Optimise your load carrier flows with our open-pool exchange system for used standard load carriers
Our ‘PAKi principle’ gives you the opportunity to order and return precisely the pallets and boxes you need anywhere in Europe, and to make your load carrier logistics cost-effective while saving resources. You can order and return all commonly used standard load carriers and boxes.
Returned pallets are directly credited to our clients’ PAKi accounts. This credit is then available at all times anywhere in Europe. As soon as our clients tell us what they need, we deliver it to them in the requested quantity and quality at the location of their choosing. Clients can also choose to pick up their pallets themselves at one of our loading and unloading stations, or PAKi Spots – whatever is most practical for them.
Advantages of exchanging used pallets in an open pool
- Order and return standard load carriers across Europe – anywhere, anytime and in the desired quality
- The right quality level for every supply chain requirement. No pallet exchange problems
- Guaranteed availability in the PAKi Logistics network
- No capital commitment because the load carriers are reused and clients do not need to purchase any new pallets
- Sustainable, circular logistics concept: fewer empty runs reduces CO2 emissions
- Flexible system with lots of options, e.g. quality upgrades
- Less administrative work – more time for your core business
More security thanks to our proven exchange system
The proven open-pool exchange system with 600 million EPAL Euro pallets and 20 million EPAL box pallets in circulation speeds things up for everyone involved, increases efficiency and is environmentally friendly. No expensive empty runs or time-consuming reloading of goods required.
We help you to avoid unnecessary empty runs and make sure that the load carriers you need are waiting for you at the location and time of your choice and in the required quality.
Europe-wide exchange management
To guarantee the delivery of standard load carriers to our clients, we have created a vast European network of thousands of PAKi Spots. We have built the largest network of its kind with loading and unloading stations across Europe, which allows our clients to select the precise amount and quality they need. However, the network is not the only key to our success – at PAKi, our friendly, capable employees truly make us who we are.
Retailers can simply release the borrowed pallets back to PAKi Logistics as they become available. Forwarders can be on their way immediately without having to unload empty pallets. That saves time and fuel. Furthermore, you no longer need to get into any discussions about the quality of the delivered pallets compared to the ones being returned – a common point of contention between transport companies and retail.
Here’s how it works:
Exchange of used pallets with quality upgrade
Pallet quality has always been a topic of discussion in the industry – a certain quality level is absolutely essential for automated warehouses. Furthermore, transport companies can never be sure that they will receive pallets of the same quality that they delivered. PAKi is the answer. We guarantee the quality you need. We allow you to choose the quality level you require – from used and exchangeable to new, depending on your area of application. See our Quality System page for more information.
