Rehrig Pacific Co. introduced a new direct-store-delivery (DSD) solution: its DSD GeoSystem (DSD-GS). The system is designed to optimize beverage and other retail delivery applications by improving the methods for picking, loading and distributing DSD retail products. Composed of four key components — the DSD R40 Electric Lift, the GS Pallet, the DSD Hydraulic Sled and Pallet Wrapz — the DSD-GS solution reduces delivery times, increases routing efficiencies, lowers supply chain costs, improves customer engagement and advances sustainability initiatives, the company says. More specifically, the DSD R40 Electric Lift is approximately 800 pounds lighter than competitive models but can hold 4,000 pounds. Rehrig Pacific’s new GS Pallet moves picking to the distribution center and provides an efficient method of delivery by enabling more stops made with fewer routes, it explains. The DSD Hydraulic Sled is designed to speed up productivity when making deliveries on uneven surfaces, including ramps and high thresholds. Finally, the DSD-GS’ Pallet Wrapz feature provides an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to plastic stretch film.
