As part of an ongoing review of operations, Ragus looked at replacing and upgrading their existing stock of plastic pallets which were used to carry 1000kg bulk bags of raw cane sugar cane sugar: see sucrose. . Working closely with a national network of distribution partners, Ragus supplies independent bakers with competitively priced products but over a period of time these pallets had deteriorated to a point that raised questions of possible product contamination and safety issues. Following a recommendation from a customer, Peter Eastick of Ragus contacted Craemer UK and invited them to present their proposals. Ragus's experience with the plastic pallets had not always been positive, as these were suspect to peripheral and structural damage often resulting from the forklift openings being quite small.

Due to the strength of its one piece injection moulded structure and featuring five runners, the CR3-5 plastic pallet (1200 x 1000mm) provides high stability and a load bearing capability of 1000kg in a racking system. This also eliminates any possible contamination issues associated with plastic pallets assembled and welded from individual parts. Peter Eastick Managing Director of Ragus said, "We took time in selecting the right pallet for our purpose and Craemer was very responsive. They demonstrated a clear understanding of our requirements and supported their technical proposal by forwarding a sample pallet, which went into the system for a trial period. "The Craemer CR3-5 plastic pallets were considerably more durable, less prone to damage and therefore cost effective as they provide for a longer period of life. Craemer UK were very professional in their presentation and we could not have asked for better service." [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Contact Craemer UK on tel 01952 607800 or visit www.craemer.com |
