Pallets can be purchased in a variety of different materials. They have come a long way since the days of simple wooden pallets.

Pallets come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials including plastic, but for some, aluminium pallets are the best of the bunch.

Aluminium pallets are usually used for storing and transporting heavy goods by air or sea, and they are particularly used by businesses that store goods outdoors.

This type of pallet is also popular for using in walk in fridges and freezers. The most popular metal pallet is an aluminum pallet, as they are strong and hygienic.

The benefits of aluminum pallets

There are many different reasons why businesses prefer and purchase aluminum pallets. We have listed seven of these below:

• Superior strength compared to plastic and wooden pallets

• Will not rot or decay during poor weather conditions

• Not susceptible to pests unlike wooden pallets

• Will not splinter or crack easily

• Environmentally friendly as they are recyclable

• Suitable for food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries as they are easy to clean

• Long-lasting

With any product there is some downsides and the aluminum palletis the same. If you are transporting a lot of products, you may find that your costs will increase, as aluminum palletsare significantly heavier than other types of pallets.

With this in mind, you may also find that moving these pallets from A to B will be more labour intensive. They may also slow down how quickly you can load and unload your stock.However for you, like a lot of others, the pros may outweigh the cons.

Taking your business into consideration

The individual circumstances of your business will be what the final decision ultimately boils down to when deciding which pallets you should purchase.

Once purchased, an aluminum pallet requires little in the way of maintenance and can stand many years of transporting, even in extreme weather conditions.

Investing in metal pallets is a smart business move as, while you may have to pay more initially, they are cost-effective in the long-run as you do not have to replace on a regular basis.
