A detailed comparison between ZETA and Plastic Pallets

High Load Bearing Capacity

Conventional Plastic Pallets can support up to 1250 kg of uniformly distributed load. This capacity applies under ideal conditions, such as stationary loads without dynamic forces, and ensures the pallet's structural integrity during typical handling and transport.

​

ZETA Pallets provide a versatile solution with a load capacity range from 250 kg to 2500 kg, catering to both light and heavy-duty applications. This flexibility in capacity allows businesses to choose the ideal pallet for their needs, ensuring strength, stability, and durability across a wide range of industries and load types.

Plastic Pallets come in fixed sizes because of the nature of their manufacturing process, which uses pre-defined molds to produce the pallets. A non-standard size means developing a new mold which is an expensive option. Businesses that require specific sizes or load capacities beyond standard options may need to consider alternative solutions, such as custom pallets or different materials.

​

ZETA Pallets offer flexibility with custom sizes, designs, materials, and features to meet specific needs, whether for unique product shapes, specialized weight requirements, or industry standards (e.g., Food, FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, Logistics). This adaptability enhances space optimization, load security, cost-efficiency, and overall operational performance.

Average life of up to 10 years

Despite proper care, Plastic Pallets will inevitably degrade over time due to the inherent properties of the material and the physical stresses they face with regular use. A typical lifespan ranges from 2 to 5 years with proper use and maintenance. 

​

ZETA Pallets offer an unbeatable combination of strength, durability, and cost-efficiency. Their steel construction ensures they can handle both unanticipated impacts and long-term wear, making them a superior alternative to plastic or wooden pallets. With a lifespan of up to 10 years, businesses can rely on ZETA Pallets for safe, efficient, and low-maintenance material handling over the long term, providing significant cost savings and performance consistency throughout their entire life cycle.

Superior Returns

The low scrap value of Plastic Pallets is primarily due to their limited recyclability, the degradation of the material over time, and the low demand for recycled plastic from pallets. While plastic pallets offer benefits like lower upfront costs and longer service life compared to timber pallets, their low scrap value means that, at the end of their life cycle, they offer little in terms of residual return.
