Frequently Asked Questions About Our Wooden Pallets
What's the difference between a skid and a standard pallet?
Skids and standard pallets are similar in construction, leading many people to confuse the two. Skids are often plain pallets built with only a top deck, making them lighter. They weigh less than pallets. Pallets have a top and bottom deck. The dual decks give pallets more stability than skids.
What's the load-bearing capacity of a standard pallet?
Load-bearing is a safety feature you need to consider when purchasing an Australian standard pallet. Our heavy-duty pallets are constructed from wood, making them susceptible to damage from overuse and the elements. How you use your pallet can also impact its load-bearing capacity. For example, a dynamic load refers to the weight you place on a pallet before putting it in motion. Being in motion refers to moving the pallet around with various equipment, like a forklift. Static load means when weight gets placed on a pallet that’s at rest, like when it’s storing items. Racking load is when you place a pallet in a pallet racking system. It’s important to consider what you will use your pallets for before purchasing them. You want to ensure that the pallet has the right load-bearing capacity and pallet dimensions for your purposes.
Can I use a pallet jack with a standard pallet?
Our standard pallets are easily transported with a forklift. Forklift tynes are thinner than the ones on a pallet jack. Move the adjustable tines closer together or farther apart depending on your needs. The standard pallet dimensions and pallet size Australia are designed to accommodate various equipment. Pinewood Products offers specialty pallet construction options if you want to use a pallet jack. Don’t hesitate to reach out with your custom requests.
What are ISPM 15 pallets?
ISPM 15 stands for the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15. It regulates wood packaging materials for international trade, including export pallets and those used in shipping containers. The standard was developed to address the spread of timber pests globally. It does so by regulating the movement of dunnage and timber packing that’s used in international trade. ISPM 15 applies to non-coniferous and coniferous wood packing materials, including pallets.
Are Pinewood Products ISPM 15 compliant?
Yes, all of our pallets are designed to comply with the regulations set forth by ISPM 15. No matter what country you’re exporting your goods to, feel confident that your pallets are ISPM 15 compliant. You don’t have to worry about encountering any unnecessary delays or complications in that department.
What wood is used for standard pallets?
We construct all our standard pallets from high-quality pine pallets materials. These pallets are manufactured locally on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and in Kurri Kurri, New South Wales.
How long will it take for my pallets to ship?
Our locations can produce up to 1,000 pallets each day, ensuring a cost-effective and timely shipping process. Reach out to our office to discover what the lead time is for our pallets depending on how many you need. We strive to deliver our customers’ orders as quickly as possible.
Can I recycle my standard pallets?
You can repair and reuse standard pine pallets numerous times before you need to dispose of them. Their lifecycle isn’t over once they’re no longer a functional pallet. Unlike plastic pallets, which can be harder to recycle, you can repurpose or recycle the wood from the pallet for many purposes.
