Pallets No Spill
This pallet has a body double that allow you to hold liquids in the background, avoiding to touch the floor and produce pollution, debris, or accidents. These liquids can be the product as such or waste of this.
What types of products should be transported in pallets non-spill?
Make a proper use and handling of certain substances considered as dangerous or harmful to human health, such as corrosive elements or other inputs other flammable, has become a topic of great importance in the industrial sector.
This is due to provide security for the system of employees in Ecuador, especially to the interior of the companies, and being able to act certain national rules in force, it has become a premise of corporate social responsibility.
It is for this reason that we have classified what products should be transported in pallets, no spill. Subjects who, due to their composition, physical-chemical, must be transported and/or stored in pallets plastic non-spill with specific characteristics.

¿Por qué los pallets plásticos son una alternativa sostenible?
Los pallets plásticos se han consolidado como una alternativa sostenible en la gestión logística y el transporte de mercancías, y esta preferencia no es sin razón. Existen diversos motivos que respaldan la elección de los pallets plásticos como una opción más amigable con el medio ambiente.
En primer lugar, la sostenibilidad de los pallets plásticos radica en su durabilidad. Fabricados con materiales plásticos de alta calidad, como el polietileno de alta densidad (PEAD/HDPE), estos pallets superan en resistencia y longevidad a sus contrapartes de madera. La durabilidad superior no solo reduce la frecuencia de reemplazo, sino que también minimiza la generación de residuos y la demanda de recursos naturales.
La capacidad de ser reciclados y fabricados con plástico reciclado constituye otro aspecto clave de la sostenibilidad de los pallets plásticos. En comparación con los pallets de madera, cuya producción puede contribuir a la deforestación, la fabricación de pallets plásticos no implica la tala de árboles. Además, la opción de utilizar plástico reciclado contribuye a la reducción de desechos plásticos y a cerrar el ciclo de vida del material.
La eficiencia en la cadena de suministro también se ve favorecida por la sostenibilidad de los pallets plásticos. Su diseño uniforme y peso ligero facilita la estandarización en el manejo y almacenamiento de mercancías, optimizando el espacio de carga en camiones y almacenes. Esto conlleva a una reducción en las emisiones de carbono asociadas al transporte, ya que se maximiza la capacidad de carga y se disminuyen los viajes necesarios.
La resistencia a la humedad y la corrosión de los pallets plásticos también juegan un papel crucial en su sostenibilidad. A diferencia de los pallets de madera, que pueden degradarse y perder integridad estructural cuando se exponen a condiciones climáticas adversas, los pallets plásticos mantienen su forma y resistencia, prolongando su vida útil y reduciendo la necesidad de reemplazo.
Los pallets plásticos se erigen como una alternativa sostenible en virtud de su durabilidad, capacidad de reciclaje, eficiencia en la cadena de suministro y resistencia a condiciones ambientales desafiantes.
Al adoptar pallets plásticos, las empresas no solo pueden mejorar su huella ambiental, sino también beneficiarse de una gestión logística más eficiente y económica a largo plazo. La elección de estos pallets no solo representa una decisión consciente, sino también un paso hacia un enfoque más sostenible en la gestión de materiales y recursos.

Pallets for export
Also known as One Way or pallets to packaging or packaging, these have been designed to comply with all the norms of international and for the optimization of the processes, by this even though they are less resistant can be much lighter and it is recommended that at the time you mobilize the load is enzunchada or narrowed.
After seeing all of these specifications, the question that arises is what is the material that has the versatility to achieve this offer. The truth is that you can make pallets with various materials, but the current trend is to use pallets and plastics. This positioning should be just to the resistance, hygiene and savings they represent.
What types of products can be stored on pallets for export?

