Loading and unloading of heavyweight goods is impossible to imagine without sturdy pallets supporting their weight. While pallets are available in various materials, including plastic and wood, metal pallets are often considered the most ideal by warehouses for several reasons. If you are planning to buy pallets for handling heavy-duty products and are unsure of the type of pallet to go for, here are some reasons you should consider metal pallets:
-
Resilient to extreme weather conditions
Even though one may store pallets in a cool, dry spot inside warehouses, they may have to be exposed to extreme weather conditions when in transit, i.e., when goods are being transported across long distances. In these cases, pallets made of wood or compressed wood materials may sometimes attract fungus and accumulate lots of dust, nails or splinters may come out and may harm users. But treated metal pallets are sturdy and resilient to extreme weather, so they can be easily transported even to places with extremely hot or cold weather conditions. Also, they may be stored in cold storage facilities without the fear of getting rusted.
-
Durable & Light weight
Metal pallets last long because metal does not break or get damaged easily. Moreover, these pallets are not vulnerable to mold and mildew formation. As a result, they are well-protected and highly durable, making them an excellent long-term investment for warehouses. Nilkamal’s Modular pallets are light in weight due to its unique structure and state of art construction, which can take heavy loads with ease with lighter in weight, hence cost saving.
-
Easily cleanable
Since metal pallets do not collect much dust and dirt, they can be cleaned very easily. Also, even if the pallet comes in contact with some moisture, it does not get damaged. Therefore, warehouses can ensure that proper hygiene is maintained at all times, even when plastic crates with perishable goods are placed on the pallet.
-
Low cost of operation
Metal pallets entail low operation costs because they are sturdy and not subject to wear and tear while in transit. Therefore, even the insurance charges for shipping the product are very low, making them cost effective in the long run. Also, we can customize the pallets as per our customers’ requirements, increasing the pallets’ cost effectiveness.
Metal pallets may be used in a wide range of industries to store and transport bulky products with ease.
