THE PUSH PULL attachment provides a practical solution for handling palletless loads, allowing products to be loaded and unloaded using lightweight slip sheets rather than conventional wooden pallets.

For businesses transporting large volumes of goods internationally, the use of slip sheets can offer significant logistical benefits. Unlike bulky wooden pallets, slip sheets take up considerably less space, allowing more product to be loaded into each shipping container. This can help maximise available container capacity.

For Ahmad Tea, the move also supports its ongoing focus on improving the sustainability of its supply chain. The company has been working to eliminate wooden pallets from its operations and has highlighted the environmental benefits of using slip sheets.

Kevin Yates, senior operations planner at Ahmad Tea, comments: “The Push Pull attachment gives us a much more efficient way of handling our products on slip sheets. By removing the need for traditional wooden pallets, we can make better use of the space available in our containers and get more product into each shipment. It also supports our wider sustainability objectives by helping us reduce our reliance on wooden pallets.”

David Swait, Key Accounts Manager at B&B Attachments, comments: “It’s always rewarding to see how the right attachment can make a real difference to a customer’s operation. In Ahmad Tea’s case, the Push Pull provides a flexible and efficient way of handling slip-sheeted loads, while helping them move away from traditional pallet handling. It’s a great example of how we work closely with customers to understand their specific requirements and provide a practical solution that delivers genuine operational benefits.”
