Pallet Exchangers for Retail Distribution
Retail distribution centres and grocery warehouses must handle high volumes of pallet transfers while maintaining hygiene and meeting pooling requirements. Pallet exchangers make it possible to repalletize quickly and safely without slowing the supply chain.
Why pallet exchange matters in retail
Hygiene and efficiency are vital for retailers. Pallet changers transfer products from supplier pallets onto clean, standardised pallets approved for in-store or DC handling. This reduces risks from wood debris, broken boards and contamination while ensuring compliance with pooling agreements such as CHEP or LPR.
Best-fit solutions
Stationary pallet exchangers work best at high-volume intake points, integrating with conveyors to handle supplier loads. Mobile units provide flexibility to handle exceptions such as damaged pallets or special returns, ensuring no disruption to outbound schedules.
Use cases
Retailers use pallet exchangers to swap produce, drinks and packaged goods onto hygienic pallets before storage. They also use them to rebuild pallets for store display, ensuring products are delivered on clean, sturdy bases.
