Plastic pallets are modern and durable goods carriers that are becoming increasingly popular in logistics and warehousing. They are primarily used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, but also in any other industry where the highest standards of hygiene are important. They are lightweight, moisture-resistant and easy to keep clean, making them an excellent alternative to wooden pallets. In addition, they are safer, take up less space and are still suitable for transporting heavy loads.
Unlike traditional wooden pallets, plastic pallets are more durable and can be reused multiple times. At the end of their life cycle, they are 100% recyclable, supporting companies’ environmental initiatives.
Plastic pallets can be categorised primarily according to their dimensions, construction and specific applications.
