Unit Pallets Limited now have 2 fully operational Cape Lines, which incorporates the latest pallet technology.  The latest technology has proven and robust engineering, complete with robotic feed for composition blocks.  The new line Cape 2 has a state of the art spray booth with part drying facility for the highest quality pallets.

This assembly line meets exact nailing pattern requirements of customers, which is of critical importance to life cycle costs as pallets are increasingly recovered and re-used.  Other benefits include reduced changeover times and greater flexibility, and combined with Cape 1 gives Unit Pallets a significant capacity to manufacture high volumes of top quality pallets.  This is combined with by far the highest drying capacity in the United Kingdom, which gives our company the capability to meet the demands of major clients for dried and ISPM15 compliant pallets on competitive lead times.
