What are good pallets?

Pallets are an essential part of your supply chain, which is why it’s important to make the right choice when it comes time to buy or rent new pallets. But what are good pallets? this blog we answer the question: 'What type of pallets in logistics should I choose?'

User-friendly plastic pallets

Pallets must be user-friendly and hygienic. That is why at HB RTS we opt for 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, our pallets meet the 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 also be used in production areas.

Sustainability and hygiene

Sustainability also plays an important role in your choice of pallets. Wooden pallets are seen as durable, but they actually break down fairly quickly. They also do not tolerate moisture very well, which makes their use very difficult in some industries because of the risk of mould or insects.

Plastic pallets have a long lifespan and are fully recyclable. They are also moisture-resistant and easy to clean. When you work with food, the hygiene of your pallets is of course crucial, and plastic pallets are very suitable.

HB RTS offers plastic pallets for rent and also takes care of the cleaning of plastic pallets if desired. All our laundries comply with the applicable HACCP and ISO standards and are situated at several locations.

Pallet boxes and tab pallets

In some industries, pallet boxes are the most efficient logistics solution for the transport of bulk products. We mainly rent out pallet boxes to companies dealing with heavy foodstuffs such as those in the meat processing, dairy and fresh produce, potato processing, and dairy raw materials industries. Depending on the quantity and weight of products to be transported, you can choose from low or high pallet boxes. For extra user-friendliness and hygiene, you can opt for a model with a lid.

Buy or rent plastic pallets?

Good pallets are durable, hygienic and user-friendly. Because buying these requires a high investment, renting is often a better option. With HB RTS, you can rent plastic pallets for the short or long term, and benefit from optimal flexibility during peak periods in your industry.
