Unveiling the GoFLC 654 | Go Plastic Pallets ®

At goplasticpallets.com, we are constantly evaluating and adding to our product portfolios to ensure our customers have quick access to a range plastic pallets, pallet boxes and containers for every scenario – from seamlessly integrating with sophisticated automated systems, to boosting efficiency across picking and packing operations, to exporting goods overseas. The latest product to be added to our growing range is the GoFLC 6548, an innovative folding large container. We asked our Sales Director Dan Starnes to give us the lowdown.

Hi Dan. What makes the GoFLC 6548 stand out in the market for folding large containers?

The logistics and manufacturing industries constantly seek robust, reliable, and space-saving solutions for transporting goods. The GoFLC 6548 is an outstanding addition to our range of folding large containers, offering innovative design and enhanced functionality.

What makes it unique is its moulded size of 1600mm x 1200mm, which is quite unusual in the industry. Typically, when you need a container larger than the standard 1200mm x 800mm or 1200mm x 1000mm footprints, you’d have to cut and weld two boxes together. This process often compromises the strength and integrity of the container. However, the GoFLC 6548 is manufactured at this size, ensuring robustness and durability, which is unmatched in the market.

How does the GoFLC 6548 compare to other containers in the GoFLC range?

The GoFLC range has been a popular choice for many of our customers over the years, especially the GoFLC 960 and 980 models. These products have earned their reputation for being reliable, space-saving, and cost-effective solutions for a variety of industries.

We believe the new GoFLC 6548 continues this tradition, but on a greater scale, offering a significantly larger capacity of 1206 litres (GoFLC 960: 625 litres; GoFLC 980: 847 litres), while maintaining the same high standards of strength and durability.

What industries will benefit most from the GoFLC 6548?

The GoFLC 6548 is particularly well-suited for the engineering, manufacturing, recycling and waste management sectors. These industries often require strong containers that can handle large, heavy materials. The GoFLC 6548’s high load capacities (dynamic: 2700kg; static: 4500kg) make it ideal for these demanding applications.

How does the GoFLC 6548 contribute to operational efficiency and sustainability?

One of the standout features of the GoFLC 6548 is its collapsible design, which not only makes it easy to store when not in use, but also dramatically reduces the space required during return transport.

When the container is collapsed, it measures just 354mm. As a result, it occupies far less space in trailers, which helps to cut down on the number of return journeys needed. This in turn lowers transportation costs, fuel consumption, and carbon emissions. By optimising trailer space, businesses can significantly reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining efficient logistics operations. In today’s climate, where sustainability is increasingly important, the GoFLC 6548 is an ideal solution for businesses looking to enhance their green credentials without compromising on functionality or strength.

Finally, if a customer asked you to summarise the GoFLC 6548 in a 20 second pitch, what would you say?

The GoFLC 6548 provides a unique combination of strength, size, and sustainability. It’s perfect for businesses that need a large container that can handle heavy-duty loads while offering practical space-saving features when not in use. The innovative moulded size and collapsible design set it apart from other containers on the market.

Thanks for your time, Dan.
