Keg contact: what to establish
Record keg diameter, chime contact and filled weight. Check the arrangement against deck support and the restraint needed for filled outbound loads or empty returns.
The question to answer first
Which keg contacts must the deck support?
Record the answer alongside the size and condition of the proposed base. Include any receiver specification, because it can affect the decision before price or quantity is discussed.
| Buying decision | Euro pallets for brewery kegs |
|---|---|
| Main question | Which keg contacts must the deck support? |
| Load information | Packed dimensions, total mass and the positions where the load contacts the deck. |
| Site information | Receiving requirements, handling equipment and storage support. |
| Order information | Quantity, delivery postcode and unloading arrangements. |
Apply the decision to a real load
Electronics commonly travel in labelled cartons with protective inner packaging. Match the layer pattern to carton edges and maintain readable labels for receiving.
Uneven pressure or overhang can damage protective packaging without obvious pallet failure. Use the export Euro pallets guide for boxed electronics to relate this question to a specific consignment.
Keep the specification clear
- Describe what is required rather than relying on a short commercial product name.
- Separate confirmed requirements from preferences and unanswered questions.
- Obtain the supplier’s proposed specification and compare it with the receiving policy.
- Confirm suitability, availability and transport arrangements before placing the order.