Types of pallets according to your material
Wooden Pallets
Are the most widely used in the logistics industry around the world, this is due to your great advantage: the price. However, it has several points against that are discourage their use, as the negative impact generated by the environment by cutting down trees and the difficulty of its maintenance: cleaning and fumigation.
In addition, this pallet has major disadvantages in the export, because in the country of destination are subject to phytosanitary inspection, which adds time to the process, and if the wood pallets have any sign of fungal or pest, it opens up the possibility of a quarantine for the goods. This additional time, it is a cost overrun of fewer and fewer companies are willing to take.
Among other things, the regulation of wood packaging ISPM 15 established by the United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture, is fixed in the process of preparing the pallet and its treatment, to deliver to the pallets certificates a tag or label control that identifies them. In case of non-compliance with the requirements imposed penalties on the offenders, these measures may end in the destruction of the goods for health risk.
However, these stretcher plastic continue to have strength in the market because they have a good cycle life and resistance.
Pallet of Plastic
The requirements in force in the international market, the increase of freight rates and the lack of current availability of other alternatives, have turned this option on one of the more viable.
Contrary to the wood, to the disadvantage of the pallets, plastic may be the price, but this is just an appreciation surface, because long-term, the durability of this material may make this choice in a significant savings for companies.
On the other hand, their characteristics have also become attractive because their process of disinfection and cleaning is much more agile and do not require maintenance for repair, because his manner of manufacture is by injection, and gives as a result a single piece.
Contrary to what you may believe, this alternative is much more friendly to the environment, because those pallets that have completed their useful life can be used as a feedstock for the production of some new or other products.
One of the initial doubt to which users can address this type of material is that they tend to warp, but these have been shown to withstand very well the pressure of the weight.
In addition, these pallets are also resistant to temperatures below – 40 °C and + 70°C.
Pallets Wood plastic
The polymer of natural origin mixed with plastic is a material that is a little unconventional, because, despite being a substitute ecological wood -an advantage-requires to be joined with brads and screws, such as the traditional wood, which means that you must have some kind of maintenance. In addition, its metal parts, can be a source of generation of bacteria. Within its advantages is the price, lower the pallet made completely in plastic.
Pallets of Metal
The long shelf life of these pallets and its stiffness are very attractive for certain industries, but its materials (steel or aluminum) makes them much heavier than the other options.
In addition, if we compare the 1,500 kg (15q) in motion and 4,000 kg (40q) in static load that can support a pallet of metal, it is evident that emerging materials such as plastic, represent a more economical choice, because they provide the same resistance without increasing the cost of transportation for their individual weight without load.
Pallet of Cardboard
The weight and resistance of this type of pallets that cannot be compared with the previous, because it has different uses, it is much more lightweight and easy to handle, so the load should be much lighter.
Its price is clearly lower than other alternatives, but its shelf life is shorter in length, can be damaged very easily.
The only thing that is left to say in front of the materials used for the production of pallets, is that currently there is not a material that combines best resistance, waterproofing and weight as the plastic. Remember that all types of pallets-according to the functions - which we saw in the first part is plastic and this shows his versatility.

What are the benefits of the injection of polymers?
The pallets plastics, developed through a process of injection of polymer, they feature a cutting-edge technology known as foamed structural or Structural Foam.
This manufacturing process gives you, the final product a few thick walls and solid with a low weight, thanks to the mixture of HDPE with Nitrogen, which allows the pallet to be robust and therefore has a better performance in different storage scenarios.
In this sense, accompanied by a correct handling of the equipment mobilization, the pallet will have a useful life longer.
This type of pallets plastic Soliplast are manufactured under the highest quality standards, with High Density Polyethylene raw material, which is spearheading the process of injection of polymers or foamed structural.
What are the benefits of the use of HDPE under injection of polymers in plastics?
Now that we talked about why it is important to use the technique of foaming structural in the manufacture of pallets and plastics, it is necessary to understand what are the major advantages provided by the use of the same strategies storage or transportation of freight in an enterprise:
Elasticity
The use of HDPE, low-foaming structural, in the manufacture of pallets plastic, allows the product to have greater flexibility at the time of the storage or transportation of goods.
It is lighter in weight
The pallets plastic, designed under a model of polymer injection, are lighter than other manufactured with other materials. This will provide a lower overhead to the time of transportation or storage of goods.
Longer service life
Various pallets plastic Soliplast have a shelf life up to 5 years.
Lower investment in the medium and long term: post to multiple pallets plastic Soliplast have a shelf life up to 5 years, you'll have to invest much less on repurchase of conventional pallets.

