CHEP Updates European Pallet
Design, New Pallet Roll Out Well
Under Way in Spain
Madrid – CHEP continues to place
investment in innovation and the quality
of the pallet pool at the heart of its
strategy in Europe. Its main objective, it
reports, is to adapt to the changes and
demands of the market and to the needs
of its customers.
In November 2018 the company
introduced a new design update to its
traditional 1200 x 800 wooden pallet in
the European market. The 1200 x 800 is
already being used by CHEP customers
in 23 countries. In this process, CHEP’s
commitment to investment in Spain is
particularly relevant, as it is one of the
26 WESTERN PALLET
countries where the transition to the new
improved pallet model is taking place at
a faster pace, with 3 million pallets (out
of a total of 5.7 million in Europe) already
delivered.
The new pallet is described as a more
robust platform that offers higher quality
and safety, as well as higher performance
and durability. It maintains the same
dimensions and tolerances as the prior
pallet model so that operations in the
supply chain and automatic warehouses
are not affected.
