How are Plastic Pallets Made?

Pallets have gone from a cool invention to an essential part of the logistics industry. A flat structure that makes it easy to load products onto and then move, and move again, over and over. They might be moved by forklift or front loader or other mechanical means. For years most of them have been made from wood, but plastic pallets are swiftly taking over. So, how are plastic pallets made?
Plastic pallets can be made from a variety of different plastics, all which have different properties, such as strength or impact resistance. Some of them come in pellet form to be melted down at the manufacturing facility. Some pallets are made from other consumer plastic products that have been recycled to be turned back into usable products. That material is cleaned, tested, put in a grinder, and then melted back into a resin.

Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene (PP) is the most common plastic used to make plastic pallets. This type of plastic is very durable, with impact and tensile strength. Durability is an important feature as the longer life it has, the more trips it can make, the better the overall cost for the shipper and, ultimately, the consumer. PP is great for closed-loop or in-house applications, where pallets are expected to be used often and last for several years.

High density polyethylene (HDPE)

This type of plastic is also popular and while it is similar to PP, this type of plastic turns out to be a harder and more rigid plastic. Also, it can handle higher temperatures than PP. These pallets are used where there is a need to hold higher weights or where there are hygienic regulations.

HDPE and PP BLEND

This blend takes the best properties from both types of plastic. It is common to see pallets made from blended recycled materials, and usually results in a product that is reasonably priced. A pallet made from this blend is very rigid, yet durable.

Advanced composite material

This is the least expensive type of plastic that is used to make plastic pallets. The material is 100% recycled and comes from a mixture of post-industrial scrap, forming into an inexpensive but relatively durable plastic resin. It does not hold up for as many trips as other pallets due to its strength.

 

Product advantages and characteristics
 
Advantages of Plastic Pallet

There has been a significant increase in the popularity of plastic pallets over the last few years. Customers are trying them out and liking what they find. Not only are they durable and able to stand the rigours of the supply chain, they also save on space.
There are many further advantages of plastic pallet boxes that are making them an attractive alternative to wooden pallets for many customers. Here are a few of those advantages so you can see why so many customers are now choosing them.

Safeguarding the environment

It may seem strange that a plastic product can be good for the environment, but pallets are a special case. One of the main advantages of plastic pallet boxes is that they are designed to be used over and over again.

Ease of transport

Another of the key advantages of plastic pallet boxes is that they are specifically designed for transporting particular goods. This makes them very good at preventing damage to consignments and maintaining quality.When it comes to moving them around, they are very well designed. There are fork entries in the pallet box, so they are superbly easy to load and unload safely.

Durability and maintenance free

No one has the time or money to spend on maintaining pallets, so plastic is the ideal material. It does not scratch or break easily. It is non-absorbent, and this makes it very easy to keep clean. All you have to do is spray it with water and let it dry naturally.The high density polyethylene used to make pallet boxes is very resistant to damage and weather and does not break down. This means that the pallets can be used many times before they are replaced.

Cleanliness and hygiene

One of the main advantages of plastic pallet boxes is that they do not rust and do not attract microorganisms or parasites, which makes them the ideal hygienic choice. They are much less likely to contaminate the consignment.

Take up little space

Space can be at a premium in the supply chain, and plastic pallet boxes can be tightly stacked, which saves room on storage and transport. This has the effect of lowering transportation costs, yet the product quality is maintained.

Safe to use

Plastic pallet boxes have been ergonomically designed. They are easier for operatives to move around and therefore comply with manual handling guidelines. When they are being stacked or loaded, they are less likely to cause injury.
We all know that improved safety is accompanied by increased productivity, so they can save you money as well.

Full perimeter plastic pallets

Available on five or six runners, full perimeter plastic pallets are great in racking or pool applications. They are the universal choice for pallet loops and perfect when maximum strength is needed.

Non perimeter plastic pallets

Available on three runners, Non-perimeter plastic pallets are perfect for use with pallet tracks and where mechanical handling systems are employed. Ideal for general use.

FAQ
 

 

Q: What are the advantages of plastic pallets?

