Pallets allow a company to us air space in addition to floor space, reducing warehousing costs. Pallets reduce handling time with a savings in man hours and a decrease in overtime wages. Damage to goods may be totally eliminated with the installation of a palletization program. Savings from palletization average from 40 to 45 percent, with a range between 30 percent and as high as 80 percent. Mechanical material handling helps to cut down on personnel accidents often found with manual handling and lifting. Pilferage is reduced when individual items are strapped or wrapped to pallets in unitized bonded loads.
