CHEP Pool Model

CHEP rents pallets per trip. No upfront capital. Issue, transfer, recovery, and leakage fees.

Purchase Model

Buy pallets outright. Higher upfront capital. Lower per-cycle cost.

TCO Comparison

For 100,000 pallet-trips/year operation: CHEP $400K-700K/year. Purchase: $200K capex + $20K maintenance, amortized over 5 years = $60K/year. Purchase wins TCO at scale.

When CHEP Wins

When pool acceptance is mandatory (Walmart, Costco, Kroger), low-volume seasonal, or no capital available.

When Purchase Wins

High-volume stable operations, captive loops, custom dimensions, when pool recovery is uncertain.
