What We Do

Unitload has identified a major need in the nearly $50Bn global pallet logistics supply chain to provide a cost effective, hygienic alternative to the current industry dominant wooden pallets that absorb bacteria and fungi and are subject to pest infestation. Existing rack-able alternatives (plastic, composites) are much more expensive than wooden pallets.

Unitload steel pallets provide low cost, highly efficient, washable, non-pathogen absorbing pallets that meet the relevant standards and are cost effective with wooden pallets. Unitload pallets are up to 40% lighter and last up to 10 times longer by virtue of the strength of steel. Additionally, our super-polymer coated PolysteelTM pallets are used for more stringent hygiene requirements and are cheaper and stronger than rackable plastic pallets.

Unitload is currently establishing a manufacturing plant to produce superior, lighter weight, steel pallets. Additional investors are currently being sought.
