Material Handling Plastic Pallets

A pallet is a flat structural platform used to consolidate, store, and transport goods throughout a supply chain.

They come in wood, plastic, and composite materials in standard or custom sizes to suit different operational needs.

Always confirm the pallet's rack load capacity with your supplier before use, as standard or export-grade plastic pallets may not be suitable for racking applications.

Take 2 Direct offers plastic pallets in the standard 48x40 size, which is compatible with most warehouse and shipping operations in the US, as well as Euro pallet formats and fully custom sizes. Custom sizing is available for businesses with non-standard shelving, racking, or shipping container requirements. Contact us for a quote on custom dimensions.

Take 2 Direct offers heat-treated pallet options that comply with ISPM 15 international phytosanitary standards, a requirement for cross-border wood and plastic pallet shipments in many countries.

Recycled options also support sustainability goals and post-industrial recycling initiatives within your supply chain.
