Ways that you save money:

Lower logistics cost:

• Per pallet shipping cheaper with steel than with wood or plastic.

Lower material handling.

• Carry more pallets to packing station, less space required at packing station.

Less warehouse space:

• Shorter nesting height lets you store the same number of pallets in much smaller spaces.

Lower insurance cost:

• Wood and plastic pallets are fire hazards, pose safety concerns and are at risk of theft which require expensive insurance.

Theft prevention:

• Easily store pallets inside and prevent the replacement costs for stolen pallets.

Eliminate shrink wrapping:

• Slots for straps easily secure loads on the pallet. Reduce costs as well as your carbon footprint.

Scrap Value:

• When pallet is scrapped, you can receive ~$10 for a 48"x40" pallet.

No Disposal Costs:

• Avoid cost of disposing pallets (~$2/pallet).
