Using secondhand pallets is a great way to save money for your business and reduce your environmental impact. They do exactly the same job as new pallets, and they're just as strong and reliable.
That's why we specialise in secondhand pallets. And we have a range of pallets to suit a variety of different business needs.
Here's what you need to know about all our secondhand pallets.
Our secondhand pallets
Here at Plain Pallets, we're proud to specialise in secondhand pallets. They're every bit as strong and durable as new pallets, but they're cheaper and better for the environment.
Here's an overview of all our used pallets.
Size | Capacity | Material | |
Lightweight pallets | 1,165mm x 1,165mm | 500kg | All used thin pine. |
Basic reclaim pallets | 1,165mm x 1,165mm | 1,200kg | All used hardwood. |
Standard reco pallets | 1,165mm x 1,165mm | 1,600kg | Mostly used hardwood, some new hardwood. |
Premium composite pallets | 1,165mm x 1,165mm | 1,600kg | Half used and half new hardwood. |
All our used pallets have been remanufactured from reclaimed materials. We take used pallets, pull them apart, discarding any damaged or broken boards, and rebuild them with fresh nails. That's what makes our secondhand pallets so strong and reliable.
What's the difference between secondhand pallets?
We offer a range of used pallets to suit different applications. The main difference between them is the amount of reclaimed wood in each type, making each one more suitable for some applications than others.
Here's what you need to know about each secondhand pallet type:
- Lightweight pallets – Designed to be lightweight and easy to handle. Ideal for shipping light goods and saving money on freight costs where you pay per kilogram.
- Basic reclaim pallets – Made from all reclaimed materials, it's an effective general use pallet that's cheaper and better for the environment than new pallets.
- Standard reco pallets – Just like our basic reclaim pallets but with two new bearers for extra strength and weight capacity. Ideal for when you have heavy goods.
- Premium composite – Built with new top boards, two new bearers and reclaimed boards on the bottom. Ideal for when you need high weight capacity and want your goods to travel on new wooden boards.
Our range of used pallets has something for every business. We have pallets that are suitable for many different applications so whatever you need, we can help.
Which used pallets are right for your business?
The right pallet choice for you depends on the nature of your business and products. Some of the most important things to consider are the weight of your goods, whether you need pallets for shipping or long-term storage, and the type of goods you produce.
Our most popular pallets are basic reclaim and standard reco pallets. Our customers typically choose the one with the weight capacity that better suits their goods.
We've been in the pallet industry for a long time and have helped countless clients with their pallet needs. If you're not sure which type of pallets is right for you, get in touch with us and we'll be glad to help.
