What is the lifespan of a pallet?
Curious to know what the lifespan of a wooden pallet is? On average, the usual timeframe for a wooden pallet is between 3 and 5 years. This will, of course, depend on other factors such as their usage, wood they’re made from, the condition they are kept in, frequency of how much they’re shipped, distance travelled, weight and size, as well as what they have been used for (DIY projects/good transportation).Â
The benefit of wooden palletsÂ
Why should you choose wooden pallets? There are a lot of benefits to wooden pallets. Including how long they can last when looked after correctly.Â
The main reason is how easy they are to recycle and reuse. As they are made from wood, a natural resource, once these pallets have reached the end of their use, instead of being taken to a landfill, they can be recycled.Â
At Associated Pallets, we have a large variety of wooden pallets to choose from. We make it easy to get the right pallet for you, whether you require pallets on a budget or need to ensure that they will be able to be shipped across the world.Â
Types of PalletsÂ
New Wooden PalletsÂ
New wooden pallets can last up-to five years of regular use in the correct conditions. By manufacturing and supplying new wooden pallets in a range of sizes and styles, we can ensure the needs of our customers are met. For example, the new wooden pallets are manufactured to meet ISO standards. This helps contribute to their long lifespan. Aside from their longevity, our new wooden pallets can also be produced in a bespoke size suited to your shipping or factory requirements. You can also have peace of mind that the wood used for the pallets has been sourced from sustainable woodland.
Used Wooden PalletsÂ
If you’re on a budget or would prefer a further eco-friendly option, our used wooden pallets are an excellent choice. These pallets have been reused from previous damaged or unwanted pallets that we have collected and refurbished to ensure that they meet our high standards. Usually, you’ll find these pallets to be around 60% cheaper than new wooden pallets. Suitable for shipping and DIY projects. Used wooden pallets have been given a new lifespan thanks to our work in ensuring that they have been correctly refurbished. With a wide range to choose from, you’ll find it easy to order used wooden pallets for your business.Â
Heat TreatedÂ
Are you planning to use our long-lifespan pallets for international shipping? Then make sure to choose pallets from our heat treated range. It is a requirement that pallets to be used for international shipping must meet ISPM 15 international standards. The reason for this is to prevent the spread of pests and diseases. Additionally, heat treatment is a great way of increasing a pallet’s durability and weather resistance. Ensure you have long-lasting pallets by choosing from our heat treated range.Â
Presswood PalletsÂ
Also referred to as moulded wooden pallets due to their appearance, presswood pallets are manufactured from wood byproducts. Ideal for use in a storage facility, presswood pallets can hold a substantial amount of load capacities. Avoid replacing your pallets regularly by getting our presswood pallets, specifically designed to be ideal for storage usage. Another advantage to presswood pallets is that being made from wooden byproducts ensures that they are environmentally friendly and sustainably sourced.Â
