One of the most requested benefits of our Industry
Partners is enhanced access to the Center's Contract Test Facilities.
The center conducts proprietary tests on packaging, pallets, and material
handling equipment, which generates funding for center activities, keeps our
staff up to date on the latest technologies, and assists our members with
the design, performance evaluation, and new product development of their unit
load material handling systems.
The Center for Unit Load Design develops systems-based technologies to optimize
material handling efficiency. Facilities include
The
William H. Sardo Jr. Pallet & Container Research Laboratory
and the
Unit Load
Testing Laboratory,
which feature a comprehensive packaging testing laboratory and automated
material handling equipment typically found in many automated warehouses.
