THE ‘SAND PALLET’ ANOTHER FAIL.

By sand I mean in composition not a load carrying purpose. 

DYOR on PVAXX (multiple entities).

A very nice try.  Limitless raw material.  A grand vision.   An IPO was the goal, a logical path.  It did not happen.  I could sense an end coming.  Others could not.  More than a few got their fingers burned.  Apparently the pallet did exist.  There are pictures, there were displays.  So who knows why it ended?   Maybe another shot at the goal will happen if the process is valid. 

But steel will beat it in my opinion.

Buckingham Pallet – another failure

Yes another valiant attempt called the Buckingham pallet (Australia not USA).  You will have a hard time finding information about it today.  It used a mix of hardwood and steel with the wood boards slotted in with no nails and so replaceable.  Though innovative it was heavy and costly and not in touch with the real pallet world and its’ many complexities where cost then durability are two key fundamental factors.  One steel company (all changed now) got its hopes up in ignorance and fingers burned.

The other challenge is pooling operators who were or  are locked in to forward supply and service contracts.

Another fail.

SPS WAS THERE, GOOD MEMORIES

A TOAST TO THE DINNER GUESTS.

CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, CHEP AND SPS (can you see an elbow)

ALL GOOD, PLEASANT AND HARMONIOUS COMPANY.

What????

How did it get there?

steelpalletsystems vs steel pallet systems

Now the website is closed if you try either of the above on google search you will have trouble finding us.  If you try IMAGES for the latter you will find a Chinese site selling mostly pallet racking.  They just did not get the true meaning in the English language when they said what they were going to do, whether approved or not.

But if you look up steelpalletsystems (NO GAPS) under images you will find a wealth of images and information.

For the best live communications you have this current site.   https://steelpalletsystems.wordpress.com/

This means the future is OPEN, wide open.
