Why NUBO pallets are perfect for you

Cut transport costs, reduce emissions, lighten your staff’s workload ... What’s more, the smart modular NUBO pallets can be seamlessly adapted to your business. Location, time, temperature, humidity, pressure, acceleration, impact — all this can be comprehensively recorded via sensors.

Pallet
  • The pallet has a load recognition system that can be standardized, labelled and read via Bluetooth with standard devices worldwide.
  • In a second step, displays are planned for use with shop-in-the-shop systems that report sales or withdrawals online.
  • Accordingly certified customs systems, similar to a seal, are also presentable.
  • In addition, the software of the pallet can be updated online.
  • In combination with commercially available GPS or low-frequency GPS systems, the pallet shows its positions online if desired, or as a follow-up when reading out the data at the destination.
  • Recording of locations makes the reduction of unproductive downtime or storage time in intra- and interlogistics possible.
  • Trackable throughout the logistics chain with various service providers so that inventories can be optimized.
  • Fair invoicing based on causation makes pallet exchange child's play. The online recording of the pallet position enables fully automatic administration of the exchange pallets, for the first time.
  • The complete tracing of the origin of products is an essential step to ensure or verify originality (e.g. cultivation areas of organic products or production sites of branded products).
  • Maintaining temperature corridors, in addition to turnaround time, is quite essential to meeting quality promises for most transported goods.
  • Seamless compliance with temperature specifications can be monitored online or simply read out during goods acceptance. 
  • High-quality consumer goods are usually extremely sensitive to impact and moisture.
  • Suspected damage that cannot be immediately detected by mere visual inspection can be actively reported by the registered vibrations or moisture messages of the pallet.
  • The pallet registers the use and loads in its life cycle.
  • This allows the pallet to independently indicate possible wear or breakage so that it can be sent for recycling.
  • If desired, the service information can be called up via app. In addition, different colored LEDs on the pallet signal the status.
  • NUBO enables to cut the CO2 impact in half during use. NUBO weighs about half of conventional wooden pallets and only two-thirds of comparable existing fossil plastic pallets.
  • In combination with the high durability - at least 5 times higher than a wooden pallet - NUBO enables comprehensive resource conservation.
  • If all 220 million euro pallets in Europe were replaced by NUBO, this could result in a saving of 5.4 million tons of CO2 over the lifetime of NUBO.
  • NUBO is produced from rapidly renewable resources from ecologically certified suppliers.
  • The NUBO-BioPE can be beneficially thermally recycled after many recycling passes at the end of its use.
  • The special NUBO-BioPLA is industrially compostable after a large number of recycling passes and can alternatively be thermally recycled.

Because money matters

NUBO pallets cut your costs

Conventional wooden or plastic pallets are too expensive in the long run. Replacement, constant repairs, administration, handling, additional transport, weight ... All of this generates unnecessary costs. Unnecessary, because you can now choose the smart and lightweight NUBO pallets — which can be tracked worldwide online among many other advantages.

  • Extremely low weight makes them cheaper to transport
  • More robust design means far fewer repairs
  • Goods tracking function enables major savings
  • Each NUBO is 29% cheaper per use*

Major advantages

NUBO pallets are lighter

Why keep dragging dead weight around? NUBO pallets weigh around half as much as wooden Euro pallets and a third less than plastic pallets. They cut fuel costs and CO2 emissions like never before!

Transporting goods — and intelligence

Pallet 4.0

Integrated sensors? Every NUBO can be made future-ready. Comprehensive data collection and analysis brings you major savings and competitive advantages — for example with active feedback on the location and condition of the pallets and their contents.

  • Online localisation
  • Online monitoring
  • Blockchain-ready
  • Can be integrated with all systems

Tested and certified: Loadable up to incredible 16 tons

Unlike wood: NUBO’s core from steel never breaks. In ISO 8611 tests, NUBO can withstand an incredible 16 tons up to the permissible deflection of 21mm and manages more than 4 tons in high-bay storage. In the ISO long-term test and with safety factor 2, NUBO easily passes the tests with more than 8 tons as well as with 2.5 tons in high-bay storage.

Moisture is also no problem for NUBO. This is quite different for wooden pallets, whose strength values drop by 42% in some cases depending on the ambient humidity. Frequent mold and cracks in the natural product, common in fluctuating real conditions, are not even taken into account here.

Nubo

Carbon emission made easy

Tests have shown that NUBO pallets generate just half the carbon emissions of wooden Euro pallets in use. The carbon-neutral biopolymer material can be recycled and some designs are completely biodegradable. The lightweight NUBO pallets also use up less fuel for transportation — another plus for the environment. What’s more, NUBO is impressively durable, meaning you can reuse it again and again.
