Hybrid wood/corrugat-ed pallet: Startup pallet maker
NextPallet has developed a
new hybrid wood/corrugat-ed pallet that supports 2,400
pounds. Weighing 26. 5 pounds,
the heavyweight version of the NextPallet hauls and racks
like much heavier wood pallets. (To support that claim, the
company notes that test results from Gaynes Labs are available at http://www.pipallet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/
GaynesTesting-6-4-18.pdf.)
The basic structure is a wood skeleton with recycled corrugated material wrapped around it. The materials are bonded with
an industrial adhesive, a hot-melt glue. The unit is both reusable
and recyclable, the manufacturer says.
The company also offers lightweight and standard versions of
the pallet. (NextPallet, www.nextpallet.com)

International container tracking: Project 44 has
announced the addition of “ocean visibility” to its Advanced
Visibility Platform. The new feature enables shippers, beneficial
cargo owners, freight forwarders, and third-party logistics service
providers to track North America-bound container shipments as
they arrive in port for shipment, travel across the ocean, and
are discharged from vessels for transfer to rail or trucks. Users
have access to real-time container-level tracking from departure
through arrival.
According to the company, the ocean visibility feature is a
comprehensive solution for international shipments that enables
next-level operational efficiency and an improved customer
experience. Ocean visibility includes direct connections to over 75
ports and terminals; live vessel tracking to all containerized ships
around the globe; shipment details, including location, ETA, and
container status; and direct API (application programming interface) integrations to ocean carriers. (project44, project44.com)
