Roll pallet replacement launched
June 1st 2004

It is claimed that a new transit packaging system designed by Arca Systems for Boots will make roll cages and transit containers a thing of the past. They will be replaced by a modular range of stacked containers wheeled on a specially designed dolly.

Containers can be easily taken into the store as shelves are replenished still stacked on the dolly or carried separately to the shelf. Once empty, they can be collapsed and stacked back on the dolly for return to the warehouse.

The Arca system comprises stackable and foldable crates in various sizes and a dolly that can be moved without mechanical handling equipment. The dolly has a 800 x 600mm base and two integral inertia reel safety belts, which are simply extended from the dolly base and clipped shut.
