Advantages to going Plastic
Durable Means Re-Usable
Although the initial cost of plastic shipping pallets is sometimes slightly more than costs associated with traditional wooden, metal and cardboard shipping pallets, plastic shipping pallets obtain a dramatically longer lifespan. Plastic shipping pallets are virtually maintenance-free and may be reused for up to an astonishing 10 years or longer.Their durability makes them re-usable and reliable. This is one reason why many industries that use closed-loop warehousing systems ('closed loop' means pallets are returned to sender after delivery) now prefer plastic pallets. The pharmaceutical, automotive, beverage and dairy industries are all in this category.
Recycle
Another aspect of re-usability is recycling. Reusable plastic pallets are 100% recyclable and can be ground up and turned into new pallets, or other products.
Safer
Plastic shipping pallets are also proven to be safer than alternative shipping pallets, they do not easily warp, shrink and there are no splinters, no nails, no screws or sharp corners to consider. This will reduce injuries and damage to those expensive fork lift tires you keep replacing because of those wooden splinters.
Clean and Hygenic
Our plastic shipping pallets, unlike alternative shipping pallets, are non-absorbent and impervious to pests, odors, acids, fats or solvents. Thus, plastic shipping pallets are unlikely to be delayed or quarantined due to issues of infestation or damages that commonly plague alternative shipping pallets.
Many agricultural industries and food producers are now using plastic pallets for this essential reason. Plastic pallets are easily cleaned via hot-wash, steam-cleaning, or chemical sanitization. Another aspect of a pallet's cleanliness is showroom suitability - for example, the electronics industry is now moving to plastic pallets because in many cases the product needs to be displayed on the pallet, so the pallet becomes a display.
Lighter Means Cheap to Ship
Plastic pallets are approximately 30% lighter than wooden pallets of the same strength. Think of the savings this makes to transportation and shipping, especially air freight. This saving alone can return your investment; add the pallet's durability, and your savings can be considerable.
Plastic pallets also stack easily, and are more efficient to move around and store in a warehouse, not just because they are lighter but because they stack together better and use less space than regular wooden pallets.
What's more, plastic pallets made from recycled material fill the low-cost end of the market, providing a greater range of product choices.
