Pallet hiring makes sense and that’s why most major retailers and manufacturers throughout the region have chosen Loscam to manage their pallet pool. By using Loscam pallets to deliver retailers, manufacturers and distributors are increasing their sales through faster turnaround times, preferential treatment at DC’s and saving money by reducing labour and product handling costs.

Our unique pooling system enables trading partners to share Loscam equipment through the supply chain enabling conversation of fixed costs to variable costs and promoting sustainability through sharing of pallets, intermediate bulk containers and produce bins. Our network of service depots are strategically located to ensure availability of our products when and where you need them.

Loscam is now firmly established as the market leader in providing pallets and other materials handling solutions. We work closely with our customers to develop and implement hire solutions that help to increase product handling efficiency, improve safety, reduce packaging and waste, increase supply during peak seasons and unlock value whenever a product ...
... is moved between trading partners.

In a fully developed pallet pool pallets are used to transfer goods right throughout the supply chain with minimal manual handling of products. Standard pallets are used right through from factory to retail store and in some cases used as part of in-store product storage and display. As the product flows through the supply chain pallets are transferred from one participants account to the next in a truly user pays arrangement. Responsibility for ensuring pallets are in optimum condition lies with Loscam with clients using our HMS system to record the movement of pallets.

Benefits of pallet pooling include;

1.No capital investment required as pallets are used on a daily basis as required

2.All repairs handled by Loscam ensuring high quality pallets are available every time

3.Just complete Loscam transfer dockets when shipping pallets and we take care of the rest

4.Loscam systems handle automatic account reconciliation and enable ad hoc reporting as required

5.Loscam can supply additional pallets quickly to meet urgent needs, promotions and peak season demand

6.Our shared pallet pool is better for the environment as overall pallet numbers are minimised and Loscam recycles pallet components

For those companies that require pallets for internal use only (static hire) Loscam is also able to take care of your needs. The Loscam BUYBACK service also enables those companies who have invested in their own pallets to sell these to Loscam, where upgrades and repairs are undertaken and then the pools are rented back to the client, converting a fixed cost into a more manageable variable cost. The BUYBACK service provides cash flow benefits to clients, lightens the balance sheet of non-core assets, reduces associated head counts and gives greater flexibility during periods of peak demand.
