Although Tufbag is one of South Africa’s leading bulk bag manufacturers, we also supply the innovative and game-changing Tellap bulk bag solution to the bulk goods and material handling sector.
The Tellap bulk bag solution is a simple yet revolutionary bulk bag concept that completely negates the need for pallets. The Tellap design incorporates two rigid sleeves integrated into the bottom of the bulk bag on either side, allowing the bag to be lifted by a forklift directly without the need to place it on a pallet first. It also allows for stacking without the need for pallets to stabilise the stack,
Let us take a look at some of the benefits of using the Tellap bulk bag solution.
Safety
One of the most important benefits of the Tellap system is that it immediately creates a safer working environment. Because the bags don’t need to be lifted by the loops on top but can rather be lifted from beneath, the forklift operator’s visibility is greatly improved. Moreover, pallets bring inherent safety risks in terms of the potential for splinters or loose nails injuring warehouse workers.
More Space
Wooden pallets take up a lot of space. If you use pallets for stacking bags, the pallets dramatically reduce the amount of space you might have inside a shipping container or warehouse. Because Tellap bags negate the need for pallets, you can safely stack the bags directly on top of one another save space.
Lightweight
Wooden pallets can be pretty heavy, weighing as much as 35 kg per pallet. Using Tellap bags instead, which are made of lightweight polypropylene, significantly reduces the weight of a load. The Tellap sleeves, which effectively replace the pallet, only weigh about 2 kg in total.
This can save you a lot of money in transportation costs since you can not only transport more products at once owing to improved space efficiency, but it won’t weigh as much either.
Cheaper
The Tellap bulk bags are 100% reusable and durable, unlike wooden pallets, which often break and end up being thrown away and replaced. Their reusability makes Tellap bags the cheaper option.
In addition, getting rid of or recycling wooden pallets often requires a collection service, which further adds to the cost.
