New T-PAK™ 4456 Pallet from LINPAC Materials Handling Ideal for Food and Beverage Packaging Handling
GEORGETOWN, KY (July 7, 2004) - LINPAC Materials Handling, manufacturer of high-quality ROPAK(TM) reusable container systems, introduces the new T-PAK(TM) 4456 pallet. The 4456 pallet's rugged, one-piece design was created specifically to serve as a platform for the transport of metal, plastic, and composite beverage and food cans from manufacturer to filler. It has been approved by the FDA as meeting sanitary requirements for packaging handling in food and beverage applications.
Constructed of high-density polyethylene, the 4456 pallet easily withstands the abuse of multiple return trips. It features a 44" x 56" footprint and a 4.375" height with four-way fork entry. The 4456 pallet's static load capacity is 30,000 lb (13,607 kg), while its dynamic load capacity is 4000 lb (1814 kg). Its design incorporates Smart Deck Technology(TM) to create a flat, smooth surface.
"The top deck of any pallet used in the food and beverage markets must be designed to remain as flat and smooth as possible throughout transport and handling," explains J.P. Chipps, Food and Beverage Unit Manager for LINPAC Materials Handling. "Smart Deck Technology enables the pallet surface to resist deflection and warping."
The 4456 pallet also features a hygienic, flow-through deck design, exclusive to LINPAC Materials Handling. Surface openings in the top deck are perfectly aligned to the underside openings. This allows both contaminants and wash water to easily fall through the openings, rather than collect on surfaces, for a bacteria-free, fast-drying pallet. Because water has no place to pool in the 4456 pallet, it eliminates the need for air dryers on the wash line.
"The new design of this pallet offers tremendous value to our customers," says Chipps. "The 4456 pallet has more features in comparison to other returnable pallets in the same market space, however, it is priced below its strongest competitors."
The 4456 pallet's additional features include its RFID-ready capacity and 14 separate areas for labeling. Molded-in company logos or hot-stamped identification numbers are also available as options. As with all LINPAC Materials Handling products, its workmanship and materials are guaranteed with a three-year warranty. The 4456 pallet may also be recycled at the end of its useful life. LINPAC Materials Handling also offers a variety of logistics solutions to help customers better manage their handling and transportation needs.
