The use of a slipsheet handling program requires modifications to the standard forklift trucks. However, these modifications are relatively minor and relate to attachments to the forklift trucks so facilitate slipsheeted load handling.

Attachments to forklift trucks and powered walkies are used to handle slipsheeted loads. There are also some forklifts which have been designed to handle only slipsheeted loads.

Replas Slipsheet is designed for both pallet and pallet-less handling of materials to simplify the storage, transporting and de-palletising of a wide range of finished products. Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic, Replas Sheet is a convenient, cost-effective and durable material for the distribution of goods. In conjunction with the appropriate de-palletising system, Replas Sheet can do away with the expense of pallets. Replas Sheet offers a stable, hygienic and protective surface for a wide range of products.

Distribution, packaging, warehouse and freight managers have always striven for more effective and efficient product distribution processes. One of the main objectives over the past few years has been to reduce costs.

Historically, two innovations have stood out above others to improve the distribution process. Firstly, the traditional wooden pallet. And secondly, the innovative concept of unitised loads.

A recent development in pallet-less handling systems is the introduction of the Replas Slipsheeted Bulk Bag. This innovative new product has a high quality Replas Slipsheet attached to a premium grade bulk bag, which allows loads up to 1000 kg to be moved through a distribution chain. This style of packaging suits mechanised loading and unloading systems handling bulk products such as: milk powders, flour, grains, minerals, rice fishmeal etc.
