How to repair your Dolav |
Dolav "Battery Ace" plastic pallet box lasts |
For major European lead-acid auto battery recycler, Recobat ( http://www.recobat.com ), "The Dolav Ace last three times longer than other plastic box pallets," that is according to David Calleja, Recobat managing director. He reckons his Dolav are stronger because they are made as a one-piece moulding with the three runners as an integral part of the pallet box. "When we rotate the Dolavs on forklifts to tip batteries out the integrally moulded runners do not break. Others do," said David Callej |
