What are the disadvantages of static charge?<\/strong><\/h4><p>A statically charged pallet acts like a magnet for dirt. This creates two primary problems in the supply chain:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Hygiene &amp; quality (dust):<\/strong>\u00a0The charge attracts dust and dirt from the environment. This can affect the quality of the packaging or the product, which is unacceptable, especially in &lsquo;clean&rsquo; environments.<\/li><li><strong>Shocks &amp; electronics:<\/strong>\u00a0Employees may experience unpleasant shocks upon contact, and sensitive electronics can be disrupted.<\/li><\/ul><h4><strong>2. The solution: Antistatic additives<\/strong><\/h4><p>To prevent this, Q-Pall can optionally provide your pallets with\u00a0<strong>synergistic antistatic additives<\/strong>.<\/p><p>These additives are mixed into the plastic during production and ensure that the surface resistance is lowered. As a result, static charge cannot build up, keeping the pallet clean (dust-repellent) and safe to use.<\/p><p><em>Do you experience dust accumulation or static issues in your warehouse?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jvanboesschoten.wpsoftvence.com\/get-in-touch\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Contact us<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to discuss the possibilities for antistatic additives<\/em>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1623\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1623\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> When do you use clickable bottom runners? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1623\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54c334e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"54c334e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa1a0fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa1a0fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Clickable skids are detachable runners specially developed for our <strong>Q-Pall Light Series<\/strong>.

Because the skids are supplied separately, you benefit from the best of both worlds:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Transport (volume):<\/strong>\u00a0You transport the pallets &lsquo;bare&rsquo; and nested inside each other. This saves considerable loading meters in the truck compared to pallets with fixed skids.<\/li><li><strong>Usage (functionality):<\/strong>\u00a0On location, you simply click the skids underneath the pallet.
