Pallets

When it comes to properly storing and moving large amounts of products and materials around, the critical piece of the puzzle no one ever thinks about is the humble pallet. What many don’t realize is The Importance of Using the Right Pallet. At Ranger 3PL we build pallets to more than twenty different schematics to make sure the right pallet is always used that will best meet a customer’s particular need. And we reuse pallets to get the most out of them during their lifecycle. In addition to using our pallets on-site for our warehousing and logistics customers, we can also ship pallets, whether new or used, built to customer specs on a just-in-time (JIT) basis. We can also heat treat any pallets that will be used for export purposes that meet customs requirements. Get the details on Ranger 3PL’s Pallet Services.

Fulfillment and Final Mile Logistics with Ranger 3PL

Perhaps the most sought-after piece of the supply chain puzzle is fulfillment and final mile logistics. For small operations selling products on the internet or through Amazon, they can rely on well-established companies such as FedEx, the United States Postal Service or United Parcel Service (UPS) for their final mile logistics to get products directly to their final destination—the individual customer who purchased the product. But when you’re talking about bulk distribution of inventory to multiple retailer sites or large customers, you need a different kind of solution.

The advantage of partnering with Ranger 3PL is getting multiple services from a single vendor to cover a large geography in the Midwest. We have the infrastructure and the experience to handle goods of all types, store them in our facilities safely and securely, and ship them to where they need to go in our service area by truck or by train depending on the final destination.

When you want greater visibility into your supply chain, having one vendor instead of many in a whole region is the way to go. A contract with Ranger 3PL as your logistics provider is how companies can scale up their distribution throughout our large service area.

Your Supply Chain Optimized for Maximum Efficiency

What’s the most important aspect of your business? Is it production or making sales of the products? Of course the correct answer is both, but what’s missing from this simple equation is getting the products where they need to be. As your company grows, your supply chain gets more complex. And then one day you look at it and you see how fractured it is. In a given region you may found you’ve got a warehousing vendor, a transportation vendor, an inventory management vendor, and even a pallet vendor. That’s four different vendors you have to manage and coordinate all in one region. No wonder you go home with a headache every day!

When you partner with Ranger 3PL, you get all those services and more with just one vendor to serve your needs in a region of the Midwest that includes multiple major metropolitan areas in its service area. In collaboration with you, we’ll design logistics solutions that reduce the number of moving parts and solve your supply chain headaches once and for all.
