Product Description
Traditional wooden pallets continue to serve as the structural basis for storage, loading, and transportation. However, innovative thinking led to the invention of the plastic pallet, which allows the same cargo to be transported with a minimal carbon footprint. A plastic pallet is a structure manufactured by high-pressure injection molding. It is a device that facilitates the movement of products from the manufacturing center to the final destination.
Reusable plastic pallets are made of plastic, which is suitable for dry and cold storage areas. It also has a sufficient capacity of 1000 lb., so it can carry a variety of heavy loads. It is very suitable for storing bulky goods, liquids, and dry goods. You can even use a forklift or pallet truck to move it in any one of the four sides to save time and increase convenience. Designed specifically for the end caps, the plastic pallet helps maximize storage space, and the sturdy base ensures safe storage. The most important thing is that the plastic pallet does not need to be assembled and can be used directly.
