Rackable, nestable and food-grade plastic pallets, stocked in Toronto.

No. Every figure on this site is quoted, because the price depends on the volume, the specification and where it is going. Tell us those three things and a written quotation follows within 24 hours, priced in Canadian or US dollars.

We quote against the quantity you actually need rather than against a published minimum. Truckload and 40 ft container quantities carry the best rate, and the number of units that fit on a truck and in a container is published on every product page, so you can see where those breaks fall before you ask.

Everything ships from our own warehouse at 601 Magnetic Dr #29, North York, ON. We deliver across Canada and the United States. Because the stock is already in the country, an order is not waiting behind an import lead time, and the delivery date is confirmed in writing on the quotation.

It depends on how the load is supported, and the three published figures are not interchangeable. Static load is what the pallet carries standing on a flat floor. Dynamic load is what it carries while it is being moved by a forklift or a pallet truck. Racking load is what it carries supported only at its two ends in a beam rack, and it is always the smallest of the three, which is why a pallet chosen on its static figure alone is the one that fails in racking. Across this catalogue the published static ratings run from 1,102 lb to 16,535 lb. Every pallet publishes its static and dynamic figures on its own page, and its racking figure wherever it is rated for racking.

The North American standard is the 48 by 40 inch footprint, and more of this range is built on it than on any other footprint; the published dimension is 47.24 by 39.37 inches, because the moulds are metric 1200 by 1000 mm and that is the exact conversion. We also publish the 47 by 31 inch euro footprint (1200 by 800 mm), a 51 by 43 inch heavy-duty footprint, and a 31 by 24 inch display pallet. Every product page prints its own dimensions imperially with the metric original beside it rather than converting a converted figure.

Across the pallet line the published net weights run from 6.39 lb to 60.63 lb. A nestable pallet sits at the light end, because the whole point of it is that it costs little to ship back empty, and a heavy-duty racking pallet sits at the top. Net weight is published on every product page, and it matters for two reasons beyond handling: it sets your freight cost on the outbound leg, and it is subtracted from your gross weight limit on the truck.

Yes. Skid and pallet are the same object in most Canadian warehouses, and anything on this site listed as a plastic pallet is what a purchase order calling for a plastic skid is asking for. The one distinction worth making is the base. A skid in the strict sense has continuous runners and no bottom deck, which here is the 3-runner and 6-runner bottom types. A leg base, 6 or 9 legs, gives four-way entry for a pallet truck, and on the nestable models lets empty units sit inside one another. Bottom type is published on every pallet page.

Not automatically, and strength on the first trip is the wrong comparison. A hardwood stringer pallet and a rackable plastic pallet can carry comparable static loads when both are new. What differs is the hundredth trip: plastic does not splinter, does not absorb water or take on weight in the wet, loses no nails, and holds its published rating for its service life, where a repaired wooden pallet quietly stops matching the figure it was bought on. Plastic is also dimensionally identical unit to unit, which is what automated handling and racking need. Wood wins on one count, the unit cost of a single one-way shipment.

Not per unit, and the unit is the wrong thing to compare. A wooden pallet is cheaper to buy once; a plastic pallet is bought once and used for years, so the figure that decides it is cost per trip rather than cost per pallet. Divide the purchase price by the number of cycles each one will actually survive in your operation. That arithmetic is the whole argument for plastic in a closed loop where the pallets come back to you, and it is the argument against it for a one-way export shipment nobody expects to see again. Tell us which of the two you are running and we will quote accordingly.

A nestable pallet has no bottom deck, so empty units sit inside one another and take a fraction of the space on the return leg. A rackable pallet has a heavier base and reinforcement built to be supported only at its two ends, which is what a beam rack does to it. Nestable saves freight; rackable survives the rack. We publish 11 nestable and 5 rackable models, each with its own static and dynamic figures, and a racking figure wherever the model is rated for racking.

It is the shape of the base. Nine legs give four-way entry for a forklift or a pallet truck, and on the nestable models let empty units sit inside one another. Three or six runners are continuous skids that spread the load along their length, which is what a pallet needs when it is carried at the ends in racking rather than supported across a floor. Bottom type is published on every pallet page, and it is usually the second thing to check after the load rating.

The food-grade line is moulded from food-grade HDPE with a fully closed deck, and the leg-base models publish an easy-wash surface resistant to industrial detergents. On certification we will tell you exactly what we hold: the manufacturer reference states the material is food-grade, and the certificate itself is confirmed with the plant against your order. We would rather say that than print a standard number we have not seen.

Yes. Pallets run grey, white, navy and blue as standard, with other colours to order, and the bins line runs yellow, dark green, charcoal grey, blue, red and light green. Your mark can be printed or embossed into the moulding itself. Anti-slip strips, safety rims from 4 to 22 mm, reinforcement profiles and ESD grades are specified per order rather than stocked as separate products, so they are priced on the quotation.

Forty-five models publish minus 4 to plus 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which covers ambient and chilled work, and four publish minus 4 to plus 86. Every product page states its own range. If you are running a blast freezer, say so on the request and we will confirm it against the exact model before quoting.

Yes, and you do not have to ask for it. Every model has a datasheet PDF on its product page carrying the spec table, the technical drawing and the load ratings. There are 118 of them across the catalogue and its variants.
