  • Optional Corner Posts – 40 x 40mm RHS posts can be bolted into each corner to help contain awkward, tall, or irregular items.
  • Multiple Deck Options – Available with plain bar, mesh, or sheet decks, allowing you to tailor the pallet to your specific storage or transport needs.
  • Zinc-Plated Finish – Corrosion-resistant coating offers long-term protection, even in harsher industrial environments.
  • Cost-Effective Over Time – Though higher upfront, metal pallets significantly outlast timber, offering a smarter long-term investment.
  • Environmentally Responsible – With less frequent replacements, steel pallets help reduce waste and environmental impact.
  • Engineer Rated for Safety – Unlike timber, steel pallets can be load-rated by an engineer—ensuring compliance and reducing guesswork around workplace safety.

FAQs

What are steel pallets used for?

Steel pallets are made for demanding environments. Think warehouses. Workshops. Transport depots. Wherever durability, safety, and weight-bearing capacity are critical, these pallets step in. They're built to carry the load—literally. From heavy machinery parts to bulk stock, they handle items that are too tough or too awkward for timber alternatives. Need stability? They’ve got it. With engineered designs that work seamlessly with pallet racking systems, steel pallets are widely used across logistics centres, mining operations, and industrial facilities. In short: when the job's heavy, steel does the lifting.

What are the advantages of using metal pallets?

Start with your environment. Indoors or outdoors? Wet areas or dry storage? Each setting has its own demands. Next, consider the load—heavy, awkward, fragile? That shapes the design you’ll need. A mesh deck for airflow? A solid sheet for spill control? Corner posts for tall or irregular items? These are practical details that matter. Also, don’t overlook the finish—a zinc-plated option offers corrosion resistance where it counts. Not sure where to begin? Contact us.

How do steel pallets improve supply chain efficiency?

By reducing product damage, improving handling safety, and streamlining compatibility with racking and forklifts, steel pallets play a critical role in optimising supply chains. Their long lifespan and consistent performance minimise downtime and replacement costs, while their standardised, rack-safe design helps improve storage density and transport planning.
