Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do plastic pallets come in?

The standard is 48" x 40", matching the wood GMA footprint, at 20 to 55 lbs depending on whether it is nestable or rackable. The 48" x 48" square pallet (35 to 55 lbs) is used for drums and chemicals, and the 24" x 40" half pallet weighs 8 to 15 lbs.

How much weight can a plastic pallet hold?

Ratings vary by model, so use the manufacturer's figure for the pallet in the listing, and derate a used pallet 10 to 20 percent, more in racking or if it shows cracks. Nestable pallets run about 1,500 to 2,500 lbs dynamic and up to 10,000 lbs static. Stackable pallets run 2,500 to 5,000 lbs dynamic and up to 20,000 lbs static. Rackable pallets carry 1,500 to 2,800 lbs unsupported in a rack and up to 30,000 lbs static; loading a lower-rated model to the top of its range in beam racking risks deflection or failure.

What is the difference between nestable, stackable, and rackable?

Nestable pallets have legs that nest into each other so empties take about a third of the space, which suits one-way and export shipping. Stackable pallets have a flat bottom deck for block stacking. Rackable pallets have steel or reinforced runners so they can span a pallet-rack beam at the model's racked rating, up to 2,800 lbs.

Do plastic pallets need ISPM-15 heat treatment for export?

No. ISPM-15 applies to solid wood packaging only, so plastic pallets ship internationally without a stamp, which is the main reason exporters buy them.

How many plastic pallets fit on a truck?

About 520 per 53-foot dry van for a standard 48" x 40" pallet loaded like wood, and nestable designs fit up to 3 times more empties per truck because the stack height per pallet is so much lower.
