Plastic pallets also known as skids are the flat structure objects, used for transporting and supporting goods when being lifted by a forklift, a front loader, a pallet jack, crane, or a jacking device. They are used for transporting the heavy goods and shipping containers while being secured by strapping, stretch wrap, shrink wrap, and others. Pallets are largely used for commercial and industrial use for lifting the heavy stacks and faster material movement. They are also available in other forms such as wooden, metal, paper, recycled material, and others. The plastic pallets are made up of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material. Plastic pallets are extensively used by the logistic service providers due to their durability and stackability. The production of plastic pallets is carried out by high-pressure injection molding, structural foam molding, thermoforming, compression molding, rotational molding, and profile extrusion.
