In today’s fast-paced logistics environment, where efficiency and reliability are key, even minor inefficiencies can escalate into significant operational costs. Many companies accept issues like broken pallets, downtime during automation jams, or lost assets as part of doing business, but they don’t have to.
RM2 offers a smarter, more sustainable solution to this problem: the BLOCKPal™ pallet. Built to last and designed with today’s supply chain in mind, BLOCKPal™ provides a fresh perspective on long-term cost control.
Built to Last: The Hidden Costs of Disposable Pallets
Traditional wooden pallets may appear inexpensive at first, but over time, the costs of replacements accumulate, along with losses from damaged products, employee injuries, and operational disruptions.
RM2’s BLOCKPal™ pallet is made from a durable composite material that lasts far longer than wood, up to 100+ trips per pallet. By comparison, a wooden pallet might break down after just 10 to 15 uses.
Fewer pallet failures mean:
– Less product damage
– Reduced replacement spending
– Smoother shipping and storage
– Safer handling environments
It’s the kind of silent efficiency that shows up in your bottom line, even if it’s not always easy to track on paper.
Ready for Automation: No More Jammed Systems
Automation is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity for scalable, modern logistics. Wooden pallets, with their uneven surfaces, splinters, and varying dimensions, are one of the most common causes of conveyor and robotic system malfunctions.
BLOCKPal™ pallets are built with precise dimensions, high structural integrity, and a non-porous surface that slides seamlessly through automated systems. That means fewer interruptions and less downtime, especially in facilities that depend on robotics or high-speed operations.
Real Results from Real Operations
When RM2 commissioned an independent analysis to compare BLOCKPal™ to traditional pallets, the findings were striking. For every 100,000 shipping cycles, only 900 BLOCKPal™ pallets were needed, compared to 4,400 wooden pallets.
In one customer case study, switching to RM2 saw a 20% reduction in cost per trip. That kind of savings isn’t just about pallet longevity, it reflects reduced product damage, fewer handling issues, less downtime, and more efficient pallet returns.
Sustainable Operations = Cost-Efficient Operations
The cost of doing business sustainably is often seen as a tradeoff, but it doesn’t have to be. BLOCKPal™ pallets are reusable, easily sanitized, and made to support circular logistics systems. This reduces waste, minimizes environmental impact, and helps companies meet growing ESG goals, while also lowering costs over time.
The Bottom Line
RM2’s BLOCKPal™ isn’t a minor upgrade, it’s a shift in how companies manage one of the most overlooked tools in their supply chain. It’s stronger than wood, smarter than standard, and is designed to work with the systems you already have in place.
If your goal is to reduce total operational costs without compromising efficiency, safety, or sustainability, RM2 offers more than a better pallet. Contact Mark Gordon to learn more about incorporating BLOCKPal™ into your supply chain.
