Retail stacks that are pleasing to the pallet

摘要

Stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap was once a palletising tactic confined to wholesale outlets. Yet nowadays, it's not uncommon to see pallet loads, especially around busy seasonal periods, carefully positioned on supermarket floors. More complex patterns, combined with revisions by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) to the L23 manual handling guidance (Manual Handling Operations; Regulations 1992), is proving to be catalyst for automating palletising operations.
