Like New Plastic Pallets

A like-new plastic pallet has been in service but shows no structural wear: no cracks, no warping, runners and deck intact, only light scuffs or old labels. It should perform to the published ratings of its model, provided you can identify the model.

The difference from used grade is what inspection finds. A used plastic pallet can have chipped edges, gouged runners or slight warping that lower what it can safely carry, especially in racking. A like-new pallet has none of that, so it can go wherever a new pallet of the same model goes.

The practical check is the manufacturer and model marking molded or labeled on the pallet. With it, you can look up the static, dynamic and racked ratings. Without it, treat the racked capacity as unknown and keep the pallets on the floor.
