Used Plastic Pallet

Top 7 Things to Know about Used Plastic Pallets

Here’s some useful information about used plastic pallets available on the market today:

  1. Variety
    There is a great assortment of used plastic pallets available. They come in popular sizes, various strengths, styles and colors. The Nelson Company stocks used plastic pallets in several locations around the country.

  2. Cost
    The cost of a used plastic pallet can be half the cost of a comparable new plastic pallet and it will perform in the same manner.

  3. History
    The majority of used plastic pallets carry goods into the US. They are generally used 1 time, they are clean and they are in great shape.

  4. Export
    As ISPM-15 Import/Export regulations continue to stiffen, the quantity of used plastic pallets will continue to grow.
      
  5. Durability
    Used plastic pallets from The Nelson Company are fully-functional and structurally sound. All of our used plastic pallets are sorted to specific and strict standards to ensure that they will perform as well as new plastic pallets.

  6. Availability
    The most readily available size of used plastic pallets are 43.5 x 43.5 (or 1100 x 1100). These used square plastic pallets are perfect for use in export shipping via containers. The second most readily available size are the 48 x 40 used plastic pallets (or 1200 x 1000).

  7. Material
    Most of the used plastic pallets available are made from good quality plastic resin.
