Why are plastic pallets better than wood?
• last 10-50 times longer than wood • have residual (trade-in) value • recyclable • field tested with over 3 million delivered • high coefficient of friction with anti-skid design for top, bottom, and fork lift tine contact • 2,800 pound rackable to ASTM standards • 5,000 pound dynamic load • 25,000 pound static load • each pallet prevents 50 pounds of post industrial plastic from going in landfills • each pallet prevents 50-70 pounds of wood from being used in a pallet thus helping reduce deforestation and associated landfill of used/broken wooden pallets • plastic pallets are perfect for closed loop systems • plastic pallets have substanitally lower life cycle costs (cost per trip) • no maintenance/repair-reground to make a new plastic pallet when damaged • no exposed nails, wood chips, or broken boards on manufacturing or warehouse floors preventing fork lift issues, wood in machinery, and providing better safety for reducing injuries, lowering workers’ comp claims, and minimizes da
