Schütz presents a new IBC steel pallet

Featuring a much larger contact area, the 3-skid steel pallet by Schütz ensures the optimum distribution of heavy loads and, thanks to its special geometry, is the ideal solution for customers who require stable and robust IBCs in their logistics and production centres. The packaging specialist’s flexible and robust all-rounder with an additional middle skid is optimised for a wide range of transport applications.

The 3-skid steel pallet developed by Schütz really plays out its strengths in warehouses with any kind of conveyor solution. With its smooth and large contact surfaces, the packaging solution has outstanding rolling properties and is particularly suitable for transport on conveyor systems. One of the main aims during the development process of the new product was to ensure smooth transport, especially at junctions. The new pallet offers equally impressive performance in high-bay warehouses. Even when transporting IBCs filled with high-density products, it displays only minimal sagging. The pallet can be accessed from all sides with trucks ensuring supremely convenient handling during loading. The lowered stringer height facilitates side entry with forklift trucks or hand pallet trucks. The pallet is nestable and can be stacked to reduce volume. Compared to wooden pallets, the 3-skid steel pallet offers maximum cleanliness, abrasion resistance and durability. As it can be reused multiple times, it is a much more favourable alternative in terms of the circular economy and it provides superior cost effectiveness and eco-friendliness.

The 3-skid steel pallet offers robustness and optimum conveying properties thanks to the special geometry which is designed to provide outstanding stability and strength. Its embossed steel skids with ribbed design ensure high resistance to deformation. An additional centre skid increases the contact surface by 900% compared to a conventional steel skid pallet. This significantly reduces the base pressure per square centimetre and the load is optimally distributed, meaning that even heavy transport loads and high-density goods can be moved safely and reliably.
