Plastic Pallets - The Benefits

Plastic pallets have long service lives and cost little to maintain, making them economical over long periods of time. In addition, their initial purchase price has come down, making them a realistic alternative for companies that ship goods in bulk.

Hygienic plastic pallets

Plastic pallets are easy to sanitise by steam cleaning and pressure washing. Plastic pallets can be used repeatedly with virtually no chance of contamination, making them suitable for transporting meat. Plastic pallets do not harbour bugs, and resist moisture, acids, fat, and other chemicals. This means plastic pallets are exempt from international shipping laws that restrict the movement of wooden ones.

These advantages make plastic pallets popular with food, beverage, and pharmaceutical distributors, which require clean, hygienic transportation.

Use plastic pallets to reduce waste

The UK produces millions of tonnes of waste material every year, of which only a small percentage is recycled. Much of this is incinerated, releasing concentrated doses of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This adds to the greenhouse effect which is changing the world’s climate. Some waste is buried in landfill sites, which has horrifying environmental implications. Plastic pallets are 100% recyclable, reducing waste and benefiting the environment.

Get to grips with plastic pallets

Most plastic pallets stack and nest when not in use to save space. This reduces transport and storage costs. Plastic pallets are light and comfortable to handle, which minimises the risk of workers sustaining strain injuries known as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). MSDs have crippling health implications and cost businesses thousands of pounds each year in lost productivity, lawsuits, and training replacement staff.

Plastic pallets – a wide range!

There are plastic pallets to suit most applications, including limited trip versions for exporters, hygienic models for food distributors, and rackable plastic pallets for general warehousing. Plastic pallets come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours. A wide range of accessories is available, which allows users to tailor plastic pallets to precisely match their requirements.

The cost-effective choice

Often, only the purchase price of a pallet is considered. If maintenance and transport costs are examined over working life, plastic pallets are extremely cost cost-effective. Plastic pallets have become a practical, realistic, economical choice.
