Safe and sound: protect your goods with Loadhog
25th March 2024
Loadhog’s reusable packaging solutions protect your goods from the risk of damage or theft.
As products pass through supply chains, they can suffer damage if their packaging is not robust – through rough handling or damp conditions – or theft if it is not secure. These product losses are expensive, but this cost can be minimised by using long-life packaging solutions from Loadhog. The company’s attached lid Totes (ALCs), for example, replace cardboard boxes to provide a versatile solution across production, distribution and retail. Nestable and stackable, Loadhog’s ALCs are designed for ergonomic and space-efficient handling. All models can be fitted with security seals and are compatible with banding machines. The Apollo and Artemis ranges feature a concealed hinge pin, making them tamper-proof. Using ALCs in your supply chain eliminates the cost of single-use packaging and secures labour savings. For example, retailer Pets At Home invested in Loadhog ALCs and has achieved time savings worth around £450,000 per year.
Loadhog’s largest ALC is the HogBox, a half pallet Tote with integrated pallet feet for handling directly by forklifts. Nestable and stackable, the 190-litre HogBox features steel rods and reinforced handle clips to provide additional security, as well as multiple sealing locations.
Eco-friendly pallet lid replaces stretch wrap
All Loadhog ALCs can be secured with the innovative Loadhog pallet lid. Available in UK, Euro, half Euro and US pallet sizes, the pallet lid is a sustainable and cost-effective method of securing your load. No banding or stretch wrapping is required – simply pull down the retractable straps and ratchet them tight. The straps are slash-resistant and can be secured with seals for tamper-proofing.
With Loadhog’s pallet lid, Penguin Random House reduced its use of stretch wrap by over 47% in the first year. Thepallet lid also saves time – taking just 20 seconds to fit, compared to 180 seconds to stretch wrap a pallet. And, with the ability to double stack loads, the pallet lid ensures increased vehicle fill for further savings.
