It's Summer... Take Your Plastic Pallet to the Beach!

Happy Fourth of July. With your summer vacation plans in full effect, consider this... Have you ever needed a way to move all your beach supplies out to the beach?

Your chairs, buckets, shovels, towels, umbrella and boogie boards can be a lot to carry. Nelson Company's creative customer, Tom Pickett, invented an amazing beach cart out of a plastic pallet.

This plastic pallet turned beach cart is a creative way to move your gear across the sand.

We've all seen interesting projects where people reuse wood pallets. But we think this one made from a plastic pallet takes the cake.

Recently, Tom came to the Nelson Company with a plan to construct a beach cart. You see, Tom and his family have a beach house just a few blocks off the beach. He found that normal carts do not travel well across sand nor do they hold all of the family's beach supplies.

Tom even created a similar cart last summer, but found that the deck did not hold up. That’s when he got the idea to use a plastic pallet.

The strength, size and material of the plastic pallet deck served his design perfectly.

Using furniture grade PVC piping and the plastic pallet, Tom created a one-of-a-kind beach cart.

We love when customers come up with creative ideas for using plastic pallets! What could you create using a plastic pallet? Let us know by commenting below.
