Testimonial for P.D.Q. Plastic Skids

The TORONTO STAR has been a customer of P.D.Q. Plastics for over 22 years now and has been more than pleased with the product quality and service we have received. Since the move to our new Press Centre in Vaughan in 1992, our use of plastic pallets is an integral part of everyday production. Our inventory of almost 3,800 skids are used daily in a seven day per week, 24 hour a day operation. They are moved in-house by electric tow motors and by Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV's),, as well as being process by 24 Alvey Palletizers.

It has been important for us that any pallet used must meet the following criteria:

Must be a four-way entry pallet.

Must be extremely durable, able to handle a great deal of abuse.

Must be reasonably light-weight and easy to handle.

Must be nestable which allows for efficient storage when not in use.

The use of P.D.Q. skids presents a number of advantages over alternatives available:

They are environmentally friendly (as opposed to wood skids).

They are user friendly, easy to handle no protruding or rough edges.

Expedient payback - skids are used a dozen times a week.

In our experience here at the Toronto Star, we have used wood pallets and composite pallets, however P.D.Q. skids are the only pallets that we rely on to satisfy our daily production requirements.
