Plastic pallets are a leading innovation in shipping and warehousing. With various pallet types on the market, how do you decide which is right for your business? We’ve compiled various factors to consider and will review several types of pallets below. The experts at Polymer Solutions International Inc. can also help you decide which pallet is best for your products and equipment.
Features to Consider When Buying Plastic Pallets for Your Business
When choosing a plastic pallet, consider the following features:
- Durability: Choose a plastic pallet that can support the weight of your products. Loading your pallet over or under its recommended weight capacity can cause a broken pallet or damaged product.
- Purpose: Some pallets are designed for specific end uses, such as storage, shipping or retail displays. This purpose impacts the pallet’s weight capacity, durability, style and size.
- Dimensions: The size of your products will determine your plastic pallet’s dimensions. The right pallet should fit the load comfortably and be easy to store, load and unload to increase your storage capacity and keep the products safe.
- Sustainability: Businesses trying to manage their environmental impact may want a plastic pallet manufactured with recycled materials and an eco-friendly production method.
- Hygiene: Businesses in the food and beverage or pharmaceutical industry must have hygienic pallets that are easy to clean, contaminant-resistant and nonabsorbent. Plastic pallets meet these hygiene and safety requirements from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Types of Plastic Pallets
Polymer Solutions International Inc. offers several styles of plastic pallets, including:
- Nestable pallets: Our nestable pallets fit or “nest” into one another for easy storage when the pallets are empty.
- Export pallets: If you need a pallet for one-way shipping, use our export pallets made from recycled materials with compression injection molding. We offer 40 inches (in.) x in. 48 solid top pallets and 40 in. x 48 in. light-duty export pallets.
- One-piece hygienic pallets: Our one-piece pallets are National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified for hygienic and sensitive applications.
- Open and solid top pallets: We have pallets with open and solid tops. The open design makes the pallet lightweight, and solid tops prevent small items from falling through.
