Loscam approved for chilled and frozen operations

Woolworths subsidiary Progressive Enterprises has approved acceptance of Loscam pallets for its chilled and frozen business. This follows Progressive’s acceptance in 2011 of the Loscam pallet through its ambient distribution centres and as its preferred platform for imported goods.

Loscam says its pallet continues to make inroads into the New Zealand pallet rental market as it is suitable for use in the fast-moving supply chain where 4-way access is critical. The Loscam pallet has also proved to be a safer platform during loading and unloading as the pallet is configured to not tip when being handled by forklifts.

“We spent a lot of time talking with customers before we introduced our pallet into the New Zealand market. They told us they wanted a safer, faster-to-operate pallet. When we combine the benefits of the pallet with our world-class customer service and management systems, we have a truly unbeatable service offering in New Zealand, and the industry is voting by bringing their business our way,” said Nick Trask, Loscam’s New Zealand Business Manager.

“As our pallet is more stable when being handled, this has enabled our customers to safely load vehicles using the 1 m face providing improvements in truck utilisation by up to 20%. Now we can extend these benefits to those companies operating in the chilled and frozen space.”
