Pallets themselves are getting bigger, more durable and even more sustainable, and from a machinery perspective, the demand for automation has never been higher. In the past year, the industry has seen real advancement in all areas of palletizing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#Orbis\">Orbis<\/a>, for example, launched a 60&#215;48 inch pallet that is manufactured through Structural Foam Injection, making it extremely durable. The pallets are an optimal solution for heavy duty goods within the automotive and industrial sectors.<\/p>\n<p>On the machinery side, Premier Tech recently launched <a href=\"#TOMA\">TOMA\u2122<\/a>, a new product line that aims to accelerate packaging automation projects. The line\u2019s first product is a palletizing solution featuring an advanced interface, which brings together industrial robustness and user-friendliness with collaborative robotics.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"#BW\">BW Flexible Systems<\/a> announced the launch of the SYMACH 3500S. The new machine is push-type palletizer that is ideal for high-speed stacking and palletizing for bags, bales, crates and cases.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"#Robotiq\">Robotiq<\/a> added to its already robust palletizing lineup with the AX20 and AX30. The highly automated solutions can build pallets as tall as 9 feet and can be used for a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about all of these innovations below.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>ORBIS Introduces 60\u00d748 Industrial Pallet for EV, Powertrain Applications<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"cap\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/ext\/resources\/ISSUES\/2025\/01-January\/Features\/PS0125-Palletizing-1-Orbis6048.jpg\" alt=\"Orbis 60x48 pallet against white background.\" class=\"modalImage\" onclick=\"showImageModal(this.src), showCaption('caption1');\"\/><figcaption>\n<p><span id=\"caption1\">The new pallet is a suitable fit for the industrial and automotive sectors. <em>Courtesy of Orbis<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/104523-orbis-launches-40x48-odyssey-3-runner-pallet-to-improve-handling-efficiency\" rel=\"noopener noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>ORBIS Corporation<\/strong><\/a>, a global leader in reusable packaging solutions, is proud to announce its latest innovation in sustainable packaging materials with the introduction of a new 60\u00d748 industrial pallet specifically designed to cater to the unique requirements of EV and powertrain applications.<\/p>\n<p>Manufactured through a process of Structural Foam Injection, the pallet boasts exceptional durability and reliability, making it an optimal choice for use within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/105159-transpak-expands-east-coast-presence-with-acquisition-of-reid-packaging\" rel=\"noopener noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>industrial<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/105152-nefabs-polyflex-opens-new-facility-in-mexico-for-thermoformed-packaging\" rel=\"noopener noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>automotive<\/strong><\/a> sectors.
