What are good pallets?

Pallets are an essential part of your logistics flow, which is why it is important to make the right choice when it is time to buy or rent new pallets. In this blog, we answer the question: "What are good pallets?"

User-friendly pallets

Pallets must be user-friendly and hygienic. That is why we at HB RTS choose plastic pallets. These are easy to clean, very sturdy, and can be moved by hand without the risk of splinters and tears in work clothing. This increases safety and comfort in the workplace. In addition, the pallets comply with standard European dimensions and can be used with all types of packaging and lifting equipment. An important feature is that they are hygienic and can therefore also be used in production areas.

Sustainability and hygiene

Sustainability also plays an important role in choosing your pallets. Wooden pallets are considered sustainable, but they break down fairly quickly. They are also susceptible to moisture, which makes them difficult to use in some industries due to the risk of mold.

Plastic pallets have a long service life and are fully recyclable. They are also moisture-resistant and easy to clean. When working with foodstuffs, the hygiene of your pallets is obviously crucial, and plastic pallets are ideal for this purpose.

HB RTS offers plastic pallets for rent, but can also clean plastic pallets if desired. All our washing facilities comply with the applicable HACCP and ISO standards and are located at multiple sites.

Pallet boxes and tab pallets

In some industries, pallet boxes are the most efficient logistics solution for transporting bulk products. We mainly rent pallet boxes to companies in the meat processing industry, dairy, and fruit and vegetable sectors, for products such as potatoes, dairy raw materials, meat, and other heavy foodstuffs. Depending on the quantity and weight you want to transport, you can choose between low or high pallet boxes. For extra user-friendliness and hygiene, you can opt for a model with a lid.

Buy or rent pallets?

Good pallets are therefore durable, hygienic, and user-friendly. Because purchasing them requires a significant investment, renting is often a better option. At HB RTS, you can rent plastic pallets for the short or long term and enjoy optimal flexibility during peak periods in your industry.
