Benefits of Metal Pallets Compared To Plastic Pallets

by James Page

In the last few months, Ohio based company Compliance Packaging International Ltd. published a new website highlighting heavy duty 48 x 40 metal pallets that out perform plastic pallets in several key ways.

Our metal pallets offer better long term savings than other metal pallets and plastic pallets because of their affordability and durability. Companies in a wide variety of industries that desire the lowest cost per trip over time have tested and discovered our metal pallets are less expensive than plastic pallets.

Beyond cost savings, companies around the world enjoy the sanitary, sustainability and safety advantages of the metal pallets over plastic pallets.

Metal pallets can be cleaned and disinfected more easily than plastic pallets, and can also be made more bacteria resistant.

While the metal pallet is not flammable and cannot be ignited in a fire, the plastic pallet creates a serious fire danger in warehouses especially when concentrated in large numbers.

Plastic pallets are also less durable than metal pallets, collapse under weight quicker and are less sturdy when stacked. A related benefit of metal pallets is having fewer injuries in the workplace from broken pallets.

Unlike plastic pallets that are not repairable when cracked or broken, metal pallets are easily repairable for longer use.

Plastic pallets also afford less protection during shipping compared with metal pallets. Our metal pallets are rated to carry static loads of up to 40000 pounds and dynamic load up to 10000 pounds greatly exceeding the capacity of most plastic pallets on the world market place.

Moreover, the metal 48 x 40 distribution pallet can carry as much as 3500 pounds in an open edge racking systems. However, most plastic pallets only can hold 2200 pounds in an open racking system.

Finally, companies that wish to minimize their impact on the environment will be delighted to learn that many studies have shown that recycled metal pallets return more energy and have a higher scrap value than recycled plastic pallets.
