a better fit. Did we mention that the Prime covering is lightweight? It’s true, and that means you don’t have to lug around heavy pieces that would probably put a strain on your back. Doesn’t that sound nice?

These pallet covers are oversized to fit standard pallet loads. They also come equipped with a special slip-additive that makes installation a breeze. So, don’t wait any longer, as doing so could thrust your goods into harm’s way on the back of a trailer. Instead, contact us to get your hands on stellar single-use pallet covers and take your shipping to the next level. Then, you can thank yourself later when products aren’t returned day in and day out with heat damage.
