Why Replace Wooden Pallets?
Labour savings
Automates the handling process, reducing manual labor requirements and eliminating forklift dependency in many operations. Integrates seamlessly with PLC-controlled rail systems for automated grading and loading.
Enhanced safety
Eliminates risks associated with heavy wooden pallets, including splinters, sharp edges, and manual handling injuries. Creates a safer working environment for your team.
Prevents container damage
No nails, no splinters, no sharp edges. Protects shipping containers from damage that can result in costly repairs and delays.
Increased payload
Significantly lighter than wooden pallets, allowing more product per container:
- Standard capacity: 220 hides per container (vs. 205 with pallets)
- With hydro-extraction: Even greater payload advantages
- Direct cost savings: More product shipped per container means lower per-unit transportation costs
Space efficiency
When empty, SM Transporter Bags are lightweight and compact, requiring minimal storage space compared to bulky wooden pallets.
