Riser Decks

Pallets have been arguably an integral part of the supply chain. They are everywhere: There are said to be billions circulating through global supply chain (2 billion in the United States alone). Some 80 percent of all U.S. commerce is carried on pallets. According to one estimate, so widespread is their use that they account for more than 46 percent of total U.S. hardwood lumber production.

Of course, to be effectively used in containers, pallets would have to become thinner so you can maximize the cubic feet. To that end, many companies now ship their products on slip sheets, cardboard feet or plastic feet: filling the container’s volume with as much product as possible. This requires changes down the line in the way companies handle and store products. That is where Riser Decks come in.
