Heat treated pallets are the perfect solution for customers in Portsmouth. We offer a wide range of wooden pallets, which include wooden pallets, pallet collars, pallet boxes and timber. The products we offer are pre-heat treated, meaning they are ready for immediate next day delivery throughout the UK.

The International Phytosanitary Standard for Wood Packaging, otherwise known as ISPM15, requires that all wooden forms of packaging, including pallets, are heat­ treated before they’re used for shipping. Portsmouth customers can rest assured our pallets reach these requirements.

All wooden products supplied by Associated Pallets will be accompanied with a heat treatment certificate, our company registration and a graph showing the treatment process, this gives you complete confidence there will be no problems with your exports.

Benefits of Heat Treated Pallets

Heat treated pallets are essential in order to comply with ISPM15 requirements, preventing the transfer of pesticides and infestation during the exportation process. However, this is not the only advantage. Other benefit includes enhanced sterilisation, durability and weather resistance.

The main reason steralisation is important is to minimise the risk of infestation. The spread of insects and other pests from overseas can have a significant impact on the local environment. Insect contamination can even result in illnesses for those who handle the pallets. A wood pallet is at increased risk of developing bacteria and mould, especially if it is not stored correctly, due to the levels of moisture in it. However, heat treated pallets will have had some of this removed, decreasing the risk of bacteria and mould developing.

How Are Pallets Heat Treated?

It requires skill and efficiency to carry out the treatment process. The timber that is being used must first be debarked, as just the core is required for pallet production. The wood must then reach a temperature of at least 56°C or 132.8°F. By heating the wood to this temperature, it will remove a large amount of the moisture, which would otherwise result in the pallet rotting. The process of heat treating the pallets also increases the weather resistance of our products.

Why Are Pallets Heat Treated?

Over 90% of pallets and skids that are used for transporting goods in the world are made from wood. Due to the volume of wooden packaging being shipped, there is an internationally agreed check to make sure there are no bugs hiding within the timber. This is important for Portsmouth customers where items are shipped worldwide.

Every piece of wooden packaging that is treated is stamped with an internationally recognised mark to prove the packaging item has been treated to the ISPM15 standard. This mark essentially acts as a passport for the packaging item allowing it to be confidently transported across international borders with the knowledge it does not contain wood-borne pests.
