Vacuum Formed Pallet    
The procurement of plastic pallets created through thermoforming design improves product safety at all points on the supply chain. Sturdier containers that maintain their integrity in adverse conditions have supplanted wooden crates and pallets. The thermoforming design and production process gives plastic pallets the characteristics needed for different shipping requirements.

Replace Wooden Pallets with Plastic Thermoforming Design
The average wooden crate is assembled with a mixture of nails and adhesive that can fall apart in poor weather. Plastic containers typically contain no adhesive or nails, so rust and adhesive failure is not a problem. 

Warehouse workers can test the difference between wooden and plastic pallets with a pair of heavy boxes. The wooden pallet yields to a heavy box, which has a reasonable opportunity to break through the pallet's planks. Plastic pallets built using quality thermoforming design have engineered features that prevent bowing under heavy weight.

Many farmers and grocers are turning to thermoforming design for perishable shipments. The packaging and materials used in wooden pallets offer an inviting atmosphere for bacteria that wreak havoc on food items.  Plastic pallets can be washed, sterilized and sent back out for delivery without the threat of bacterial buildup.

Robinson Industries Inc. uses thermoforming machines and equipment to manufacture large pallet orders.   Companies interested in Robinson's machines, equipment and design options can contact the sales department at sales@robinsonind.com.
