Modern Plastic Pallets – Types, Applications and Benefits
Plastic pallets come in several variants that differ in construction and application. Open-deck pallets have a light, perforated structure that promotes air circulation. Solid-deck pallets have a continuous surface without openings, increasing load stability. Hygienic pallets are easy to clean and meet high sanitary standards.
Open-deck and Solid-deck Pallets
Open-deck pallets are ideal for the food and pharmaceutical sectors, where adequate ventilation is crucial. Solid-deck pallets are perfect for transporting heavy or delicate goods.
Hygienic Pallets
Hygienic pallets are specialised plastic pallets designed to meet strict sanitary standards. They are made from materials resistant to chemicals, allowing easy cleaning and disinfection.
Half Pallets and Quarter Pallets
Half pallets and quarter pallets are compact versions of the standard pallet, ideal for smaller loads and storage space optimisation. They are growing in popularity in the retail sector.
