Improving Pallet Stability

The longer a trip is, the more containment force that will be required to keep a load intact.

The more expensive a load is, the more protection - or load containment - it should have.

Liquids shift more readily than solids during transport, and require more load containment.

Accepted values between 0.5 to 3 meters. An increased length without increased weight means less dense and more stable loads.

Accepted values between 0.5 to 3 meters. An increased width without increased weight means less dense and more stable loads.

Accepted values between 0.5 to 3 meters. Increased height means less stable loads requiring more containment force.

1: Flexible 2: Average 3: Rigid. A flexible product will shift and then return to it's original position after impact.

1: Very unstable, 3: Stable, and 5: Very stable. The less stable a load is, the more containment force is required to prevent failure.

This is the minimum recommended pallet containment force. A lower force than this means that the pallet is instable and is potentially at risk of collapse. A higher force than this is good, but may indicate an over usage of film.
