Export-grade pallet: Pallet
supplier Litco International Inc. has
introduced the Exporter, an engineered molded wood pallet unit-load solution for one-way and
export shipping.
During the manufacturing process, the pallets are heated to
more than 350 degrees Fahrenheit to eradicate insect pests and
contaminants. Because the Exporter is considered “processed
wood”—meaning it’s approved for export as-is per IPPC-ISPM
15 (International Planet Protection Convention, International
Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15)—shippers avoid
additional costs to heat-treat wood pallets and the need for a
license stamp to demonstrate compliance.
According to the company, the Exporter contains 86 percent
less moisture than new traditional hardwood pallets and has a
higher resistance to mold, moisture-sensing insects, and bacteria
in high-humidity, low-air-flow environments such as overseas
shipping containers and tropical destinations.
Litco’s Exporter pallets are available in 10 sizes and up to five
different weight-bearing options. (Litco International Inc., www.

Refrigerated container monitoring: Orbcomm Inc., a
provider of machine-to-machine and Internet of Things solutions,
and control of refrigerated containers traveling by land, rail, or
sea for uninterrupted visibility of operations, improved efficiency,
and reduced costs. Orbcomm’s CT 3000 series provides wireless
connectivity through its ruggedized hardware and a cloud-based
analytics platform and information management engine for asset
management and utilization.
Orbcomm’s CT 3000 series solution supports built-in and
external sensors, cellular connectivity, and wireless technologies
to deliver data on asset location, status, performance, cargo-area
temperature, and more. The new series comes in two variants:
the CT 3100 and the CT 3000. The CT 3100 can be temporarily
installed to monitor assets for a specific duration while on a trip,
aboard a vessel, or at a terminal, while the CT 3000 is permanently installed on an asset for continuous tracking.
This next-generation container monitoring solution connects
directly to the reefer to enable real-time alerts and two-way
control, allowing operators to react to discrepancies and remotely adjust temperature and humidity levels to ensure temperature
compliance and minimize spoilage. In addition, Orbcomm’s
refrigerated container solution automates pre-trip inspections
to facilitate quicker turn times, lower operational expenses,
and reduce safety risks to personnel. (Orbcomm Inc., www.
