Jeco Plastics Releases New Precision Pallet

Plainfield, Indiana, USA; September 2007—Jeco Plastic Products—designer and manufacturer of plastic pallets and containers for the worldwide manufacturing and logistics industries since 1973—has announced a pallet specifically for the Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102 and XL 105 presses. Developed in conjunction with Heidelberg, the Jeco Model 3B pallet is internally reinforced with steel for added strength, and meets the precise dimensional standards necessary for use with high speed presses. The pallet is rated to accommodate loads as great as 1400 kg (3086 lb), for as long as 48 hours. Molded as a single unit, of virgin resin, the Jeco Model 3B pallet is made using a process which yields no stress points, making it the most durable pallet available. The pallet may be accessed by fork lift or hand truck from any side.

Announcing the new Jeco pallet, Jeco CEO Craig Carson commented: “The new Jeco Model 3B pallet for the CD 102 and XL 105 presses is the result of long cooperation between Heidelberg and Jeco. The pallet was developed by Jeco designers in accordance with Heidelberg specifications, to be far more dimensionally precise and stable than conventional plastic pallets. Printers using the Jeco Model 3B pallet may confidently run the Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102 and XL 105 press at rated speed.”
