Plastic pallets

One role of plastic pallets is protecting the products from the damage they might take when placed directly on the floor:

• Against wet floors or spilled liquids that may ruin packages
• Prevents moulds from developing under stacks
• Protects against freezing floors that may harm products

Plastic is preferred more and more over wood for pallet production.

Advantages are:

• Plastic has a constant own weight which allows easy weighing of palletized goods. Wooden pallets have variable weights for different reasons, including inevitable humidity variations
• Plastic is more resistant in time so that pallets can serve more use cycles and a longer service life
• Plastic pallets are easy to clean and sanitize, a mandatory requirement for some industries and applications. This also keeps warehouses free of dust, moulds and splinters
• Safer for operators – plastic pallets do not contain metal nails or wooden splinters
• The same is true for the palletized goods – the smooth surface does not risk damaging products or packaging
• Plastic does not require a phytosanitary certificate for export – ISPM no 15
• Plastic pallets have a better aspect compared to wooden ones, especially after several trips. They can be cleaned and washed and are fit for display in retail
• Good looks and cleanliness are key factors in the automotive industry

Pallets are an all-round logistic solution, essential in automotive, food, production areas, transport, commerce, agriculture and more.

They are robust, resistant to intensive use, can be stacked in high stacks (space-saving and improved costs with return transport), produce less waste (both plastic and disposable) due to their long service life, enhance productivity due to their ergonomic design, are compatible with industrial washing machines or autoclaves.

Plastic pallets are compatible with semi-automated and automated handling:

• Hand pallet trucks, electric pallet trucks, forklifts
• Pallet dispensers
• Conveyor lines
• AGVs
• Pallet changers and forklift attachments to switch the base pallet (between wood and plastic or different dimensions)
• Lift platforms

Regardless of the model, they can be used with any injected plastic box or crate (stackable, stack & nest, nestable, foldable, VDA KLT, Galia Odette, stacking frames), boxes from EPP foam, with thermoformed trays, corrugated plastic boxes.

Like all the returnable packaging supplied by Logimarkt, the pallets from injected plastic are completely recyclable at the end of their service life, reduce carbon footprint and plastic waste.
