How much weight will a Layer Saver hold?

hold 4,000# with up to 1,250# on the upper tier. The rail version will
hold 8,000# with up to 3,600# on the upper tier. The truck adjustable
version will hold 4,000# with up to 2,500# on the upper tier.

Will my current plastic or wood pallets fit on a Layer Saver?
Yes, the base footprint as well as the upper tier are designed to fit
all plastic and wood pallets that measure 40" x 48".

Can a Layer Saver be adjusted to fit my product?
Yes, the leg heights can be customized up to 52" on the truck collapsible version. The truck adjustable version can be customized up to 56" and the rail adjustable up to 62"

Do you offer a trial period?
Yes, our lease-to-own is available in 3 month increments. If the unit
is not a good fit for your product we will cancel the contract in 3 or
6 months and retrieve our unit.

How do you handle repairs?
All of our units will have an identification number and carry a 2-year
warranty. Repair issues will be handled at one of our facilities where
we will simply exchange the units and continue the existing program.

Do you have a railcar version?
Layer Saver has produced a unique design specifically for railcars equipped with height adjustable legs and is available to increase cube utilization and decrease damage.

How much does a unit weigh?
That depends on the intended use and weight. Light-weight units can
weigh as little as 85#. Heavy duty models (with steel and/or aluminum upper tiers) can weigh up to 125lbs.

Are there any start-up fees or in-and-out charges when using Layer Saver Shipping Frames?
No, we have a low monthly rate that includes return freight. The more
you use a Layer Saver, the lower your per-trip cost.

How much does a unit cost?
That depends on volume and the intended use of the Layer Saver. We
have 3 programs to choose from: lease-to-own, point-to-point (which
includes return logistics) and outright purchase. We would be glad to
tailor a quote for one of these products and its intended use.

If I am interested in using the Layer Saver as a temporary storage unit what will the weight limit be?
In a static position in a warehouse, the Layer Saver will hold up to
6,000#.

Are you open to customizing a unit to fit my specific application?
Yes, our engineering team would be happy to work with you expanding
the Layer Saver end uses. Some engineering charges may be applicable.

What materials are used to build a Layer Saver?
Depending on the unit ordered, it could be a combination of
compression-molded plastic, aluminum and steel.
