Industrial Pallets #123760

FirmaLoad Bulk Bag PalletsPallets with PowerMake transit and storage of your bulk bags cleaner, easier and more stable. Bulk bags present unique storage and transportation challenges. Protruding nail heads and sharp wood splinters in conventional wooden pallets can cause rips and spill product, undermining your reputation at customers receiving docks. Unlike FirmaLoad bulk bag pallets, wood pallets are simply not clean, green, nor freight-smart enough to help your company compete. Sonoco is a proud member of the FIBCA and our pallets pair well with bulk bags.

Thanks to engineered composite rods, FirmaMax designs offer pound-for-pound advantages of strength, rigidity and modularity. Factory-installed rods increase stacking strength and rigidity providing less deflection than comparable plastic pallets when edge-racked. To keep cost down, you specify only the number of rods necessary to meet your particular needs. FirmaMax pallets withstand loads of up to 5, 000 pounds and dont warp when used in edge-racking systems. They maintain dimensional stability and meet or exceed all GMA standards. As a result, you will benefit from more stable loads and less line stoppages in your material handling systems.

Lightweight PalletsAlthough 85% of all unitized loads shipped in North America weigh less than 1, 000 pounds, most companies still use heavy wood pallets. Wood pallets are made to carry loads in excess of 2, 500 pounds, and can increase shipping costs, raise disposal fees, pile up in landfills and sometimes cause damage to the products theyre supposed to protect. Wooden pallets are even now prohibited by some countries and companies because wood-boring parasites love them.
