Made of corrugated material with a cellular construction, Saddle-Pak lightweight void fillers store flat and expand to fill side spaces. Reusable and recyclable, fillers can be customized with a smaller or larger cell size. The void fillers can secure single pallet units in the center of any transportation vehicle or on double stacked loads. ...more

Flow-Through Pallet
The Flow-Through Pallet will help users of the Stanley Vidmar Hazmat STAK system get more coverage from their fire sprinklers. An alternative to the standard, solid pallet, the Flow-Through Pallet uses an open grate design. If there's a fire, the grate lets water from overhead sprinklers flow down through the upper level pallets to those below. Where local codes permit, this gives users the option of installing one set of overhead sprinklers, rather than installing sprinkler heads at every level. Vidmar Flow-Through Pallets are available in all standard STAK sizes. Each can support a 2000-lb. load, the same as the solid pallets....more

PDQ PLASTICS INC.
As early as 1969, the founders of PDQ PLASTICS INC. recognized the potential cost savings and operational advantages of a "permanent" plastic pallet. The company introduced a plastic pallet into the marketplace (computer designed) that had an initial cost ten times that of a wooden pallet, and substantially more than other plastic pallets that were being introduced at about the same time. This was a tough business choice, but one that was based on the rock-solid notion that a pallet should be manufactured to engender the design elements specifically intended to reduce the users cost per trip. And this was 33 years ago....more
