Rackable plastic pallet

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 7/1/1998

These pallets are designed to meet or exceed existing standards for 40 by 48 in. edge-rackable Grocery Manufacturers Association wood pallets. They are automation-friendly, fully recyclable, and strong enough to hold heavy weights for extended periods without distorting or sagging. Made from structural foam molded, high density polyethylene, the block-style "Boss pallet" is 5 11/16 in. in height, and weighs approximately 57 lb. The unit is designed with an edge rack load capacity of 2800 lb, a dynamic load capacity of 5000 lb, and an advanced I-beam reinforcement system.

The pallet is reinforced using pultrusion technology adapted for this application to provide the durability and strength required for racking. Pultrusion imparts an extremely high stiffness to the pallet, nearing that of aluminum. This feature eliminates the risk of corrosion or contamination associated with steel reinforcement found in other plastic pallets.

The pallet's consistent size, weight, and durability make it fully compatible with advanced automation systems. The Boss has been performance-tested on conveyor, automatic storage and retrieval, and racking systems. Cookson Plastic Molding 518-783-3194
