Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard size of a plastic pallet?
The most common standard sizes are 48″x40″ (GMA/US), 1200x800mm (EUR), 1100x1100mm (JIS/Asia), and 1165x1165mm (Australian). The right size depends on your region, industry, and racking system.
How much weight can a plastic pallet hold?
Plastic pallets typically support 1,000-1,500 kg dynamic load, 4,000-6,000 kg static load, and 500-1,000 kg racking load. Always check the manufacturer’s rated capacity for your specific model.
How long do plastic pallets last compared to wood pallets?
Quality plastic pallets last 5-10 years with proper maintenance, compared to 2-3 years for wood pallets. Despite higher upfront cost, plastic pallets offer lower total cost of ownership over their lifespan.
Are plastic pallets recyclable?
Yes, most plastic pallets are made from HDPE or PP which are 100% recyclable. At end of life, they can be ground and reprocessed into new products, supporting circular economy goals.
What’s better for warehousing: PP or HDPE pallets?
HDPE offers better impact resistance and cold-weather performance, while PP provides higher temperature tolerance and rigidity. For general warehousing, HDPE is usually preferred; for high-temperature environments, PP is better.
