The concept of a unit load is to create a stable and secure, easy-to-move group of stock that is fast to load and unload from vehicles.
The advantages of unit load concepts are as the following:
• More items can be handled at the same time, thereby reducing the number of trips required and, potentially, reducing handling costs, loading and unloading times, and product damage.
• Enables the use of standardized material handling equipment.
