TRANSPORT OF PALLETS AND WOODEN BOXES

The transport of pallets and wooden boxes is in itself a category of load with specific features. Our partners (loaders and unloaders), both in Greece and in Cyprus, through their continuous training are able to manage the transport of these loads ensuring their perfect and safe transport. Our priority is the security of the transport needs of our customers, at every stage from the transshipment until the delivery of their loads.

If you have a large load, using a pallet is the safest way to ship. In order for the load to reach the desired destination safely, the palletizing must be done correctly.

First, you need to choose the right pallet size. There are several dimensions and you should choose pallets in good condition that can fit and support your load.

Then the pallet must be properly prepared for shipment. This is very important because if the parcels are not placed correctly on the pallet they can tip over and cause damage.

First, place cardboard and secure it with adhesive tape. Square packs are easier to fit on the pallet, if you have loads of indefinite shape it may be better to place them in a square package and secure it with the appropriate packaging materials, e.g. crushed styrofoam.

In general, prefer to place at the base the largest and heaviest packages. Smaller packages are best placed on top of the pallet. Make sure you place the packages close to each other without gaps.

Tie the packages to the pallet with the tape. Wrap it tightly around the load several times and in all directions. Slide it under the pallet to stabilize it. Finally, cover the entire construction with stretch film again in all directions and below the pallet.

In most cases the pallet will be heavy. This should not bother you. Cyprus Seaways has the necessary equipment and training to safely transport your pallet.
