Premier Pallet Systems are continuing to expand their programme of Palletless Loading of products into containers and now offer numerous methods based around their range of load inverters.

With the increased implementation of ISPMI5 regulations. Premier Director, Peter Davis. sees a much greater likelihood that exporters will want to avoid the cost of shipping using expensive wooden pallets.

Sending loads on pallets to destinations where they are hand-balled out anyway has always been a costly exercise.

The original Palletless Loading System consists of a 180 degree inverter with a pusher on the sidewall. The pallet is gripped and the load inverted. A forktruck equipped with a pusher attachment and broad platens receives the load and drives into the container to discharge. Meanwhile, the system is re-inverting the empty pallet dispatching it to the opposite side and stacking it up.

A simpler alternative is to fit raised nbc to one table of the inverter allowing access by a multi-forkedl truck again fitted with a scissor push to discharge the load.

Most of the products handled in Premiers machines, be it milk powder in Ireland, sugar in the UK or boxed fish in Holland, is headed for third world countries where handballing goods out of a container is common place.

However, Premier have always been surprised how much travels this way to the United States and other more advanced markets. This indicates that the cost of labour at the destination is outweighed by the saving in space of pallets or other methods of manual loading at the point of origin.

Another concept complementary to Premiers inverter are the Dutch-built RollerForks. A conventional forklift truck is fitted with two, three of four of these specially designed types which are equipped with duel sets of tiny rollers. The load, minus the pallet, is picked off the ribbed table of the inverter and driven
into a container. As the truck reverses, the rollers work in opposite directions, one set going backwards on the container floor, the other causing the product to roll off forwards into position.

With any of these systems, the producer has the benefit of the use of conventional pallets in-house and the option to decide at the correct moment which product is to be exported and by what method. This flexibility is the key to cost savings and to giving the customer the load in the form they want it
