Since
its invention, pallet rack has undergone
many changes and improvements. Today we have pallet rack that
can support a wide range of warehouse environments. Pallets,
on the other hand, are basically the same as they’ve
been for the last century. Pallets were first made of wood,
and today, almost all pallets—93 percent—are still
made from wood. Considering the other materials available
to manufacture pallets, it is interesting that wood is still,
by far, deemed the best choice. According to the National
Wooden Pallet and Container Association, these are the reasons
why more than 90 percent of pallets are still made with wood:
-
Wood can easily be repaired, reused, and recycled.
-
Wood is strong and durable.
-
Wood is the least expensive material to use for pallet manufacturing.
-
The wood used to make wooden pallets is scrap wood of low
cosmetic value—it would probably be discarded anyway.
-
Wood is biodegradable.
-
Since they are easy to recycle, less than 3 percent of wooden
pallets wind up in landfills.
