Industrial Pallets: Steel, Wooden & Custom Pallet Solutions

01What are industrial pallets?

Industrial pallets are designed to support, handle, store and transport products, equipment and industrial materials safely and efficiently. Unlike standard pallets, industrial pallets can be selected or customized according to load requirements, product dimensions, handling equipment and storage conditions.

Industrial pallet solutions can be manufactured in different materials and configurations, including wooden pallets, steel or MS pallets, heavy-duty pallets and customized pallets for specialized industrial applications.

• Wooden pallets for general storage, logistics and transport
• Steel or MS pallets for demanding industrial applications
• Customized pallets for special product dimensions and handling requirements
• Heavy-duty pallets for high-load industrial applications
• Specialized pallets for machinery, equipment and industrial packaging

02Wooden pallets

Wooden pallets are widely used for material handling, warehousing, logistics, transportation and industrial packaging. They can be manufactured in different sizes, deck arrangements and entry configurations according to the application.

Wooden pallets can also be customized for machinery, equipment and products that require a specific pallet footprint or support arrangement.

The pallet design can be developed according to the product dimensions, load distribution, handling method and transport requirements.

• New softwood or hardwood construction
• Different pallet dimensions and configurations
• Two-way or four-way entry options where applicable
• Suitable for storage, transport and industrial packaging
• Customized construction for specific applications

03Steel and MS pallets

Steel pallets, including MS steel pallet constructions, are suitable for applications where higher durability, repeated handling and robust construction are required.

Steel pallets can be designed for industrial products, machinery, components and heavy materials where a stronger and more durable pallet structure is preferred.

Construction can be customized according to the required dimensions, load conditions, forklift entry and handling requirements.

• Heavy-duty steel construction
• Suitable for repeated industrial handling
• Customized dimensions and support arrangements
• Suitable for machinery and heavy components
• Designed according to application requirements

04Customized industrial pallets

Not every product can be safely handled using a standard pallet. Customized industrial pallets are developed around the actual product, equipment and handling process.

Energy Innovation can develop customized pallet solutions based on product dimensions, weight, load distribution, forklift access, storage requirements and transportation conditions.

Customization can include:

• Pallet length and width
• Overall pallet height
• Deck and support arrangement
• Forklift and pallet truck entry
• Reinforcement and structural supports
• Product-specific holding or support features
• Stacking and storage requirements
• Machinery and equipment packaging requirements

05Heavy-duty pallets for machinery and equipment

Large machines, industrial equipment and heavy components often require a pallet designed specifically for the product rather than a standard warehouse pallet.

Customized heavy-duty pallets can be developed to provide suitable support for machinery and equipment during handling, storage and transportation.

The design can consider the machine footprint, centre of gravity, weight distribution, lifting points, forklift access and packaging requirements.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial machinery
• Manufacturing equipment
• Engineering components
• Electrical and mechanical equipment
• Oil and gas equipment
• Large industrial components
• Export and transport packaging

06Pallets for industrial packaging and export

Industrial pallets are commonly used as part of a complete packaging and transportation solution. The pallet can be designed to support the product while allowing safe forklift handling, loading and unloading.

For machinery and equipment exports, the pallet configuration can be coordinated with the required packing arrangement, product dimensions and handling method.

Where wooden packaging is used for international shipment, applicable treatment and marking requirements should be confirmed according to the destination and shipment requirements.

07Selecting the right industrial pallet

The correct pallet depends on the product, load, handling method, storage arrangement and operating environment.

Before manufacturing or supplying a pallet, the following information should be considered:

Selecting the pallet based on the actual application helps achieve a practical balance between strength, durability, handling and cost.

• Product dimensions and weight
• Load distribution and support points
• Static and dynamic loading requirements
• Forklift or pallet truck entry
• Storage and racking requirements
• Stacking requirements
• Transport and packaging requirements
• Material selection
• Required pallet quantity and dimensions
