Maximising pallet stability: 5 techniques for optimal load securing

Ensuring pallet stability is a vital part of safe and efficient shipping and logistics.

Therefore, maintaining proper pallet stability is crucial for manufacturers, especially for those involved in high-volume shipping. In this blog, we share best practices for securing a stable load and explain why investing in automation can help deliver consistency every time.

Labour shortage? No problem!

For decades now, the manufacturing industry has faced labour shortages. Since 2010, the number of UK manufacturing jobs has decreased dramatically, yet there are still currently around 61,000 vacant positions. With operative numbers already in decline due to an ageing workforce and lack of skills, Brexit exacerbated the problem. A 2024 report estimated that the UK economy has 1.8 million fewer jobs overall as a result, making the challenge of maintaining and growing manufacturing employment even more difficult. In fact, 75% of manufacturers say skills shortages are their biggest barriers to growth.
