In my opinion this has the potential for a significant impact on our industry. In my review of the prototype, I believe there will be a significant safety improvement over traditional wooden and metal shipping racks. In a recent conversation with my largest shipping vendor he told me that 100% of his driver workers compensation cases are related to them handling returnable metal shipping racks. Your new light weight, easy to break down design should provide a significant improvement for both driver and greenhouse worker safety.
The ease in assembly and breakdown should provide significant labor savings. Also the compact nesting for return and reuse looks like a big plus to reduce our ever increasing freight costs.
The initial cost projects would lead me to believe this new design will have a major impact on our industry.
