Neoprene pallet covers have been designed to fit an Australian standard size pallet of 1165 x 1165mm, however, due to the simplistic design they can also be created with ease to fit an ever-increasing array of differing pallet sizes entering the Australian market from Europe and Asia. The covers can be used on pallets at full capacity or be adjusted to a smaller packed pallet without affecting the stability of transit goods. This decreases breakages during transhipment and assists with the prevention of employee injuries resulting from the use of unstable pallets wrapped with plastic which are not as secure to use as the covers. The padded jackets have the added advantage of being used as an insulation for the company’s 1000 litre fermentation kombucha containers, which reduces energy consumption for product brewing.
