Lock-a-Load: Wrap-to-pallet system helps concrete products company secure loads

摘要

Packaging concrete is not a simple job. The stuff is heavy and hard on equipment. And when customers make demands on how a product should be delivered, transport packaging choices can be limited, at best. Basalite Concrete Products LLC (Dixon, Calif., www.basalite.com) needed a better way to wrap loads to pallets. Its home center customers wanted the load delivered that way. With loads beginning at 3,500 pounds and up, the lift tables required to raise the load as the film is attached were expensive and required constant maintenance.
