Initially you would think that cardboard could not be strong enough to be used in a pallet, however, manufacturers claim that they can build cardboard pallets that will support more than 2500 pounds by using special corrugated cardboard construction techniques. Advantages of Corrugated Cardboard PalletCardboard pallets have some significant advantages over wood and plastic. Cardboard is much lighter than either, which can help keep shipping costs down by minimizing weight. Cardboard is also relatively clean and, because it is totally recyclable, can be cost effectively used for one way transport. Corrugated Cardboard Pallet EfficiencyFor those who have ever worked in a retail or industrial environment, pallets are a well known and simple tool. The relatively heavy, bulky, and in turn sturdy piece of hardware is usually made of wood, although newer versions are now shipping in a lighter plastic. Pallets are generally used for moving large shipments of goods.
There are usually fewer, albeit thicker,
boards nailed underneath. The design is perfectly laid out to fit the average
forklift or jacking device.
Generally, three days a week a supply truck brings groceries – be they produce, dairy, or grocery items – which are packed together, wrapped, and loaded on pallets. A driver (or employee) unloads the “skids” – as they are sometimes called – into the store’s backroom using a “jack” or jacklift. From there, the wrapping is cut, the boxes are taken off the pallet (or skid). Once the pallet is empty, it’s taken around
back and returned to the standard shipping company for reuse. It’s a handy
and tree-friendly way to do business. Generally, pallets are not available to individuals not working for a business, but their simple design means just about anyone could build one (although considering the type of use, this should be very carefully done).
The first hand-lift truck was invented in 1887, and many of these designs are still in use in smaller grocery stores and retail outlets today. Moving materials efficiently often requires the use of a forklift and a stacking device known as a pallet or skid. Traditionally, pallets are constructed from wooden planks and spacers, creating a dual platform for stacking products and inserting the blades of a tow motor or forklift. There are some drawbacks associated with the use of wooden pallets or skids, however. Wood is expensive, heavy, and potentially damaging to the floor or the stacked products. One worker cannot carry many traditional wooden pallets, and a stack of wooden skids can become a fire hazard. Corrugated Cardboard PalletEnter the cardboard pallet. A cardboard pallet is constructed out of corrugated cardboard sheets bonded with strong paper. A bottom layer is constructed from flat cardboard sheets, then spacers are created to allow for forklift blades. Two layers of cardboard form the top layer, upon which lightweight cargo may be stacked. Currently, the cardboard pallet is considered to be a disposable commodity with limited capacities. Cardboard do pallets offer a few advantages over their bulkier wooden counterparts, however. No Nails in the Corrugated Cardboard PalletSince no nails are used in the construction of a cardboard pallet, there is less potential for damage to the storage area or the products stacked on it. Workers can carry several cardboard skids back to a disposal or storage area, as opposed to using a forklift to stack and store heavy wooden pallets. Replacing a worn cardboard pallet is much less expensive than reordering wooden pallets from a manufacturer. There are still some technical issues which must be worked out before cardboard pallets can replace other forms. Corrugated cardboard is relatively strong compared to other paper products, but it has definite weight-bearing limitations. The act of handling a fully loaded cardboard pallet alone damages the material. Pallets and skids must be designed to allow for forklift access, which makes some traditional engineering methods unworkable. Corrugated Cardboard Pallet and Forklift bladesBracing for a cardboard pallet cannot intrude into the space reserved for the forklift blades. This means the pallet design can only include bracing going in one direction between the platform layers, or using spacers to allow for forklift access from both directions. Wooden pallets are inherently strong enough to withstand the stress of an unsupported top layer, but a cardboard pallet will often fail structurally when heavier loads are stacked on it. Benefits of Corrugated Cardboard Pallet· Made from 100% recyclable materials · Light in weight · Efficiency and ease of handling · Can be custom made to almost any size and shape
· Less than half the weight of wooden pallets · Fully recyclable The pallet consists of a plate (1), at least four feet (2) glued to the bottom side of the plate (1) and at least two laths (3) glued to in each case at least two feet (2).

Pallets are generally used for moving large shipments of goods.
What does a pallet look
like?
A pallet usually features a series of wooden
bars nailed to two side-mounted boards. Generally, the top-facing side of
a pallet contains the most boards, since it’s responsible for bearing the
shipment’s load. There are usually fewer, albeit thicker, boards nailed underneath.
The design is perfectly laid out to fit the average forklift or jacking device.
Where
are pallets found?
Pallets are a major part of the retail industry. For those who have ever worked
in a grocery store, they know that pallets are an everyday reality.
Generally, three days a week a supply truck brings groceries – be they produce, dairy, or grocery items – which are packed together, wrapped, and loaded on pallets. A driver (or employee) unloads the “skids” – as they are sometimes called – into the store’s backroom using a “jack” or jacklift.
From there, the wrapping is cut, the boxes are taken off the pallet (or skid). Once the pallet is empty, it’s taken around back and returned to the standard shipping company for reuse. It’s a handy and tree-friendly way to do business.
What are the prices for
pallets?
Most pallets cost retailers anywhere from $20 to $70, although there can be arrangements made with shipping companies to share these costs (since they’re constantly being moved about).
Generally, pallets are not available to
individuals not working for a business, but their simple design means just
about anyone could build one (although considering the type of use, this should
be very carefully done).
Where does the pallet come from?
Pallets were first brought into industry and retail during the first years
of the twentieth century, although wooden boxes and crates were still far
more commonly used.
The first hand-lift truck was invented in 1887, and many of these designs are still in use in smaller grocery stores and retail outlets today.
