Plastic Pallets on Reusable Transport Packaging
The pallet has come a long way since its introduction back in the early 1900's. This shipping platform, also know as a "skid", was first designed from wood and was comprised of 3 stringers and some top boards. Today most pallets on the market are still being made from wood, but there is an increasingly large number of pallets now being made from plastic, metal, blended materials that are available in countless configurations and footprints (pallet footprint consists of LxW). While the traditional standard in the US is the 40x48 pallet, lots of other sizes are now on the market and when needed, custom pallets can be fabricated or molded to meet a specific requirement.
Reusable Transport Packaging offers an extensive line of quality new & used pallets at the right price. We offer plastic pallets, metal pallets, custom pallets, specialty pallets and we are now offering used pallets as well. Whether you are interested in a one-way pallet or a heavy-duty pallet for your closed loop system we have the pallet for you. If you need a super heavy-duty pallet or have a concept for a pallet specific to your application we can make it!
Is a reusable pallet a good investment? If you have the ability to have your shipping pallets returned or if you are shipping to your distribution center or back and forth between plants then the dollars will make sense! Reusable Transport Packaging will help you calculate a cost analysis which will provide you with a cost-per-use of your current pallet vs a reusable pallet.
