Well, the ‘right’ pallet that you might be after, depends greatly on what industry your business operates in. Whether you are in manufacturing, retail, pharmaceuticals or logistics, choosing the correct pallet can impact the efficiency of your business operations.
Logistics Industry
The logistics industry requires pallets that are strong and durable. With the ability to carry heavy loads of up to 1500kg, timber pallets have robust, reinforced properties. These give businesses in the logistics sector the ability to easily transport goods with the use of timber pallets. With that being said, wooden pallets are the most common kind of pallets required by customers in this industry and are suitable for a majority of businesses looking to transport a larger number of goods.
Manufactured custom wooden pallets also provide great benefits to businesses in the logistics industry, allowing tailored security & protection for shipping specialised, unique goods.
Manufacturing Industry
Similar to the logistics industry, players in the manufacturing industry require wooden pallets that are durable and strong, capable of withstanding the heavy loads that are common in the sector. As wooden pallets are also recyclable, this can save businesses money in the long run by giving them the ability to reuse the pallets after delivery of a product. For this industry, most plastic pallets simply do not hold the appropriate properties to transport goods made in the manufacturing industry. This of course is dependent on exactly what the product is.
Retail Industry
Being such a broad industry, where goods of all ranges of sizes are transported – both plastic pallets and wooden pallets are suitable for players in this sector, depending of course on the goods being moved. While the pallets most commonly used in the industry are wooden pallets as they offer the largest weight capacity for goods, plastic pallets are also another viable option as they are light weight and less likely to break, making them a suitable option for transportation. As the majority of products come in boxes, they can be easily stacked onto a wooden pallets allowing more items to be transported at any one time due to the heavy load capabilities of the timber pallets.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Plastic pallets are resistant to major detrimental factors that can affect the transportation of goods in the pharmaceutical industry – such as moisture, pests, chemicals etc. Keeping this in mind, plastic pallets are a great way for businesses in this industry to transport goods whilst maintaining regulated hygiene standards and keeping products protected during the logistical process.

Both of these sectors have strict hygiene standards due to their properties, making it crucial in ensuring that the way they are transported is safe from harmful factors such as moisture, pests, chemicals etc. Plastic pallets are light weight yet durable, making them an effective way to carry goods for businesses in the industry.
