The necessary experience
Terra Logístika representatives warn that palletizing merchandise is an action that requires skill on the part of those who carry it out. In these cases, it is best to have the support of specialized companies that provide the required advice. It is essential for the choice of stowage, which is the wooden, plastic or metal platform on which the merchandise is grouped.
There are also several stowage measures, such as American, European or semi-stowage. An expert opinion can decide which is the most suitable in each case. The members of Terra Logístika point out that the selection of the platform depends on 4 factors. The first is the type of merchandise being handled and the second is the equipment used to handle the products.
The choice of stowage will also be determined by the storage systems available and the type of supplier of the goods.
In any case, the stowage must be solid and of adequate size for handling by the forklift or stevedore. Likewise, it must be able to keep the merchandise grouped and protected throughout the transportation process. Terra Logístika offers a national distribution service for palletized merchandise recognized for having these characteristics.
