• Height adjustment: allows you to quickly adapt the vertical space to different product formats and weights, reducing setup time and ensuring optimal space management.
• Layout flexibility: the variable bars allow the configuration to be modified based on the curing flow and the type of ham, improving air circulation and curing uniformity.
• Corrosion resistance: galvanized steel protects against oxidation and degradation in the repeated humidity cycles characteristic of curing rooms.
• Demountability and transport: the demountable structure facilitates cleaning, maintenance, component replacement, and movement between different areas of the plant.
• Reliable capacity: the 300 kg uniformly distributed load guarantees safety even in repeated and persistent loads typical of curing.
• Management efficiency: reduces setup and reorganization times of the curing room, improving overall productivity.

The pallet is specifically indicated for natural and controlled curing rooms in meat processing plants. It find its primary use in artisanal and industrial ham factories where the curing of whole hams or sections represents a critical phase of the production process.

It is also suitable for large slaughterhouses that internally manage the curing of noble parts, and in specialized meat processing companies that need to vertically organize products during the resting, smoking, or conditioning phases.

The adjustable structure makes it suitable for production contexts that frequently vary the type of product or space requirements, avoiding investments in dedicated equipment for every configuration.

Choose this pallet when you need to optimize the vertical space of the curing room without sacrificing the quality of air circulation around the product. It is the right choice if your production facility works with different sizes or weights of hams and you need to quickly adapt the configuration without relying on fixed or multiple solutions.

It is essential if you operate in humid and corrosive environments where ordinary steel degrades rapidly; galvanized steel offers multi-year durability, reducing early replacement costs. It is particularly advantageous if you require frequent maintainability and cleaning, as rapid disassembly avoids prolonged downtime.

It represents the operational prerequisite in companies that practice seasonal product rotation or that integrate curing as a service for third parties, where configuration flexibility becomes a competitive differentiator.

What is the difference between this pallet and a standard steel shelving system?

Standard shelving is designed for uniform loads of containers or boxes; this pallet is specialized for supporting whole or semi-finished hams during curing. The bars (instead of solid shelves) allow superior air circulation around the product, a critical element for natural curing quality. Furthermore, the ability to adjust the height and positioning of the bars responds to the specific needs of raw meat materials, which cannot be compressed or stored with the same rigidity as generic goods.

Is galvanized steel sufficient for environments with continuous high humidity?

Yes. Galvanization is the standard treatment for high-humidity environments and frequent condensation cycles, such as curing rooms. The zinc coating protects the underlying steel from oxidation even in relative humidity conditions of 90-100%, provided no aggressive chemical agents are present. For particularly critical environments (e.g., rooms with salt water or corrosive detergents), it is advisable to check with the supplier for the need for additional treatments.

Can I change the number of bars per level?

The provided configuration includes 4 bars for the 1st and 3rd levels and 3 for the 2nd. Although the structure is designed for this composition, the variability of bar placement allows you to adjust the distance and horizontal position to adapt to products of different sizes. For structural changes to the number of bars, contact the supplier to evaluate compatibility with capacity and stability.

What is the maximum load per single level?

The total capacity is 300 kg uniformly distributed among the three levels. This means each level can theoretically support 100 kg if the load is balanced. However, the distribution must remain homogeneous; it is not advisable to load a single level with the entire weight. Always consult the supplier’s instructions for specific loads or asymmetrical configurations.

How is disassembly performed and how long does it take?

Disassembly follows a standard procedure of screws and joints, generally completed in 15-20 minutes with common tools (wrenches or screwdrivers). The components remain compact even when disassembled, facilitating transport and storage. The product’s technical manual provides detailed instructions for safe disassembly and reassembly.

What food safety regulations apply?

The pallet itself is not subject to direct food certification (it is a support structure, not in contact with food). However, galvanized steel meets the hygiene requirements for meat processing environments according to REGULATION (EC) 852/2004 (hygiene of foodstuffs). Galvanization must not release harmful substances, complying with EN ISO 1461 standards. We recommend checking with the supplier for compliance with any specific regional or company regulations regarding meat processing plants.
