Universal Package Systems Announces Addition of New Container Repair Facility
DALE, IN – Universal Package Systems has added a new 6000 sq. ft. facility dedicated solely to meet growing demand for the company’s Universal Plus™ Clean and Repair services.With the rising cost of new bulk containers, many companies are choosing to have their bulk containers repaired, and placed back into the work flow.
The new facility has given Universal room to streamline their already efficient clean and repair process.The cost to repair a broken, unusable container, is typically 30 -50% of the cost of purchasing a new container.With the new facility, customers will generally experience a two week or less turn-around time.
Universal completely repairs and cleans virtually any reusable bulk container and backs their work with a full guarantee against defects.Arrangements are made either by the customer or by Universal to transport all broken containers to Universal’s Dale, Indiana facility.The containers are then unloaded, with each going through a thorough physical inspection to assess condition.They are then separated and sorted according to those that can and cannot be repaired.
Close attention is paid to structural integrity and other safety factors that may render a container unsafe or not repairable.Typical inspection points include broken doors, latches, holes and cracks.Those with holes or cracks are professionally repaired by trained repair technicians.Broken latches and doors are replaced or repaired.
Each container is then again physically inspected for complete and safe reusability, and cleaned according to agreed upon procedures with the customer and prepared for shipment back to the customer.Customers are only charged for containers that are repaired and returned to them in a condition suitable for continued use.
