With more and more companies choosing to replace traditional wooden pallets with plastic pallets, the popularity of plastic pallets is constantly improving. Compared with wooden pallets, plastic pallets have obvious competitive advantages, such as moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, insect resistance, fumigation free, and long service life, which are highly favored by enterprises in various fields. Let's take a closer look at the several advantages and features of plastic pallets.
Several advantages and characteristics of plastic pallets
1. Reliability: The reliability of plastic pallet structure greatly reduces the damage and consumption of pallets, as well as the damage of materials on pallets caused by pallet damage. Plastic pallets are lighter in weight than the same wooden pallets, thus reducing the weight and cost of transportation.
2. Durability: About three times longer than the lifespan of wooden pallets.
3. Hygiene: Plastic pallets can be cleaned and reused, and the US Department of Agriculture is promoting companies to use plastic pallets to carry products. And now the US Environmental Protection Agency has also realized that plastic pallets should be the preferred product for the US Department of Energy and the US Department of Defense.
4. Global trend: Plastic pallets are exempt from fumigation and inspection, and can be directly exported to countries such as Europe and America. With the increasing requirements for production conditions, storage conditions, process control, and quality management, plastic pallets have emerged and quickly gained a place due to the limitations that wooden pallets cannot overcome in terms of hygiene and standardized production. All exported food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals must be transported on plastic pallets.
5. Specialization: Plastic pallets will become increasingly popular in the specialty goods market, such as food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, and can be made into various colors according to the requirements of different factories, with corresponding company logos and markings, making it easy for enterprises to implement 5S management.
6. Environmental Protection: Plastic pallets are environmentally friendly products because they can be fully recycled and reused, greatly reducing waste and disposal costs. The use of plastic pallets can prevent the loss of thousands of acres of forest every year.
The widespread application of plastic pallets is an inevitable trend in the development of transportation. Standardized and regulated management of plastic pallets can greatly improve the storage and transportation efficiency of enterprises, while reducing cost losses and creating higher value for enterprises.
