Samuel Grant Packaging has launched pallet testing machinery, “first of its kind”.

The company’s “Slingshot” replicates the inertia of a vehicle, and tells operative whether the load could be displaced during transport.

Julia Allen, Managing Director of Samuel Grant Sheffield said: “We are proud to be part of EUMOS and offer the Slingshot in the UK to certify clients loads to EUMOS:40509 2020 standards.

“Not only does this offer peace of mind in getting goods delivered in an ‘as despatched’ condition, but also helps logistics companies and manufacturers avoid the cost and damage to reputation associated with claims or governing body investigations if loads are shed or damaged.”
