Plastic pallet production facility launches

Demand in the UK market has escalated plans to manufacture locally at Craemer’s Midlands based production facility. Reduced lead-times, providing a quicker turnaround for customers – in addition to the removal of transport costs from Craemer’s factory in Germany – will offer benefits to UK-based customers.

The D3 range can be manufactured in virgin grade material, and from high grade regenerated material, offering a further significant impact on carbon footprint reduction.

Available in 3 or 5 base runner formats and with a tare weight of just 14/15kg, the D3 pallets are easily handled, and the load bearing is a substantial 1000kg (dynamic) – with additional load capacity of up to 1250kg – with the inclusion of corrosion protected reinforcement steel profiles. This 1200x1000x150mm pallet is an all-round load carrier for use in multi-disciplined environments and the chamfered edges on all sides of the runners makes the D3-5 ideal for use with forklift trucks. Other options include 7mm or 22mm surface rims for additional load stability and anti-slip plugs.

The investment in UK production from Craemer’s group headquarters in Germany demonstrates a significant commitment to local production and support the growth of plastic pallet applications in the UK.

Craemer’s head of material handling sales UK, Gero Liotti said: “Buyers are increasingly more aware and conscious of the negative impact of using less sustainable products and becoming more inquisitive of their origination and end of life credentials. To have truly meaningful, sustainable, returnable products for sophisticated manufacturing processes and complex supply chains, coupled with the understanding and knowledge of where products come from – including how and what they are made from – sit hand-in-hand with traceability, improving efficiencies and saving customers time & money.” Stand B21
