• Product safely fixed to the pallet (stretch wrapping is acceptable but must be applied to the pallet loads in a secure manner around the pallet base) • Plastic banding may be used to secure awkward, irregular or upright loads • Double-stacking of pallets is only permitted if the load remains secure, products are suitable for double stacking, each pallet is stretch wrapped separately and the stack is then stretch wrapped together. If, as a result of double stacking, loads become unsafe or damage occurs to the product, Euro Car Parts Ltd will refuse the load • No overhang is permitted on the pallet, unless by prior arrangement, or the product exceeds the maximum dimensions of the pallet.
Delivery on non-standard equipment, i.e. cages, stillage’s, bespoke crates, bespoke pallets or racks etc. will only be allowed with the prior permission of the Goods In Team Manager and permission will only be given if the nature of the product dictates that it be delivered on non-standard equipment. Euro Car Parts Ltd will periodically review all non standard equipment that has previously been allowed. Such review may result in the permission for the use of non-standard equipment being removed. Any vehicle which cannot go onto a dock door (e.g. 7.5 tonne) must request a “yard offload” booking to prevent potential refusal in busy times.
