Synopsis
Excerpt from Handling and Storage of Apples in Pallet Boxes
Apple producers and storage and packinghouse operators have shown great interest in pallet boxes in the past 2 years.
Pallet boxes are not an innovation for the handling and storage of agricultural products. In 1944, studies were made in Colorado on their use in connection with potatoes. One of the largest early users of pallet boxes is located in Clear Lake, Iowa. This operator's entire crop of potatoes and onions are conditioned, stored, and handled in pallet boxes. Results of studies made there indicate that pallet boxes can reduce labor requirements and invest ment in facilities, and maintain the quality of the product. The pallet box method of handling is rapidly spreading into use in packing and storage houses for other agricultural products.
