ITS Ltd manufactures and supplies premium heat treated pallets, packaging crates, wooden crates and other timber products for all applications. With over 25 years of experience, we are certain we know everything there is to know about timber solutions. At our Portadown base, we use only modern machinery and plant, so we have the capacity to manufacture in large quantities. We have clients across Northern Ireland and Ireland.
What is Timber?
Lumber, also known as timber, is wood that has been processed into beams and planks, a stage in the process of wood production. Lumber is mainly used for structural purposes but has many other uses as well.
What is Timber used for?
Timber is used in construction work, such as timber framed buildings, fencing and floorboards, in furniture or made into pallets. Branches, tops of trees and smaller trees can be used as wooden posts, or are chipped and pressed to make manufactured boards. Here at ITS Ltd, we use only the best timber when creating our premium, bespoke pallets and packaging crates.
Furthermore, Timber can also be used as an important source of fuel, where its combustion can be used to heat homes, provide energy for cooking food, and heat water for domestic use. Wood pellets and other remnants of the timber processing such as biomass are shipped and may be used as a convenient form of wood-based fuel to be used in stoves or heaters. Some estimates suggest that up to 40% of all the timber harvested from forests worldwide is ultimately consumed as a fuel source.
What we provide at ITS Ltd in Northern Ireland and Ireland
-Pallets
We provide standard size, 2 or 4 way entry and made to measure pallets, so we can provide exactly the right pallet for the job. We can supply pallets in bulk, as per your preference. Whether you need pallets for stacking or transporting products, it is important to use only high quality ones. Buying pallets which are manufactured using poor quality wood or which have not been constructed properly could break, thereby causing damage to your goods. We have clients from across Northern Ireland and Ireland, and even reach as far as other areas of the UK.
-Export Crates
Wooden crates have been used extensively for exporting all types of products including electronics, machinery and engineering goods. At Integrated Timber Solutions Ltd, we use high quality wood and other materials to manufacture crates to your exact specifications. After assessing the size and weight of any specific item that is to be packed, our specialists can then determine the specification and construction of the packing crate. We take into account how the crate will be lifted and transported. We prove our services in Northern Ireland, Ireland and the UK.
-Heat Treatment
‘Heat treated’ refers to wood that has been heated to a specific temperature. Compared to kiln drying, heat treatment is a much shorter process, taking only a few hours. Although less moisture is removed during the heat treatment process than kiln drying, moisture is still removed. This makes the pallets lighter and cheaper to transport. Parasites in the wood are removed, reducing the spread between countries, and decreasing the risk of cross-contaminated goods. Heat treatment is more common than kiln drying. Heat treatment ensures compliance with ISPM 15 regulations. This a rule that ensures all wood packaging materials are sanitised before use in international export or import. At ITS Ltd, we manufacture and supply premium heat treated pallets, packaging crates, wooden crates and other timber products for all applications.
At Integrated Timber Solutions Ltd, we understand the importance of good packaging that is safe, secure and robust, yet is easy to handle and transport.
