Description:

A steel pallet is a small, low, portable steel platform on which goods are placed for storage  
or moving, as in a warehouse or vehicle. Steel pallets are strong and are used for heavy  
loads, high-stacking loads, long term dry storage, and loads moved by abusive logistic  
systems. They are often used for military ammunition. Our carbon steel pallets offer  
excellent durability at the lowest cost. Long term costs can be lower than other materials.  
High strength and stiffness, excellent durability, bug free, no splinters, sanitary, and  
recyclable. Primary industries that use metal pallets include automotive, pharmaceutical,  
lawn tractors, motorcycles, and tires.

About Pallet Size:

Even though we live in an increasingly global community, most of our pallet sizes are still different
for different regions of the world. For example, the 800 x 1200 EuroPallet, a standard size
throughout Western Europe for 50 years, is a rare size in the rest of the world. There are trends,
however, towards domestic and global pallet size standardization. In the 60’s and 70’s, the US
grocery industry began conversion towards the 48x40” standard footprint, and today this size is
not only standard in the grocery industry, but in many other industries as well. In 2002 the EIPS
Computer Industry Pallet Task Group recommended the 1200 x 1000 mm size as its primary
global footprint (the 800x1200 is also included). This size was selected due to its metric
dimensions, current recognition in ISO, the ability to efficiently fill most transport vehicles, and
similarity in size to the 48x40-inch US footprint. Previously, this industry worked with dozens
of pallet sizes and designs. It is expected that in the future, new computer industry warehouses,
distribution centers, and shipping practices will be aligned with the standard. Imagine the
efficiencies that will result for this industry over the coming decade. It is expected that these
efforts will continue in other industries due to the wholesale long term benefits throughout supply
chains that result from standardization.
