It would be understandable if you were to make the assumption that all wooden pallets are the same, after all, they are a pallet made of wood, so what makes LPR’s pallet’s industry leading?
LPR – La Palette Rouge, is Europe’s leading FMCG specialist pallet pooling business operating across Europe. It is renowned for the quality of its pallets and for its customer service. What makes LPR wooden pallets the best in the market?
LPR’s industry leading pallet quality
Made of PEFC certified wood, durable, consistent in both quality and dimensions, and a bespoke nailing system which works to keep the pallet blocks secure, LPR is constantly working to improve its wooden pallets. As a pallet supplier, it is also working to utilise the latest technological developments. Better pallet traceability improves quality. This technology is now part its operation. This benefits LPR’s customers and their customers, hauliers and partners.
Additionally, LPR pallets are subjected to rigorous inspection and repair specifications and wood used for repairs is only used from PEFC sustainable sources.
Finally, LPR uses a nail designed to add structural rigidity and strength to its pallets, in a prescribed nail pattern, which has been found to add significantly to the safety of loaded pallets – particularly those in high bay racking.
This level of attention to detail means LPR pallets are not only industry leading, but they are also the best for automation.
LPR focuses on FMCG sector
By operating only in the FMCG sector, LPR is able to ensure that its pallets – recognisable by their brilliant red colour – are free from the contamination often seen on pallets, including oil, paint and other industrial products.
These five pallet types allow LPR to service the requirements of the FMCG sector. These pallets have been carefully selected to ensure acceptance by all of the major retailers across Europe. Specific sectors include:
- Food
- Beverage
- Fresh produce
- Hygiene
A pallet for every use
LPR offers its pallets in five configurations:
- 800 x 1200 mm wooden pallets
- 1000 x 1200 mm wooden pallets
- 600 x 1000 mm wooden pallets
- 600 x 800 mm half pallets
- 400 x 600 mm display pallets
LPR – agile and responsive to market changes
One of the biggest challenges of 2020 was as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic changed the way that we think about safety and compliance in the sector, so It was heartening and reassuring to see the research carried out by the respected Institut für Holztechnologie Dresden (IHD) which identified that wooden pallets offered over 13 times higher levels of antibacterial activity than plastic pallets.
All of LPR’s pallets offer a high level of protection against pests and contamination. Pallets are tested to ensure that they meet the ISO8600 1-2-3 Standard throughout their lifecycle.
LPR offers the best in customer service
