Poly pallets are a staple in industrial settings, and for good reason. They're durable and can withstand heavy use.
Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), poly pallets are resistant to cracks and breaks. This makes them ideal for applications where heavy loads are involved.
In fact, poly pallets can support loads of up to 4,000 pounds per pallet, making them a reliable choice for industrial use.

Types of Poly Pallets
Plastic pallets are light in weight and durable. They're a popular choice for many businesses due to their ease of use and safety.
One-piece designs are a type of poly pallet that's molded from a single piece of material with no welds. This design provides strength and cleanliness.
These types of pallets are particularly valuable for handlers who need to move unit loads around. They appreciate the uniform length and width of one-piece plastic pallets for ease of use.

Grip Paint or Silica Sand
Grip paint or silica sand can be used to create a fine, grainy texture on the top deck of a poly pallet, resulting in particularly good anti-slip properties.
This texture provides a safe and stable surface, even in wet or oily conditions.
A fine, grainy texture is achieved with these materials, which helps prevent slipping and falling.
This is especially useful in industries where pallets are frequently handled and moved around, such as in warehouses or factories.
Manufacturing and Quality

Our poly pallets are built to last, with a focus on durability and long life. We design them to work seamlessly with pallet trucks, pallet jacks, and forklifts, just like wood pallets.
We take pride in our high-density plastic pallets, which can support heavy loads and even transfer static loads like paperwork or baked goods. Euro pallets, in particular, are designed to handle tasks that wooden pallets can't.

Empty
Manufacturing processes often involve empty spaces, such as empty containers or packaging materials. These empty spaces can be a significant waste product.

The average manufacturing facility generates 10-20% of its total waste from empty packaging materials. This waste can be minimized through efficient packaging design and reuse strategies.
In the automotive industry, a study found that 15% of production costs are attributed to packaging and shipping empty containers. This highlights the importance of optimizing packaging to reduce waste.
Empty containers can also be a safety hazard if not handled properly. In the article, a factory worker was injured when an empty container fell on them due to improper storage.
Empty spaces can also be a source of contamination in manufacturing processes. In one case, a factory had to shut down production due to contamination from empty containers that were not properly cleaned.
Manufacturers can reduce empty space waste by implementing recycling programs and designing packaging with reuse in mind. This can lead to significant cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
