Maximizing Efficiency: The Advantages of Plastic Pallets in Material Handling

In the world of logistics and supply chain management which is growing at an exponential rate, efficient material handling is the top priority of the supplier. To revolutionize your material handling process plastic pallets have earned the place for enhancing it to the next level.

 

Here are some of the major benefits of using plastic pallets to streamline material handling process:- 

1. Durability and Longevity

Material handling efficiency is generally directly proportional to the size of load handled by plastic pallets. Being completely made out of High Density Polyethylene, pallets have low weight and rigid structure. The structure is resistant to chemical spilling. They are less likely to break or splinter during transit, reducing product damage. Durability of plastic pallets reduces the need for replacements and results in the cost saving in the long term.

2. Stackability

Plastic pallets come in different sizes, the same size of pallets can be stacked upon each other. This makes workers easier to handle and maneuver, reducing the strain on workers during loading, unloading, and transportation. The design of plastic pallets are made so that they can fit exactly within your storage racks, leaving minimal wasted space between pallets which saves the space in the warehouse.

3. Racking

The top of the plastic pallet has 2 types, grill top and smooth top. One key advantage of racking plastic pallets in material handling is their consistent size and weight. Plastic pallets are manufactured to precise specifications, ensuring uniformity. This consistency is crucial when using pallet racking systems, as it helps maximize storage space and ensures that pallets fit securely and uniformly on the racks. The plastic pallets used for racking are similar to export pallets, the only difference is that rackable plastic pallets have built-in grooves for them to sit securely on the racking shelves.

5. Safety

Warehouse injury is something many people ignore just because it happens on a frequent basis. Plastic Pallets are lightweight. It eases the burden on workers during manual handling, reducing the risk of injury. Fewer injuries and less machinery damage raise employee morale, reduce stress and hassle on the warehouse floor, and help your company save time and money.

6. Cost Effective 

Plastic pallets are lighter than any other pallets. The reduction in weight leads to lower transporting cost as it requires less fuel for transportation of goods.A lightweight plastic pallet can carry a heavy load of goods.
