UK Pallet Rental

Pallet rental

In order to help companies avoid having to commit a large sum of money that could be better employed elsewhere we offer our unique storage products for rent rather than sale. In addition to freeing up capital for other purchases, this also means that your company will not have to be responsible for disposing of them once they are no longer required. Traditionally, businesses in the UK have used wooden or plastic products in their warehouses but this is not the most cost-effective solution owing to the disadvantages of these materials. The use of wood in commercial premises increases the risk of fire and therefore the insurance premiums that have to be paid, which makes them a bad choice financially. Metal pallets are obviously not a fire hazard and they have many other benefits too. They are made from UK sourced material as we are keen to deal with local firms and believe that they can supply us with better quality steel wire at more competitive prices than foreign companies. For a detailed explanation of what our products offer we are more than happy to discuss your requirements over the telephone and arrange a demonstration to show you their advantages.

Environmentally friendly

In today's business climate where companies large and small are expected to conduct their business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner it makes good sense to pursue policies that demonstrate a commitment to reducing your organisation's carbon footprint and steel pallets can form part of a company-wide policy that will have a demonstrable effect on your energy consumption. Metal conducts heat more effectively than wood or plastic so firms that deal with perishable food kept in a chilled warehouse will have to expend less energy cooling them down. Wood and plastic is also a lot less durable than steel which means that anything constructed with these materials will have to be replaced much more regularly than our products. Furthermore, owing to the fact that our metal products are lighter, companies are able to transport more goods on a single trailer than they could by using our competitors' offerings. These are just some of the reasons we are proud to be metal pallet manufacturers helping to change the way that industry thinks about the storage and transportation of all different types of goods, not just those in the food sector.

Saving money

It will naturally follow that the benefits outlined above not only reduce your organisation's impact on the environment by helping it to use less electricity and burn less fossil fuels but by doing so will also lower the running costs of your business. Although the economy may be making a gradual recovery at the moment we are still in a period where any measure that has a positive effect on a company's bottom line is extremely valuable. Doing business with steel pallet manufacturers will serve the double purpose of reducing your firm's operating costs and enhancing its image in the community. Any company that does not take steps to become more environmentally friendly could soon find itself out in the cold. Because our products are designed to take up less space as well, companies that use them do not need so much room for storing them. Many of our clients have chosen to deal with us on the basis of the cost and environmental benefits alone but the advantages of our product range do not stop there. A vital part of any organisation is its workforce and they also stand to gain from the switch to our metal storage units.

Metal pallets

By making a decision to utilise our range of storage solutions your company is not only saving money and helping the environment but, owing to the lighter weight of the steel wire used in their construction, it is also helping staff involved with the manual handling of our products. Comparing our lightest unit against one made from wood that has been sat out in the rain, the wooden unit can work out to be as much as 4 times heavier. Lighter units mean less chance of physical injury to your staff when handling them. So, by coming to us for your pallet hire needs, your personnel will benefit from less risk of injury and your company will benefit from having less people off sick at any given time. We are sure that the welfare of your employees is your main concern but the cost savings involved are also worth taking into consideration. It has a positive effect on staff morale too when they realise that their employer is taking an active interest in making it safer for them to carry out their work. A happy workforce usually discharges their duties more efficiently which again can lead to significant cost savings.

Steel pallets

Strength and durability are important properties in any product and especially so in ours. They have been independently tested by Lloyds and can take a static load of up to 10 tonnes which is far more than is possible with wooden units of a similar size. Owing to the smaller surface area they also allow air to flow more freely around them which means that for companies dealing with food they will help to increase the shelf life of any perishable goods that they store. Additionally, because they do not absorb moisture and are not prone to cracking or heavy scratching, they provide an inhospitable environment for bacteria which is a major plus factor. For a pallet rental solution that meets all of a food company's requirements we honestly believe that we offer the best option possible. Our products are much easier to clean and do not require any costly procedures in order for them to be acceptable for import into the UK which means that if your firm outsources part of its manufacturing operation to a foreign business partner, there is no need to worry about problems occurring when the finished article is returned to them on our units.

Convenience

Anyone who has worked with wooden storage units will know how much space they take up when stacked on top of each other and also how unstable such stacks can become. Stackable pallets such as ours are designed to fit inside each other and so not only take up much less room when empty but are also less prone to toppling over which will reduce the possibility of accidents resulting in injury to personnel or damage to company property. Because they absorb no moisture in adverse weather conditions your staff can be sure that when consignments are weighed out, the figure for the total weight of produce being sent to your customers is always accurate as the metal units will always weigh exactly the same, no matter what conditions they are kept in. The lightest product in our range is quite easy to handle so stacking pallets becomes a task that can be carried out by a single member of staff if necessary. With all the benefits outlined in this article we feel sure that your company will be interested in what we have to offer and are happy to provide a quotation in response to telephone or email enquiries.
