Replacing 50,000 Wooden Pallets with Plastic for a Global 3PL

GlobalShip 3PL
Logistics & Warehousing

Summary

From high-bay racking to cross-docking, logistics and warehousing operations depend on material handling equipment that keeps goods moving safely and efficiently. Our plastic pallets are engineered to handle the rigors of 24/7 distribution environments, reducing downtime, lowering replacement costs, and improving warehouse safety.

Food-grade hygienic pallets helped Naturale Foods pass FDA audits with zero non-conformances and reduced product contamination incidents by 100%.

Problem Statement & Challenges Faced

Wooden pallets were costing GlobalShip an estimated $2.4M annually in replacement, repair, and labor costs. Broken boards and protruding nails caused frequent product damage and warehouse safety incidents. Inconsistent pallet dimensions also created problems with their newly installed automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS).

The Solution

CHT-P1208-HD, CHT-P1210-N — After a 6-month pilot program at 2 distribution centers, GlobalShip selected our CHT-HD1210 heavy-duty pallets for high-volume floor storage and CHT-RK1210 rackable pallets for AS/RS integration. Our engineering team worked closely with their operations team to optimize pallet design for their specific racking dimensions and automation equipment.
