Plastic Pallet

Capacity Definitions:

Fork - The maximum weight capacity that can be sustained by a pallet during transport on a forklift, a hand jack, or in a truck.

Floor - The maximum weight capacity that can be sustained by a fully supported pallet, i.e. one resting on the floor or stacked for a long period.

*Note: Capacities only apply when load is evenly distributed.

 

Manufacturing Process Definitions:



 


Structural Foam - Plastic and gas are injected into a mold. These materials combine to create a cellular core surrounded by a smooth outer skin. Offer high floor load capacity.




Single- or Twin-Sheet Thermoforming - A sheet or sheets of plastics are heated and then drawn by vacuum over a mold and then fused together through pressure to form a single, welded part. Offers high impact strength.



Solid-Wall Molding - Powered plastic is added to a closed cavity mold and the mold is rotated on all axis while heat is applied. The mold is then cooled. This produces a solid wall, hollow plastic part. Offers high-impact strength and long life.



Injection Molding - Plastic is injected, under pressure, into a mold. This process produces a solid wall, solid core part. Offers high durability.
