goplasticpallets.com, the responsible plastic pallet company, has launched the UK’s lightest Euro plastic pallet to date, designed as an affordable and sustainable alternative to traditional wooden Euro pallets. Weighing just 8.3kg, the SF 800 PEL is an efficient solution for cost-conscious logistics applications, exports and airfreight.
Measuring 1200mm x 800mm x 145mm, the SF 800 PEL is available in either 100% recycled HDPE or virgin material for those businesses adhering to certain hygienic regulations. It is also fully recyclable at the end of its working life. With consistent dimensions and three closed runners, this strong and robust lightweight plastic pallet is perfect for automation systems and has a racking load capacity of up to 200kg. A number of customisation options are also available, including branding and the choice of adding lips.
Designed to the exact dimensions of a traditional wooden Euro pallet, the new plastic pallet enables businesses to switch seamlessly from timber while immediately benefiting from improved hygiene, durability and export efficiency. As the pallet is ISPM15 compliant, it removes the need for costly and time-consuming heat treatment processes typically associated with wooden pallets used in international shipping. Unlike wooden pallets, the SF 800 PEL also eliminates issues with debris, protruding nails and splinters, helping to improve workplace safety, protect goods and maintain a cleaner warehouse and production areas.
Dan Starnes, Sales Director at goplasticpallets.com, said: “We are excited to launch this innovative new pallet in the UK, courtesy of Smart-Flow. As the lightest Euro plastic pallet currently available on the market, it gives logistics and operations managers even greater choice when optimising their supply chains and reducing transport weight.
“This pallet is particularly well suited to applications where today’s medium-duty pallets with runners exceed what the task actually requires, offering amore efficient and cost-effective alternative without compromising on performance. It is ideal for a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing and packaging, where hygiene, consistency and reliability are critical throughout storage and distribution.”
