Loadhog Pally Wheels into South African e-Commerce Supply Chain

May 30, 2013 By Rick LeBlanc Leave a Comment

When one of South Africa’s largest online stores wanted a faster, safer, more efficient and economical way to handle new category products while complementing its current products and methods of picking and transporting products internally, the local office of the Corporate Renaissance Group Supply Chain Services (CRG SCS), a global provider, introduced the Loadhog Pally solution to its client.loadhog south africa

For Loadhog, the South Yorkshire-based transit packaging innovator, this represented its first major contract in South Africa. Its resounding success has resulted the delivery of a second project, with further applications subsequently identified throughout Africa.

That initial client, Kalahari, is the fastest growing, market leader in the country’s e-commerce sector for the widespread supply of books, films, games and electronics. With confidence CRG SCS recommended the Loadhog Pally.

The 800x600mm robust Pally, with a 250kg capacity, ‘fitted the bill’ and the first contract was signed. Hundreds of Pallys were supplied to store and transport a huge range of goods internally in Kalahari’s distribution centre in Cape Town. Following significant growth, a further quantity of Pallys is being rolled out to Cape Town, with a substantial quantity purchased for its second centre in Johannesburg.

Unlike any other pallet, one foot press on a pedal at either end of the 800x600mm robust, stackable Pally transforms it into a fully mobile, wheeled dolly, allowing instant mobility for efficient movement. A second pedal press returns the Pally to a pallet, lifting the wheels clear of the floor, transferring all the weight onto the pallet bearers to create a stable, secure unit for easy and fast product picking.

Annes Schreuder, head of operations at Kalahari, said: “The Pally is a great solution when we need flexible storage and movement options, especially in an environment with low levels of automation and high product variability.”

With further development plans in place for expansion in the next three years, it is an exciting time for Loadhog, Loadhog South Africa, CRG SCS and Kalahari.
