This program provides subsidies from businesses operating rental pallets to shippers and logistics companies that introduce eligible pallets, covering a portion of the expenses incurred for projects aimed at improving logistics.
The requirement is a T11 type (1100mm x 1100mm) rental pallet, and the subsidy covers the costs of necessary equipment and machinery for implementation, the cost of modifying existing equipment, and the cost of disposing of existing company pallets.
The subsidy rate is 50%, with a maximum of 5 million yen for "efforts to improve the efficiency of cargo handling operations," such as those related to transport equipment like palletizers, racks, and forklifts.
The maximum grant amount for "efficiencies to improve logistics efficiency" related to equipment and facilities such as management systems, tags/labels, and scanners is 1000 million yen.
Applications will be accepted until 4 PM on October 17th. The grant decision is expected in early November.
