New Bulk Container Design Shares Footprint With Most Common Pallet For Easy Conversion To Unitized, Palletless Shipping

Ashtabula, OH - A new Ship Shape bulk container design by material handling product manufacturer Meese Orbitron Dunne Co., Ashtabula, Ohio, features a 48" x 40" footprint that matches the footprint of the wooden pallet most commonly used among United States manufacturers, shippers and transportation companies. The new container design enables material handling, packaging, shipping and other professionals to eliminate pallets altogether and unitize their loads within a single, durable container. By sharing the footprint of the standard pallet, the new container design often accommodates the same payload volume as the pallet and fits seamlessly within existing warehouse and transportation systems to promote a smooth transition throughout the supply chain.

To be rotationally molded of 100% polyethylene, the all-plastic, reusable bulk forklift container design eliminates the costly need to manage, repair and replace wooden or plastic pallets, eliminates the potential for phytosanitation contamination and supports environmental efforts to safeguard forest resources and minimize the landfilling of failed pallets. The new container design is also weatherproof and impervious to chemical attack, rust and corrosion. The new design provides lift truck access from two sides, stacks and nests and is to be available in a choice of colors.
