In a warehouse, the deckboard side faces the corridor. For optimal cubage in a warehouse, the deckboard dimension should be the shorter. This also helps the deckboards be more rigid. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb60668870e6839206735d2/1605764719927/Skid3.png Our Pallets - Skid A pallet having no bottom deck. Sometimes referred to as a platform. Not designed for stacking and may cause product damage if stacked. Generally the least expensive of pallets and may be considered expendable. Single Wing Skid: No bottom deck and deckboards extend past the runners, or stringers. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb60bf1c8ecbc7e1cc2da83/1605766144177/euro+pallet.jpg Our Pallets - Euro Pallet Also known as block pallet or post pallet. This is a four-way entry pallet and is stronger than a stringer pallet. Normally a European standard, but it is being used more frequently in the United States, especially with companies exporting to Europe. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb60a2ec8ecbc7e1cc2b510/1605765693558/2-way-pallet-500x500.jpg Our Pallets - Single Face Pallet Decking material on top of pallet for product support with minimal structural support boards on the bottom. This is pretty much the industry standard. Double faced pallets are the exception and are rarely used except for some warehouse applications where complete deck coverage on top and bottom might beneficial. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb60b0411ee036386c7c4de/1605765894530/double+wing.jpg Our Pallets - Double Wing Pallet Deckboards extend past the stringers on sides, front and back, on both the top and bottom. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb955825ec8a10597574279/1605981687529/Pallet+Kiln.jpg Our Pallets - Heat Treated Pallets East Industries offers heat treatment of pallets in accordance with the International Plant Protection Convention’s (IPPC) ISPM-15 phytosanitary guidelines. Wood in treated pallets meets debarked standards and has been heated to achieve a minimum core temperature of 56°C (132.8°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes. East Industries’ pallets subjected to heat treatment will display the IPPC certification seal, often referred to as the “wheat stamp,” and will bear the initials HT as a part of our ID number, indicating full compliance with heat treatment guidelines. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb60a14b3db4d4323ae74c5/1605765661555/double+face.jpg Our Pallets - Double Face Pallet Double-face pallets have decks on both top and bottom of the pallet. This increases the strength of the pallet and helps distribute weight more evenly through the pallet. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb605be870e68392067281a/1605764548410/4+way+pallet.jpg Our Pallets - Four Way Pallet Generally used for heavier loads. Forks go under stringers instead of deckboards. (Compare to piers (forks) that support floor joists (stringers), which in turn support the floor structure (deckboards) in a house https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb60c4a3955d5421c90f07a/1605766224775/solid+deck+pallet.gif Our Pallets - Solid Deck Pallet May be block or stringer design and utilizes a single piece of decking material as opposed to multiple deckboards. Ideal for smaller products that might fall through openings between standard deckboards. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb60b9d8dd3b32683ad0531/1605766114391/single+wing.jpg Our Pallets - Single Wing Pallet Deckboards extend past the stringers on the sides, front and back. Extension of wings allows for stringers to be positioned closer to each other and increases overall strength of pallet. https://www.eastindustries.com/how-we-work daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb5ee47870e683920644d77/1605758549807/report-icon-2.png How We Work - Reporting (Final Step) We can provide electronic billing as well as payments and also provide monthly, quarterly and annual accountability spreadsheets emailed to your designated key people responsible for monitoring your company’s pallet program. This includes expendable pallets, company asset pallets, CHEP or iGPS return pallets as well as recycled waste stream pallet poundage to meet your company’s Green goals. The ability to provide this information electronically to you reduces your in-house administrative costs and provides data to make decisions for further cost reductions in your pallet program as well as reducing waste wood haul offs by your waste vendor. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb5e95b4f0a953325f5ed95/1605757289490/Wooden-pallets-in-a-factory-ya-45703153.jpg How We Work - Collection of Pallets (Step 1) In closed-loop operations, pallets you send out eventually come back to you, and may become damaged after many round trips. In addition, pallets entering your facility loaded with inbound raw materials or in-process goods are often damaged, and may get mixed with your standard pallets even though they don’t meet your specs. Our reverse logistics program allows you to load ALL your used pallets into an on-site trailer that we furnish. Having your own employees handle, sort, and repair pallets is most likely not the best use of their time, pulling them from more profitable tasks. Our well-trained employees, using specialized woodworking equipment can process your pallets far more efficiently. