Nordcontenitori plastic pallets

Any situation that requires isolating materials from the ground tofacilitate their movement can be solved with the use ofspecial plastic pallets or platforms.

Depending on the type of operation to be performed, NordContenitori 's production of plastic pallets includes four different types:

• for internal handling
• for transportation
• fully customizable pallets
• loading units and more resistant pallets for racks

#1 Pallets for internal handling.

These are stackable, stackable and sturdy pallets suitable for handling materials and finished products, withstandingfrequent use and temperatures ranging from -20°C to + 60°C. They arealso availablein a lightweight version specially designed for indoor logistics.

Depending on your moving needs and warehouse type, you can choose from plastic pallets of various sizes, including:

• 800x600x125 mm
• 1100x1100x140 mm

• 1200x1000x160 mm

#2 Plastic transport pallets

These pallets are the best solution for domestic and international shipments because they provide great load stability and high protection of goods.

Depending on size and specific requirements, these plastic pallets can reachstatic capacities of over 3000 kg and dynamic capacities of over 1000 kg. The standard dimensions in our catalog are as follows:

• 1100x1100x140 mm
• 1200x800x140 mm
• 1200x1000x140 mm

Like plastic platforms for internal handling, these can also be used at temperatures between -20°C and + 60°C.

#3 Iridium-Pal^®, the totally customized plastic pallets.

Beyond common industry requirements, every company has its own challenges to face. To solve them with ease, at NordContenitori we have patented special custom-made plastic pallets, Iridium-Pal®, whose sizes and colors can be modulated on demand.

These are fully customizable pallets thatimprove and make handling and storage operations in industrial logisticsmore efficient, saving time and money.

For example, somehigh-density polyethylene pallets specifically for container shipments ( 1140x1140x140 mm) that have static load capacities up to 4000 kg and dynamic load capacities up to 1500 kg, and withstand temperatures between -40°C and +80°C, are part of Iridium-Pal®.

Europallets: availability and advantages

Euro pallets are plastic (or other material) pallets specially constructed to meet European standard measurements. These standards were created with the aim of creating a benchmark in Europe in the areas of logistics and goods handling. This standardization has several advantages:

• Savings in time and manpower when loading-unloading and storing goods;
• Simplification in the use of vehicles used to transport euro pallets;
• Savings in the purchase of standard-sized plastic pallets;
• Possibility of increased reuse.

What are the measurements of a europallet?

The European Union has defined 4 main sizes for pallets for handling and storage:

• EUR 1: plastic pallets 80x120 cm
• EUR 2: plastic pallets with measurements of 100x120 cm
• EUR 3: plastic pallets 120x100 cm
• EUR 4: pallets with measurements of 60x80 cm

There is also a variant of europallet called MINI that provides an area of a quarter of the standard pallet, and therefore measures 40x60 cm.

NordContenitori manufactures and markets europallets made of plastic. We chose this material because it allows us to guarantee strength, hygiene, light weight and savings to our customers, who can reuse their plastic pallets countless times for European transports. In addition, in full compliance with European standards, Nordcontenitori's PVC pallets can include customizations to optimize the transport and storage of goods:

• Side or bottom holes;
• Non-slip inserts for greater stability;
• Hooks for hooking and stacking plastic pallets;
• Retaining edges to keep goods secure;
• Coloring on request;
• Wheels.

Customization options

NordContenitori's plastic pallets can be requested withvarying degrees of customization so that they fully reflect your logistical needs in terms of storage, internal handling and transportation. For example, if you need completely customized plastic platforms, we can study and design a solution that fully meets your objectives. After an initial brief in which we gather your needs, we will work closely with you to produce custom-made plastic pallets, our special Iridium-Pal®.

With Nordcontenitori you can also accessorize your other plastic pallets with a number of elements that make them easier to use such as :

• crosspieces with bayonet attachment
• sealing beads
• screen-printable feet
• non-slip strips
• addition or subtraction of modules to achieve the desired dimensions
• choice of different colors for each pallet so it is recognizable at a glance

All of our plastic pallets also allow the application of logos by screen printing and labels to recognize and catalog the goods. Finally, Nordcontenitori is able to meet the special needs of each company, making customized pallets, with lengths up to 12 meters, and with special shapes and structures, such as round pallets or pallets with bevels according to the customer's specifications, thus being able to supply companies in every sector.

Why choose a plastic pallet over other materials?

Nordcontenitori's plastic pallets are certified to international standards, withstand years of frequent use and all outdoor weather conditions, and always guarantee the highest levels of efficiency.

The reason lies precisely in the material from which they are made, plastic HDPE or PP.

Low weight

In industrial handling, it is necessary to make maximum use of space, weight and size in order to move and organize goods with maximum efficiency, saving time and money. Plastic pallets are strong and lightweight, greatly reducing the total weight of the load making it easier to transport.

In addition, plastic, for the same weight, allows greater static and moving structural load-bearing capacity than wood, providing simplified handling of goods, which results in savings on transportation and shipping.

No more alterations

Great resistance to corrosive agents and moisture makes this type of pallet perfect for stowing and organizing goods in all weather conditions. Plastic pallets do not suffer alteration and are not subject to rapid structural decay, which is dangerous for handling and vertical storage.

Potentially endless life cycle

Once their long life cycle is over, plastic pallets are reused as they are composed of100 percent recyclable plastic materials, transformed into new pallets or other plastic tools. This process is environmentally friendly and sustainable, confirming the ethical and social commitment of a green and responsible company like Nordcontenitori.

Plastic pallets do not need inspection

Plastic is immune to the infiltration of harmful organic elements, as is the case with its wooden counterpart. Precisely for this reason, wooden pallets thicker than 6 mm need to be inspected and sanitized in the case of an intercontinental shipment, delaying delivery and greatly increasing transportation prices.

Hygiene and safety assured

Thanks to this immunity to infiltration, plastic pallets are hygienic and uncontaminated, a feature that makes them perfect for handling goods in pharmaceuticals, food and wherever high levels of cleanliness are required.

Goodbye to splinters and nails

Workplace safety is essential for obvious reasons but is very often overlooked, leading to accidents of various kinds. A nail sticking out of the pallet at eye level can be potentially very dangerous to your health, that of your colleagues or employees, as well as that of the goods being transported. Plastic pallets have no sharp corners or surface splinters, making logistics jobs safe and reliable.

Customization options

NordContenitori manufactures custom plastic pallets, which can be customized by engraving your company ' s logo on them for easier recognition, adding various elements and completely changing colors to diversify the storage of goods, improving warehouse organization.

HDPE pallets and pallets also for HACCP chains

The advantages of plastic go far beyond those just listed. One example is Nordcontenitori's HDPE pallets, which are M.O.C.A.-c ertified Food Contact Materials and Objects. It means that our HDPE pallets can be used within HACCP food supply chains, in full compliance with Italian and European regulations.
