Pallet types are almost as varied as pallet sizes, as illustrated by 1001Pallets:
When choosing which pallet best fits the needs of your company, it is critical that you consider the pallet performance requirements needed, such as strength, stiffness and durability. Simply put, strength is a measure of a pallet’s breaking capacity. Stiffness is how much bend a pallet gives under load. And durability measures how long a pallet is expected to last when subjected to normal wear and tear.
Choosing a the right pallet is crucial to avoiding accidents, reducing shipping costs and ensuring smooth transport of your products.
