ANALYSE, TEST AND OPTIMISE YOUR PALLET LOADS

On the way to their destination, pallet loads are subjected to a multitude of different stresses. Choosing the right transport packaging is therefore crucial, and not just when hazardous goods are being transported. The consequences of an accident range from damaged goods to endangerment or personal injury. As the party responsible for placing the palletised goods on the market, you are liable for its transport safety – this can have far reaching legal consequences. To help you choose the right packaging for your transport route, we test your loads for transport security in our TechCenter. The various tests cover more than basic safety requirements and enable targeted improvements of the packaging in terms of security, costs and sustainability. If the results of TechCenter testing show that the current transport security system is adequate, further tests can be conducted to minimise the amount of packaging material to meet your specific needs. A combination of packaging methods is a possible outcome. To improve sustainability, you can optionally use our CO₂ product calculator to precisely determine the emissions generated by the packaging and associated material. This provides tailored recommendations to help you effectively reduce transport emissions.

In the following video, we clearly illustrate what dangers and strain your cargo can be exposed to before it reaches its destination. On various test stations we demonstrate a technical roadside inspection that shows the behavior of pallet loads in different stress scenarios to give you an impression how your load might be affected. Once the test benches have been completed, we provide you with a test certificate that records the results of the tests in writing.

The Mosca TechCenter is equipped with four test stations for dynamic load unit inspection in order to analyse a wide variety of stresses to determine how they impact on transport security. These include a tilt testing tool, a horizontal stability tester to measure horizontal acceleration and deceleration, an impact tester for impact or crushing forces and a vertical vibration system. There is also a camera-supported evaluation unit that records and analyses deformations during stability testing. A data logger is used in the TechCenter to record and compile the required data on shocks, vibrations and acceleration during transport. A key advantage of this data logger is that we can accompany your real transport route and find out which specific stresses your product needs to withstand during transportation. We can then help you to adapt your palletised goods to achieve optimum performance.

With these tools, we are well equipped to provide you with exactly the tests that are crucial for your own transport route. After all, how well your own transport packaging is suited to an incident or accident only becomes clear when the worst case occurs. Therefore, take the opportunity to have your load units put through their paces in our new Mosca TechCenter. Just send us your request for testing through our contact form or email techcenter@mosca.com to schedule an appointment with our TechCenter team. We look forward to advising you on your optimal transport packaging!
