we use the stiff plastic ones where i work and they are painful to deal with when they are bent into the pallet or folded up. ive been operating forks for 15+ years and have only recently learnt how to operate the slip sheet... it proving to be my least favored task at work.
@kathyr2872 , it depends on the freight. If it's easy to puncture, like dog food, for example, using this method still can be tricky. Still a great technique nonetheless. 👌🏼
I use one at work for loading bags of oats into containers for export... at that it can be a tight squeeze fitting them in without pallets. we have got one customer we load for that takes product on pallets and they loose a layer per pallet which works out to be 160 bags at 7.2T.
It's to save room. Company's would rather you stack without a pallet then with a pallet. It will also save from damaged goods because you don't have a wooden pallet moving on top of boxes
@@michaeldavidson6903 We had a guy who drove a lift off the loading dock, landed on all four wheels, amazingly. Drove around the terminal to get back in the building, and nobody saw him. Except for one truck driver who asked if he was alright. He almost got away with it.
