The Cardboard pallet

The world of pallets is ruled by wood and it seems bad forklift drivers.
New regulation regarding the use of wooden pallets (fumigation etc) has increased the potential for new types of materials to make it into the construction of pallets.  Aluminium, plastic and cardboard are the the main alternatives to wood.

The first thing most potential customers mention when you tell them of cardboard pallets is:" forklift drivers break everything".

If you have a van driver that bumps it to all the trees in the neigbourhood would you get him a van with lots of rubber around or fire the driver?
A forklift is made to pick up and put down nicely. Not for racing.

It will take a long time for mindsets to change, hope this blog is the start

Go cardboard pallets!
