STRAPPING

FINISHED PALLETS To prevent movement and potential damage to the boxes, it is essential to strap the pallet securely. ATTENTION: Tightly strap the base layers during the pallet-building process. Use 12.5 mm wide straps and AVOID USING SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS that could snap or deteriorate during transit. Position the straps at the correct layer and height to secure the areas with the most outward pressure, typically the bottom third of the pallet. Ensure that only straps with CORNER PROTECTORS are used to prevent damage to the cartons, and make sure ventilation holes remain unobstructed. NO loose metal clips or fasteners inside the cartons or among the fruit.

PALLET SECURING SHEETS , made from materials like cardboard or plastic, are inserted between stacked products on pallets to protect them from damage, stabilise loads, and aid organisation during transport and storage. The PALLET CAP is necessary for every pallet to minimise damage to the top cartons and reduce contamination.
