Food Industry Plastic Pallets
Transport goods in food processing and other sanitary environments—these pallets are FDA compliant for direct food contact. You can store them in stacks for easy forklift access. Made of plastic, these pallets are exempt from ISPM 15 regulations and can be used for global shipping.
Pallets with a vented surface are a good choice for refrigeration and washdown applications—the gaps allow cool air to flow through and water to drain out.
Pallets with a solid surface work well for transporting irregularly shaped goods, since they distribute weight evenly. They give full surface support, preventing narrow or small items from slipping through the cracks.
Pallets that don’t require rack decking have bottom support beams or reinforced construction and can be stored directly on pallet rack beams. They’re also known as rackable pallets.
Pallets that require rack decking need a supporting deck surface when stored on a pallet rack.
40" × 48" pallets are the most common size in the U.S. 48" × 48" pallets are sized to hold four standard 55 gal. drums in a 2×2 grid.
