Pallet[Pallet?:pallet] boxes are containers designed specifically to fit on pallet jacks, hand-propelled, wheeled platforms used to lift and move palletized unit loads. Companies use pallet boxes to ship and store many types of cargo, from food to industrial materials. When pallet boxes reach their destination, which is usually a warehouse, workers use pallet jacks to lift and stack them for transfer into storage areas or onto trucks. An assortment of standard-size pallet boxes is available for purchase, or they can be made to a customer’s specifications.
Both standard and custom pallet boxes come in a choice of materials. Pallet boxes can be made of corrugated cardboard, fiberboard, plastic[plastic?:Plastic sample cutting machine], metal or wood. Sides and floors may be solid, slatted, wire mesh, or a combination of solid bottoms and open sides. Collapsible or rigid pallet boxes are available new or used from a number of manufacturers and retailers. Pallet boxes come in square or rectangular shapes that can be stacked for more efficient use of space in warehouses, shipping containers and trucks.
