Can Lightweight Plastic Pallets handle the stress of international shipping

With the transit of items across boundaries of countries, the pallets need to be sturdy and durable. Lightweight plastic pallets are popular with many companies, which prefer them because they are easy to move about and not damaged by water or pests. But can these lighter pallets stand up to the demands of international shipping? That’s a big question. NEXARA has worked extensively with plastic pallets and understands what it takes to keep cargo safe over an extended voyage by land, sea or air. But let’s unpack what makes lightweight plastic pallets unique and whether they hold their own under the kind of heavy lifting required

Will a Durable Light Weight Plastic Pallet Be Good For International Shipping

Lightweight plastic pallets can get a bad reputation, as the perception of many is that lighter means weaker. But that isn’t always true. At NEXARA we engineer pallets with a careful balance between weight and strength. Picture a pallet that is lighter yet can bear heavy boxes stacked high without cracking or bending. That’s the goal. And when products travel long distances, pallets are subjected to bumps, drops and potentially the weight of other cargo that has been stacked on top. The material of these pallets is the key. NEXARA employs durable plastics that will flex slightly under load but are difficult to break. This flex also acts to attenuate shocks that occur during handling and in-transit. Occasionally, folks express concern about plastics becoming brittle in the cold or heat. We test pallets at various temperatures to ensure they don’t fail when it’s freezing or blazing hot in shipping containers. The shape of the pallet is also going to help spread weight. A good pallet distributes the load uniformly to prevent overloading any one part. NEXARA's ‘holy pallets’ are lightweight plastic but reinforced with custom ribbing and support beams to do just this. You might think metal or heavy wood is superior, but those can rust, rot or simply be too heavy to transport with speed. Plastic pallets that are lightweight have no such issues, which makes them an intelligent solution for long trips. However, not all plastic pallets are created equally. Some of the cheap ones crack after a few trips. That’s why NEXARA is committed to quality from the very beginning all the way through, using strong plastics and savvy design. That means the pallets can be used again and again, saving money and cutting down on waste. The trouble with international shipping is customs and regulations. There are some standards pallets must meet so that shipments don’t get held up. So, let’s start with plastic pallets Our lightweight plastic pool pallets adhere to these regulations, all round the world, so your goods never stand still. So yes, lightweight plastic pallets can withstand the rough ride of international shipping, but only if they are manufactured with care and this tested well and designed right. Nothing to it!” We do this at NEXARA every day

How Well do Wholesale Plastic Pallets Hold up Under Rough Shipping Conditions

Companies that ship massive quantities of goods in fact usually purchase plastic pallets wholesale. These wholesale pallets must be durable enough to support large weights and plenty of use. At NEXARA, we realize that Each and Every pallet in a load is a risk. One broken pallet can mean delays, or damage. So, durability is key. Plastic pallets from wholesale distributors are not always consistent in quality. Some may be attractive but won’t stand up long being stacked or dropped. We’ve all experienced it–second-class pallets warping after only a few rounds. That’s frustrating and costly. NEXARA’s cheap plastic pallets undergo stringent testing based on international standards before leaving the factory. For instance, we test how dropping pallets from the height of a forklift, or stacking them with heavy loads, will turn out. We demonstrate in practice that when placed under strain, the right plastic mix and pallet design really do make all the difference. Yet another consideration is that the pallet must be able to withstand moisture and chemicals during shipping. Wood pallets soak up moisture and may become moldy or rot away. Plastic pallets won't absorb moisture and are resistant to most chemicals, so you needn't worry about your goods. This is especially critical for food or medicine deliveries. Shipping containers, however, may be overcrowded. Pallets should fit properly and not slip or slide during transit. NEXARA’s pallets are of uniform dimensions and smooth surfaces that makes it easier for the workers to stack & move pallets conveniently. Speed of maneuvering can be especially important in crowded ship traffic hubs. Lightweight pallets that are easy to maneuver save time and lower the risk of injury for workers. But they still have to withstand the weight of heavy freight. Our pallets fit that sweet spot perfectly. Some folks are concerned about the price of plastic pallets when purchasing them in bulk. Though they may be more expensive at first than wood, their longer life and fewer damages often mean that money is saved in the long run. Plastic pallets are long lasting, so you don't have to replace them as often with NEXARA pallets. We also hear from customers that reusing pallets reduces waste and benefits the environment. That’s a huge plus for companies that want to be responsible. In brief, wholesale plastic pallets get a hard job done and if they are well built. The experience of NEXARA has been that when pallets are capable of handling strains they do not collapse, and when they can take knocks they don’t fall apart, resulting in safer and easier shipping for everyone
