Plastic Pallets

Used Plastic Pallets come in a couple of varieties. For the most part, they are made from structural foam, but there are also thermoform pallets available. The structural foam pallets are more rigid and durable than the thermoform version. Usually, the more rigid plastic pallets are paired with an hdpe plastic returnable tote in order to create a plastic container pallet. This pairing works well, because structural foam plastic pallets typically have a shorter lip around the edge of the pallet, and the totes fit perfectly within the lip. To finish off the combination, a pallet cover is used to make the plastic container pallets stackable on each other. By comparison, when using plastic corrugated (typically a custom made tote), the thermoform pallet is a better choice, because it uses a much higher lip height. The higher lip height on the thermoform pallet catches tote edges easily.

Used Plastic Pallets can also be used as export pallets. Due to export pallet requirements, any wood pallets must be heat treated. By comparison, plastic pallets circumvent these requirements. The use of used plastic pallets for export purposes makes a lot of sense from a cost perspective, given that export pallets will rarely be returned to your company.
