Reusable insulated pallet cover: what the data says
A reusable insulated pallet cover is an insulating cover that you do not throw away after a shipment, but place over a pallet again. We do not state a fixed number of uses. What is certain: our reusable insulated pallet cover is made of sturdy material for long-term use, available from stock and from our own production since 1972.
Below you will find what is known about reuse and which versions are reusable.
What do we say about reuse and what do we not?
Our product pages state for the pallet covers that they are durable and reusable, made of sturdy, high-quality materials for long-term use. This applies to the covers for block pallets and euro pallets, to the IBC cover and to the ULD cover for PMC. The drum cover is made of reusable, high-quality materials.
With the roll container covers we go a step further. They are explicitly listed in the range as a reusable insulated cover and are made of durable material that withstands intensive use and repeated deployment without loss of quality.
We do not give a number of uses, hours or kilometers.
Reusable pallet cover: the same products under other names
A reusable pallet cover is also written as pallet covers reusable. It is the same category: a thermal cover that fits over a pallet and does its job more than once. A reusable insulated pallet cover and a reusable pallet cover are therefore the same kind of product, only under another name. You can read more about the different names in our blog thermal pallet cover or insulated pallet cover.
The product page of every reusable insulated pallet cover shows the size, the version and what we say about its use.

The underside of the pallet as well
