In this article, as a case study for utilizing UPR's Pallet rental service , we interviewed Mr. Nitipong, Managing Director of Pet Protect, about how the service was introduced and his impression of it.

Durability of pallets is essential for maintaining the quality of pet food

Pet Protect takes the storage of pet food in its warehouses very seriously, taking care to ensure that all products are kept in perfect packaging. However, when transported by forklift, damage to the pallet itself and pet food products can easily occur, and the company had the following problems

・The unbranded black pallets previously used were damaged due to collisions with forklift, etc.
・The load-bearing capacity of pallets were low, and broke easily when heavy objects were placed on them.
・The company tried welding steel to the pallets to increase their strength, but this was time-consuming and costly.

＜Pet Protect's requirements for pallets＞
✔ Sturdiness and durability
✔ Load-bearing capacity of 1 ton or more

UPR's square green pallets that contribute to warehouse operation efficiency.

The company learned about UPR's pallet rental service on the Internet and, after using the service on a trial basis, decided to actually implement the service. It has been using the service for almost two years and is very satisfied with the quality of the pallets and the quality of service provided by the UPR staff.

Size: 1,100L × 1,100W × 150H (mm). It supports a load capacity of 1.0 ton when transporting and 4.0 ton when stationary.

■ Pallet quality
The square shape makes it easy to place in a container, and it is easy to use because there is no need to close the corners when arranging. Also, it is easy to transport and saves time.

The green pallet, which is not often seen at other companies, is easy to see even in the warehouse, so it is easy to find the pallet when receiving the goods.

■ Service by the staff
The products are placed on pallets that are stack up on top of each other, leading to frequent use, but UPR's staff always respond quickly. It is very helpful because they supply the right number of pallets when needed.

▲ Product boxes designed to fit the pallet size perfectly have made operations even more efficient.

Satisfied with smooth communication of UPR staff Continued adoption of pallet rental service at the new warehouse

The company is planning to open a new warehouse due to business expansion and intends to continue using UPR's pallet rental service.
