Rent a Palletiser from Just £2.19/hour – Flexible, Fast and Risk-Free Automation

Does renting a palletiser make business sense? Renting isn’t just a financial decision—it’s a strategic one. Below, we break down the key reasons why more manufacturers are turning to palletiser rental to meet production goals, improve labour efficiency, and stay ahead of the curve.

1. Avoid Capital Expenditure & Preserve Cash Flow

Purchasing automation equipment can involve significant upfront costs—often six figures or more. For many small to medium-sized manufacturers, or larger firms dealing with budget constraints, this level of investment can delay or even derail automation plans.

Renting a palletiser enables you to bring automation into your production line without tying up capital. This means you can keep your cash working in other areas of the business—whether that’s investing in staff, raw materials, product development, or marketing.

2. Predictable Operating Costs for Smarter Financial Planning

With our rental model, your palletising solution becomes a fixed, predictable operating cost. You won’t be hit with unexpected service fees, repair bills, or upgrade costs—everything is included in your rental agreement.

This predictable cost structure makes it easier to forecast budgets and measure ROI, especially when comparing the hourly rate against the cost of manual labour.

Hire rates:

• £2.19/hour for 24/7 shift operation
• £6.14/hour for 12-hour, 5-day-per-week shift
  (Rates based on a 5-year contract)

3. Short Lead Times & Fast Deployment

In manufacturing, time lost is opportunity lost. Traditional automation solutions often come with long design, build, and installation timelines. This can leave you waiting months before your line is even up and running.

Granta Automation’s rental palletisers are available on short lead times and designed for rapid deployment. This means you can react quickly to increasing demand, short-term contracts, or capacity bottlenecks—without the usual delay or disruption.

4. Compact Footprint – Install Almost Anywhere

Space constraints are a common concern when implementing automation. The good news? Our palletising systems are designed with flexibility in mind.

In fact, they start from a footprint as small as a Smart car, meaning they can be installed in compact facilities without requiring major layout changes. Whether you’re retrofitting a legacy production line or setting up a lean manufacturing cell, our systems can be configured to fit your space.

6. Scalable for Growth & Changing Needs

What suits your production now might not meet your needs in six months. Renting offers flexibility that purchasing simply doesn’t. You can:

• Start small with a single cobot palletiser
• Upgrade to a larger industrial system as volumes increase
• Scale up with multiple systems as new lines are added
• Change configurations as product sizes, stacking patterns or pallet specs evolve

This makes palletiser rental ideal for dynamic manufacturers operating in fast-paced markets.

7. Labour Savings & Improved Health & Safety

Manual palletising is repetitive, physically demanding, and prone to injury risks. It also ties up valuable human resources in low-value tasks.

Automated palletising reduces labour dependency, improves line consistency, and creates a safer working environment. It also protects against the risk of labour shortages or absenteeism—issues many manufacturers are facing now more than ever.

In many cases, customers see:

• Reduction in manual handling injuries
• Increased OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
• Reallocation of staff to higher-value roles

8. Expert Support

When you rent a palletiser from Granta Automation, you gain access to a team of experts who are with you every step of the way. From system design to commissioning, training, and ongoing support, we ensure your system performs reliably and continues to deliver results.

Tailored Solutions for Every Application

We offer two flexible palletising systems to meet a range of production requirements:

• Cobot Palletiser (30kg payload) – Ideal for low to medium throughput operations. Safe for collaborative or industrial use and compact in design, this is a great option for manufacturers new to automation for various product types.
• Industrial Robot Palletiser (140kg payload) – Built for high-speed, high-volume environments. Capable of handling heavy payloads with speed and accuracy, ideal for continuous operations and bulk palletising needs.

Each system is configured to your specific product, pallet pattern, and line speed—ensuring seamless integration and maximum efficiency.