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb5eae1d461ad6fd158d4fa/1605757678645/G2_outdoor_pallet_storage_fs-800x500.jpg How We Work - Sales and Service East Industries manufactures and sells a wide variety of pallets. Whether stringer or block style; standard or custom design; new, recycled or remanufactured condition – our sales and customer service staff can meet your specs while providing competitive pricing, a guarantee of quality and reliability, and the convenience of electronic invoicing/payments. All pallet designs are available for volume sale. We also encourage clients to consider the many benefits of our Pallet Management Program. This is a very efficient, worry-free method of making sure you always have ready-to-use pallets at your backdoor. Reduce your costs and labor expense, eliminate the time required for tracking your pallets, avoid disposal fees for heavily damaged pallets, and maintain full control of your pallet supply https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb5e523a6ad71483811e8d1/1605756215108/22195561_2208710016022388_8146536260879214317_n.jpg How We Work - Pick up of Pallets (Step 2) East Industries picks up your pallets on a regular schedule, delivering purchased or reworked pallets back to you, or dropping an empty trailer to be loaded for the next pick up. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb5e727cab3781681ea6c4b/1605756717947/PERC_propane+forklift_indoor.jpg How We Work - Pallet Management Program (PMP) Companies utilizing pallets to distribute goods are already well aware of the many logistical complications they face: keeping sufficient inventory, but not an oversupply of properly sized pallets; repairing or disposing of damaged pallets; attempting to use or dispose of inbound pallets from suppliers of raw materials; tracking all pallets, and a host of other problems encountered almost daily. While some companies attempt to manage their pallets internally, many have turned to pallet management specialists. East Industries has been supplying pallet management services to its clients for over 40 years. Our team of professionals has developed efficient programs to help companies meet their pallet requirements at the lowest possible cost. Pallets are a critical component of shipping operations. Handled wisely, they cause no problems and are a small percentage of cost of goods. Handled poorly, and they become an endless source of frustration. The specialists at East Industries have studied all phases of pallet management and can customize a program to please even the most demanding shipping requirements. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb5eb08493ec905fa2ec5d6/1605757720056/pallet-repair-3.jpg How We Work - Sorting of Pallets (Step 3) Pallets meeting all inspection requirements are shipped back out or go into our 100,000 square foot warehouse inventory. This prevents exposure to harsh weather, animals, or other contaminants. None of our pallets are stored outdoors. Pallets with minor damage are reworked to go into our finished goods warehouse inventory awaiting shipment to customers. Heavily damaged pallets are disassembled and good component parts are reclaimed and used to assemble or repair more pallets. 100% of the parts deemed unusable are stripped from our pallets and transported to a grinding operation for recycling, where much of it becomes landscaping mulch. North Carolina environmental laws now prohibit the disposal of pallets in landfills. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb5eb3578a03a02a6e1c884/1605757762114/DSC_0980.jpeg How We Work - Delivery (Step 4) Based on scheduling or varying need, East Industries delivers a processed load of ready-to-use pallets to your facility. At every stage, computer-generated spreadsheets keep you completely informed about your pallet supply. Monthly reports recap all activity and electronic billing is available for your convenience. Pallets are inspected during the initial sorting process, after repairs, and a final inspection is done just prior to shipment to your facility. All pallets are guaranteed to meet customer’s satisfaction as to specifications and requirements. East Industries operates a fleet of over 100 over-the-road trailers, and all tractors are satellite-tracked for on time logistics monitoring. https://www.eastindustries.com/sustainability daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb582b79186fe5b98dd2534/1605755247201/piled-up-pallets-628596406-55be4b4d51464ae3ae1c35d66e3cb100.jpg Sustainability - Longevity We continue to replace parts and repair pallets so that we get the longest possible life out of each component. That is, we continue to recycle pallets, replacing damaged parts along the way, until there is nothing left of the original pallet, extending its life cycle and eliminating waste. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb584d9df42b543fc066219/1605755259464/mulch.jpg Sustainability - Upcycling Once a component is cracked, badly stained, or otherwise damaged beyond repair, it goes to a grinding operation where it is reduced to decorative landscaping mulch, animal bedding, or child-safe, shock-absorbing ground cover for children’s play areas. Other uses for these recycled, ground up boards include fuel pellets, insulation, pressed logs, home building materials and many other environmentally friendly products. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb2e13a07943019e6a816bf/t/5fb587174646cc1b80c6827f/1605755271160/sustainability-report.jpg Sustainability - The Green Report Since 1975, East Industries has supplied each of its clients with “The Green Report,” an annual summary indicating the number of pounds of wood recycled from their returned pallets. These numbers are often quoted in Annual Reports and other corporate literature as clear evidence of a company’s positive efforts in recycling and preserving our environment. https://www.eastindustries.com/team daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://www.eastindustries.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://www.eastindustries.com/order daily 0.75 2020-11-19
