WHAT IS A PALLET…? Pallet is a flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, pallet jack, front loader, work saver or other jacking device. Goods or shipping containers are often placed on a pallet, secured with strapping, stretch wrap or shrink wrap and then shipped. A pallet is the structural foundation of a unit load which allows handling and storage efficiencies. While most pallets are wooden, pallets can also be made of plastic, metal, paper, and recycled materials. BENEFITS OF PALLETIZATION Use of pallets as a base for unit loads offers a number of benefits:Palletized products can be moved more quickly than by the manual handling of individual palletized cartons. This has the following benefits:Faster turnaround of delivery vehicle (TAT) thus increasing operational efficiency.It significantly reduces labour requirement & manual handling since it has the ability to load upto 1.2 tonne of goods. This helps in palletized movement of goods till the last leg of supply chain. It reduces the risk of product damage and worker injury, as palletized goods require less manual handling. Non-palletized loads would require different kinds of material handling equipment owing to varied sizes and shapes. Once palletized, all loads can be handled using with standard material handling equipment (MHE) such as forklifts etc., thereby eliminating the need of specialized equipment. ALL THE PALLETS HAVE BEEN TESTED POSITIVE BY INDIAN INSTITUTE OF PACKAGING (IIP) ON THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS. a. Pressure testb. Point load testc. Sand bag testd. Warpage teste. Wood density testf.

BENEFITS OF USING FLC Foldable Large Containers (FLCs) are collapsible plastic containers used to transport variety of cargoes. They are designed to reduce the cost of relocating empty containers while providing maximum product protection and load stability. LEAP offers FLCs particularly for automotive industry, where components are small in size and need to be delivered in bulk quantities directly to the production line in standard containers. FLC has the provision to incorporate customized inserts within the container to house the components as per the requirement of the OEM. Further, FLCs are of standard dimensions to meet regional requirements and are accepted by the majority of automotive manufacturers and suppliers. FLCs features include ergonomic latches & In the automobile industry, usage of FLCs helps in minimizing supply chain hassles as the auto components can directly be delivered to the assembly lines without having the need to pack and store them separately. Its modular design and HDPE (High-density polyethylene) content ensures easy handling, quick installation / dismantling and adequate cargo protection. Further, FLCs reduce transportation and inventory carrying costs by deploying a single customized container and ensuring Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery. FLC usage negates cost of disposable packaging such as one-way cardboard/wooden containers. When empty, FLCs can be folded and stacked, thus offering significant transportation & storage cost savings. A standard Foldable Large Container (FLC) is predominantly used in Auto components industry. LEAP FLC USAGE IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Movement of automotive ancillary products through LEAP FLCs is the most economical and efficient way to transport goods. Goods transported via FLCs are efficiently unloaded in OEMs’ production line. LEAP would be the most efficient player to cater to entire supply chain of automotive industry by offering Pooling solutions across India. Company intends to cater to each component of the value chain, ranging from OEMs, Tier 1 & 2 Suppliers and 3PL players.
