What does it mean?
A platform used to group packages into a load that can be handled with suitable lifting equipment. Dimensions, construction, stackability and load condition influence storage space and transport planning.
In practice
Cartons are secured to a pallet so the warehouse can handle them as one unit.
Before requesting a quote
A warehouse request should explain both the goods arriving and what needs to happen next. Storage duration, inventory identification and order frequency help define the operation. Include temperature requirements or special handling conditions so storage and outbound transportation can be coordinated together.
- Products, quantities and incoming package dimensions
- Expected storage period and receiving schedule
- Order preparation, dispatch and temperature requirements
