Local pallet inverters a practical solution in cold stores.

MEDITERRANEAN Shipping Company (MSC) recently inaugurated its expansive 15,000 sqm cold storage facility in Durban. Among key installations crucial to the facility’s operations, Stab-A-Load emerged as the preferred supplier for the provision and installation of a pallet inverter. This cutting-edge facility is meticulously designed to accommodate a substantial quantity of pallets, ranging between 8,000 and 10,000, laden with chilled and frozen cargo. Notably, special attention is dedicated to fresh produce items, which often arrive on wooden pallets and necessitate transition onto plastic pallets in adherence to regulations stipulated by the Perishable Produce Export Control Board.

The pallet inverter supplied by Stab-A-Load facilitates a seamless transfer process. Pallets laden with goods are loaded onto the inverter with the aid of a forklift. They are securely clamped to stabilise the cargo before a smooth 180° rotation is executed. This manoeuvre enables the swift exchange of pallets, ensuring efficient handling of perishable goods. Moreover, safety measures are paramount, with the pallet inverter incorporating a 2-meterhigh machine guarding enclosure and safety light beams to uphold secure working practices for all operations. Significantly, these pallet inverters play a pivotal role in cost reduction strategies by mitigating rental expenses associated with pallets.

By enabling users to interchange pallets with ease, whether loaded with a forklift or pallet trolleys, Stab-A-Load’s pallet inverters offer a practical solution to optimise operational efficiency and minimise expenditure.

Stab-A-Load takes pride in manufacturing these state-of-the-art pallet inverters locally, underscoring the company’s commitment to quality and reliability. Moreover, the company extends ongoing preplanned maintenance programs to end-users, ensuring optimal performance and swift turnaround times for any required service or replacement parts.

This comprehensive support further enhances the value proposition of Stab-a-Load’s pallet inverters, cementing its position as a trusted partner in the cold storage industry.
