Used pallet resale in Kenya

Resell sound used pallets with disclosed dimensions, condition and intended non-sensitive use.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional resale batch: acquire ten lawfully released used wooden pallets of one buyer-approved dimension for non-food industrial use, subject to competent suitability assessment. Record ownership markings, condition and intended handling/storage use. Exclude pallet-pool assets without release, damaged pallets sold as serviceable, unauthorized EPAL repairs/stamps, export phytosanitary certification and invented load capacities. A pallet looking intact does not prove it suits racking, hoisting or a particular load.

Who is the first customer?

Workshops, storage operators and furniture makers.

Test the offer

Inspect a small lawful lot and identify buyers before tying up storage.
