The Benefits Solid Plastic Pallets

Advantages of solid deck plastic pallets include:

• Non-porous, corrosion-resistant construction: Solid top plastic pallets consist of non-porous surfaces that do not trap moisture or contaminants, making them easy to clean and suitable for hygienic applications. They are also free of gaps between boards that can allow liquids from packages to leak and damage other goods.
• Safer handling: The lightweight design and construction promote a safer work environment. Their smooth surface prevents injuries compared to a wooden pallet's splinters, nails and screws. Since they tend to weigh less than wooden options, plastic pallets offer better ergonomics.
• Return on investment: For operations concerned about cost, solid plastic pallets offer the advantage of reusability. Plastic pallets have much longer lifespans than wooden pallets, resulting in a potentially higher ROI.
• Eco-friendliness: Most solid plastic pallets feature recyclable materials. Manufacturers create them from recycled plastic or virgin resin material that you can recycle at the end of their lifespan.
• Durability: Depending on its construction a plastic pallet can provide anywhere from 7-10 years of use. Solid plastic pallets tend to have fewer weak points in their design which helps reduce the risk of breakage.

Applications for Solid Deck Plastic Pallets

Our plastic solid deck pallets serve a wide range of uses across industries, including:

• Food, medical, pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing: Cherrys Industrial offers plastic pallets that have approval from the FDA and USDA for food processing and chemical handling. Their qualities make them ideal for food-safe applications that require cleanliness.
• Shipping and transportation: Due to their versatile designs, plastic pallets are a great option for export shipping. They comply with the ISPM 15 regulations and are great lightweight alternative for treated wood pallets.
• Warehousing and distribution: Product distributors make use of stackable plastic pallets in their everyday operations. A plastic pallet's design lends well to various warehouse applications and demands such as product storage on floors or racks, load transfers, washing and rinsing, and so on.
• Retail: Some retail stores use plastic pallets to efficiently create in-store displays. They are also used to keep product off of the ground to prevent damage.

Thanks to their cleanliness, durability and safety, solid deck pallets suit a variety of applications. To learn more about how our pallets could work for your industry, call our team at 224-328-1270.