Now that you know more about what are the great benefits of the injection of polymers, we invite you to meet our different types of pallets plastic Soliplast.
Why is it so important to the use of the pallet polyethylene for the industry?
To begin talking about the importance of the use of the pallet polyethylene in the industrial market, it is necessary to discuss his most notable benefit, and this is no more than the savings are so significant in terms of spending on conventional pallets that a company should do to maintain a stock of tools, which, in turn, allows you to perform, successfully, all its operations of loading, unloading, storage, transport and distribution of goods.
However, it is not the only advantage that would have a company to run its operations, by means of the pallet polyethylene, or plastic.
Some of the most important qualities of polyethylene implemented in pallets plastic, they are:
- Resistance
- Safety
- Durability
- Longer service life
- Ease of cleaning
- Advantages transportation regulations
- Light weight
Then the polyethylene, precisely the one used in Soliplast (HDPE) or Polyethylene High Density, it is one of the most resistant on the market, so that their properties become accurate for all kinds of logistics solutions for businesses that use them.
Therefore, we want to know what the benefits are more relevant to use pallets polyethylene in your company. Please take note ✍!
| Benefits of using pallets polyethylene in your company | |

Types of pallets according to your measurements
Continuing with the theme of the international standards, for these are the dimensions of a pallet are also important. The most recognized in the world are the pallet american and the europallet that we will see in more detail below.
Pallet american
Also known as isopallet, pallet or industrial pallet universal.
- Characteristics established by the ISO 3676.
- Their measures are standard 1200 x 1000 mm
- A pallet american weighs approximately 25 Kg or 0.25 q.
- Supports a load of a maximum of 1200 kg or 12 q.
- The countries that use them are the united States and Japan.
Pallets europe
World renowned as europaleta or europalé.
- Its features are approved by the EPA, the European Association of Pallets.
- The standard measure of a europalet is of 1200 x 800 mm
- A pallet the european weighs regularly to 27 Kg, or 0.27 qs.
- Withstand a static load of 4,000 kg (40 q) and 1,400 kg (14 q) in motion.
- They are the most used throughout the old continent.
The main difference between a pallet american and a europalet
- The main difference is their size, and this has a practical reason, the pallets are europeans more small to achieve a better location and use of space in the interior of the carriages of the trains in europe.
- Americans have a larger space for the distribution of the load and the europeans will support more weight.
We must make it clear that there are other measures available on the market, as of 1165×1165 mm, 1100×1100 mm, 1067×1067 mm and 1016 x 1219 mm, but these are not frequently used.
Pallet types according to the number of entries
This aspect is related to the movement of cargo, the number of entries limited form of transport.
- Pallets with two entries: has two sides closed, and only two open, which makes it difficult to access them with the montacarga, however, these are ideal for racks selective due to its structure.
- Pallets with four entries: the four sides have openings, which means that these have a higher mobility because they can be attached from any side.
Pallet types according to their surface
As well as the number of entries determines part of the process, the surface of these can generate some advantages:
- Pallet with tabs: having a set of wings or tabs that protrude from the structure extends the surface on which you can cubicar the load. In addition, the tabs work as a brake for the jabas plastic.
- Pallet reversible or double-sided: they have two faces are identical and both have the same functions and load capacity.
- Pallets with surfaces completely closed: these feature a small relief in alfajor that makes the times of anti-slip.
- Pallet with surface ventilation discrete or maximum: they are ideal for when the products are in cold rooms and/or frozen, because it allows the air circulation through them.
