The Plastic Pallet With A Heart Of Steel
, a company that prides itself in the design and manufacture of pallets, has developed a range of hybrid steel and plastic pallets that have many benefits over the traditional wooden pallets and the more recent plastic pallets. The E-Dek composite steel and plastic pallet is designed to optimise strength, weight and cost. It consists of a plastic slat that simply clips into a high tensile steel pallet frame constructed of an arcuate section rolled specifically to our requirements. This enables the design to start off on a low raw materials cost base to produce a strong pallet frame structure. The plastic pallet slats are totally non-structural, inexpensive and easy to replace. The safety of the product does not depend on the strength of the plastic at all, but relies on the steel frame.
The hybrid steel and plastic pallet also has hygienic advantages over the traditional timber and plastic pallet. With the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) quality management system becoming mandatory for the entire food industry in both the European Union and many other countries worldwide, it is becoming mandatory for food & pharmaceutical products to be moved on food grade certified pallets. The E-dek pallet has been certified by the Norwegian Packaging Convention for safety in use of Food Packaging Materials (Certificate Reg. No. 1821) to handle all types of food stuff for long time contact. (max 40°C).
This conforms to European Union requirements.
Furthermore, for cross border transport ISPM15 legislation requires timber pallets to be specially treated. E-dek products by the nature of materials used are automatically ISPM 15 compliant.
Finally, all E-dek products are manufactured in an ISO 9001:2000 compliant factory certified by TUV Rheinland. (Certificate Reg. No. 01 100 084590)