A: Plastic pallets are lighter, and that's an advantage, but they also have a smooth, slippery surface that makes them nearly impossible to stack more than a few high. That makes storage of these reusable pallets a real pain in the neck.

Q: Can you use plastic pallets?

A: Plastic models are durable and can be re-used. They are also easy to clean, making them suitable for more hygienic requirements, including the food and pharmaceutical industries. Plastic pallets can be made from recycled components and can also be recycled themselves when no longer needed.

Q: What are pallets made out of plastic?

A: Polypropylene is the most common plastic used to make plastic pallets. This type of plastic is very durable, with impact and tensile strength.

Q: Are plastic pallets strong?

A: Plastic pallets are stronger than wood, sometimes vastly stronger.

Q: How long do plastic pallets last?

A: In general, a plastic pallet can last 8 to 10 years. This more than twice as long as wooden pallets. Plastic pallets can withstand more wear and tear compared to their wooden counterparts, with plastic being stronger and more durable. Partnered with the right protection, plastic pallets can be used again and again.

Q: How many times can a plastic pallet be reused?

A: Plastic pallets can be reused between 50 to 200 times before they need to be recycled or disposed of. The lifespan of a plastic pallet depends on several factors, such as the type of plastic used and the maintenance it receives.

Q: What are plastic pallets good for?

A: The short answer is that plastic pallets are used for shipping every product that wood pallets ship. However, plastic pallets are particularly competitive over wood pallets when the product being shipped is food, pharmaceuticals, or another item that is particularly vulnerable to contamination, damage, or spoilage.

Q: Do plastic pallets need to be fumigated?

A: One of the biggest advantages of plastic pallets is that they do not need to be fumigated. While parasites and other nasty creatures can often survive in wooden pallets, vermin cannot live on plastic in the same way. So, for freight where hygiene is an especial concern, plastic pallets are a fantastic choice.

Q: Do plastic pallets rot?

A: Plastic pallets are not porous, making them immune to the damage moisture can cause, such as mold and rot. Wood pallets are on average about 27 pounds heavier than plastic counterparts. As a result, employees may have more difficulty lifting and moving them, resulting in rough handling that may damage the pallets.

Q: Where can I use plastic pallets?

A: Hygienic plastic pallets are perfect for handling and storing food products and pharmaceuticals. Their smooth surfaces make them easy to clean, whilst being non porous, they don't accumulate dirt and other substances which could lead to contamination of germs and bacteria.

Q: Do plastic pallets burn?

A: Most standard facility fire control systems are incapable of handling the fire and heat generated by a high stack of plastic pallets. Stacking pallets outdoors against or near the side of a building creates an increased fire hazard, as storage yards are not usually protected by sprinkler systems.

Q: How do you handle plastic pallets?

A: With plastic pallets, use blunt-end or tapered forks. Sharp forklift forks can damage plastic pallets. Avoid dropping plastic pallets.

Q: How do you clean plastic pallets?

A: High pressure washers along with an all-purpose soap can be useful to sanitize plastic pallets.

Q: How high can plastic pallets be stacked?

A: Stacks should not exceed 15' high or be greater than 400 sq. Ft. However, the most definitive direction you may find for pallet stacking will likely come from your insurance carrier and their concern for potential fire hazard.

Q: How many plastic pallets fit on a truck?

A: Both 53-foot vans and 48-foot vans are commonly used in truck shipping. So, in a 53-foot van, around 26 single-stacked pallets will fit, or 52 double-stacked pallets. On the other hand, in a 48-foot truck, around 24 single stacked pallets and 48 double-stacked pallets will fit.

Q: What happens to plastic pallets?

A: Those that cannot be put back into circulation because of damage are cut up and sent to a plastic recycling company. Here they will be shredded, melted and then extruded for use in new plastic products.

Q: What can I do with black plastic pallets?

A: Plastic pallets are highly reusable and recyclable.

Q: Are plastic pallets stronger than wood?

A: Plastic pallets are ideal for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries because they are resistant to moisture, bacteria, and other contaminants.

Q: Are plastic pallets food grade?

A: Plastic pallets not only meet food grade pallet standards, they exceed them. Plastic has a non-porous surface that can be more easily cleaned and sanitized between loads than wood pallets.
