Last-mile solutions from Loadhog

Returnable packaging offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for the retail and e-commerce sectors - including last-mile deliveries.

Returnable packaging (RTP) is designed to be used multiple times and eliminates the waste of single-use packaging while providing ergonomic and time-saving benefits, making it the future of urban logistics. 

For example, the Loadhog Omnimax is an omnichannel container that can be used throughout the supply chain. For home delivery, it usually comes with the optional lid to protect the load during transport. Another popular last-mile option is the Apollo container with fixed lid (ALC). The hidden hinge pin provides more security for the goods inside the container. Of course, these and other Loadhog containers can be branded with your company logo for greater brand awareness during last-mile deliveries. 

Systems with roll cages

All Loadhog containers work in conjunction with the company's dolly & lid system to provide an end-to-end RTP solution that completely eliminates both one-trip packing and double handling. With this solution, which can be driven from the delivery vehicle to the customer, there is no need for a pallet truck and the vehicle is better filled compared to using roll containers. 

Dolly Max is the basis of Loadhog's next-generation roll container system, featuring an innovative braking mechanism, one-touch operation and easy foot access. Unlike roll cages, the system has no sharp metal contact points. The Dolly Max is used in conjunction with the reusable Half Euro Pallet Cover. This has retractable straps and an integrated tensioning mechanism to secure the load, eliminating the need for stretch wraps or banding. On average, it takes only 20 seconds to secure a pallet lid, compared to 2-3 minutes for shrink wrapping a load. The use of Pallet Lids has not only saved Clipper Logistics labor, it has also reduced the 3PL's use of stretch wraps by more than 7 million meters per year, providing significant environmental benefits.

Other companies benefiting from Loadhog's last-mile solutions include French online organic supermarket La Fourche, bicycle delivery company Agilenville and city delivery company Carla Cargo.
