Thermal pallet cover for block pallet, 120 x 100 x 150 cm
A thermal pallet cover of 120 x 100 x 150 cm is a reusable insulating cover that fits over a standard block pallet of 120 x 100 cm. This size was designed specifically for air freight and protects the load against temperature fluctuations and moisture. Below you can see which versions exist in this size and how they differ.
One size, several versions
Our range includes several products in the size 120 x 100 x 150 cm. In air freight, a thermal pallet cover of 120 x 100 x 150 is also called a thermal cover, thermo cover, cargo cover or thermal blanket. The table shows which products exist for this size.
| Version | Size | What the product description says |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal pallet cover for block pallet | 120 x 100 x 150 cm | protection against heat, cold, temperature fluctuations and moisture |
| Thermal pallet cover for block pallet, double layer | 120 x 100 x 150 cm | double layer, for air freight of cooled loads |
| Thermal cargo blankets for pallets | 120 x 100 x 150 cm | bubble wrap laminated with aluminum, easy to fit |
| Insulated cargo blankets for pallets | 120 x 100 x 150 cm | description for air freight |
| Insulating blankets for freight pallets | 120 x 100 x 150 cm | insulating blanket for freight pallets |
| Thermal insulation covers | 120 x 100 x 160 cm | 10 cm higher than the standard cover |
The difference is therefore mainly in the name, the wording of the product description, the number of layers and the height.
Which cargo is a thermal pallet cover for a block pallet meant for?
According to the product description, a block pallet cover in this size is used in air freight, in pharmaceutical logistics and for food transport. Think of medicines and vaccines, but also vegetables, fruit and dairy. The cover protects on long flights and during storage, and keeps out rain and humidity. The product is reusable and made from sturdy, high-quality materials.
The size 120 x 100 cm is also the US pallet. If your load does not fit a standard size, we make custom covers. Because we produce ourselves, that is routine.
The way a reflective insulated pallet cover works is the same for all versions. The reflective outer layer keeps out radiant heat and the insulating inner layer keeps the cold in the load. That counts most on the apron, where cargo is often unprotected in the sun or in the cold during loading and unloading. A cover limits the exchange with the surroundings, but does not stop it completely.
Insulated pallet cover 120 x 100 for international customers
An insulated pallet cover 120 x 100 is the same cover as the thermal pallet cover for block pallets. That is why we also supply this size as a product with an international name. You can read more about the different names in Cargo blanket, thermal blanket and insulating blanket for pallets: what is the difference?.
The difference with the IBC cover
Note that the thermal cover for an IBC container also has a footprint of 120 x 100 cm, but is 120 cm high. That cover is meant for Intermediate Bulk Containers, not for a pallet load. A thermal pallet cover for block pallets is 150 cm high and is meant for a block pallet.
The base of the block pallet
The underside of a pallet is quickly forgotten. That is why there is an insulated base for block pallets of 130 x 150 cm, also in a double layer version of 8 mm thickness. The base is made of bubble wrap laminated with aluminum and is often bought together with the cover. You can also use cooling elements or ice packs in the load. The cover works passively and slows down temperature change, it does not produce cold itself.
Height and number of layers
The standard cover is 150 cm high. If the load is taller, there is a cover of 160 cm or we make a custom one. Besides the single cover there is a double layer version, meant for air freight of cooled loads. We do not state a figure for the gain from that extra layer.
A comparison with the refrigerated truck is in Thermal cover or refrigerated truck. The difference with shrink wrap is in Thermal cover or shrink wrap: the cover is reusable, shrink wrap is for single use.
