Pallets & Pooling Equipment

The MMA encourages businesses to participate in equipment pooling for pallets and crates as it is more efficient and cost-effective than each business purchasing their own. Pooling equipment at the Melbourne Market is provided by CHEP and LOSCAM. New market users should first register with a pooling supplier before completing the Market Pooling Equipment form in the New Business Start Up Pack.

The Operating Rules require all businesses to either register an equipment pooling account or provide a declaration if they choose not to participate. If a business does not have an active pooling equipment account or has made a declaration and is found to be using pooling equipment in the Market, it risks all access cards associated with that business being cancelled. For more information see Operating Rules 1.1 Market Business or speak to Customer Service.
