Pallet Stacking Machines
Pallet Stacking Machines (sometimes referred to as a Palomat) can provide numerous benefits to a warehouse or factory operation. Pallet handling in the workplace can be very time consuming, and can cost businesses a lot of time and money, due to inefficient processes with a lot of manual handling. If your organisation handles pallets, purchasing a pallet stacking machine could provide huge benefit, enabling your business to be more efficient and in turn increase profitability.
The adoption of a dedicated pallet stacking and de-stacking solution can enable the following:
- An improved working environment for your employees. The removal of manual pallet stacking and de-stacking will provide your workforce with a much better environment to work in. Stacking of pallets manually can put a huge strain on employees, and so removing this strenuous activity will be a great improvement to their working environment.
- Reduced overhead costs. Reduced costs are presented in two ways, the first is a reduction in the damage of pallets. Often employees push pallets off the top of a stack to retrieve them, often breaking the pallets as they hit the ground. Pallet stacking machines (aka Palomat) would remove this damage completely. The second reduction in overhead comes from the increase in productivity, employees can now work a lot more efficiently, possibly resulting in a reduction of staff requirements in certain areas of an operation.
- A focus of your labour resources on value adding activities. Pallet stacking machines allow employees to focus on tasks that add value to your product or service, removing a large portion of non-value adding activity from their day to day tasks.
- A tidier workplace. Pallet stacking machines provide a dedicated area for pallet holding, meaning employees know where to take pallets, and where to collect them from. In general this will result in a tidier workplace, with less pallets dotted around.
- A reduction in injuries. The removal of manual pallet handling will hugely reduce the instances of pallet related injury in the workplace. Back injuries due to poor handling techniques, or trapped hands and toes due to the weight and size of pallets, these will reduce significantly, or disappear altogether.
