Why choose plastic pallets over wooden pallets?

Wooden pallets are commonly used pallets in the manufacturing and logistics industries. As they are well known for being one of the cheapest alternatives in terms of reusability and repair over their lifespan. However, wooden pallets break easily and are heavy, this means that they need to be maintained or replaced regularly. In addition, wooden pallets are difficult to clean due to their irregular surface and if they were to be disposed it would pose a high risk of infestation and contamination when damp. Plastic pallets are the fastest growing alternative to wood. This is due to the reasons listed below.

1.Durable sustainability

Plastic pallets are more durable than wooden pallets because they are less likely to break down on repeated journeys. Plastic pallets are perfect for transporting heavy cargo in a warehouse during shipping and moving around via forklift. In addition, relative to wooden pallets, they are more capable of resisting weather elements in between transport.

2.Cost-effective

As plastic is lighter compared to wood, the freight rates an organization would be saving by using lighter pallets would be tremendous. The great advantage of plastic pallets over wooden pallets is their nesting ability saving valuable storage space. While plastic pallets often have higher initial costs, the cost per trip of plastic pallets is often significantly lower due to their durability.

3.Safer for everyone

Plastic pallets do not have weak spots at their points unlike wood due to the way they are constructed; in one solid piece. This results in lower risks of units failing under a heavy load. Opting plastic pallets over wooden pallets removes nails, splinters and broken boards. This ensures that your valuables are less likely to be harmed and that your workers have a better working atmosphere.

4.Environmentally friendly

Plastic pallets are more environmentally friendly compared to wooden pallets. As choosing plastic pallets over wooden reduces deforestation. Plastic pallets made of recycled plastic will help support a circular plastic economy where waste is minimized rather than generated.

5.Hygienic

Since plastic pallets do not absorb moisture, there is no longer a question about common problems with wooden pallets such as fumigation, rot, infestation and odour absorption. In comparison to other types of pallets, plastic pallets are typically composed of one continuous piece. The smooth surface of plastic pallets can therefore be washed quickly and thoroughly. Plastic pallets are suitable for businesses with regulatory and hygiene criteria such as food and beverage and pharmaceuticals.

Takeaway: Although plastic pallets offer numerous benefits over wooden pallets, the choice to use either ultimately depends on the purpose of the pallet. If the pallet is used to ship goods overseas with a low chance of a return, the lightest and lowest cost alternative would be ideal. If the intention of the pallet, however, is to be reused for several trips to the same stores or in your warehouse, a more affordable option is a robust substitute.
