What is Pallet Exchange?

Pallet exchange is a process of swapping empty pallets for full ones during the delivery of goods.

During pallet exchange, the driver delivers goods to the receiver using pallets and then exchanges the empty pallets for the full ones the receiver provides. This process is common in the logistics industry, as it helps to reduce the number of pallets in circulation and minimises waste. The exchange of pallets is the responsibility of both the shipper and the receiver, as they are responsible for ensuring that the pallets are in good condition and suitable for reuse. Proper inventory management is also important during pallet exchange to ensure that the correct number of pallets are exchanged and accounted for.
