Finishing — Caught in a Bind?

"We're coming out with a new size in our lifts and unloaders—a 48-by-48, which basically allows standard U.S. pallets to be handled," Marr notes. "Previously, many of the standard pallet sizes and equipment were set up around European specifications, and you couldn't fit a 48-by-48 unless you went to a very large-sized lift, which actually goes up to 60˝. It's taking equipment that's been popular in Europe, especially Germany, and making modifications to it so that it fits the standard U.S. format sizes."
