Advantages of Plastic Pallets

• The flat top 48×40 plastic pallet operates just like a new wooden pallet. It can rack, stack, and hold up to 3,000 lbs. dynamic capacity.
• Plastic pallets are as cost effective as a new wooden pallet in most markets.
• Depending on handling, they are more durable than a wooden pallet.
• Given the flat top of the plastic pallet, the product will not be able to seep through top deck gaps.
• Because plastic pallets are so durable they allow us to offer a return program for the assets.
