Wooden Pallets

When you think of pallets, what’s the first thing you should think of? Well, usually people always see pallets when they see delivery trucks bringing goods to a store, or when they see forklifts lifting goods to the very highest shelves in warehouses. And there is a good reason for that. Pallets are the safest and most reliable means of transporting goods and produce down the various channels of distribution. A variety of factors make them desirable, such as the lightweight and durability of the wood, the free flow of fresh air through the gaps in pallets and the entry points that allow for stable and safe transport.

The variety of entry points and structure of pallets make them useful to many different applications. Forklifts and pallet jacks allow for easy horizontal and vertical movement of these wooden structures. Pallets are easily reusable and can save your business time and money.

A 2-Way design allows for a forklift to enter and lift the load from 2 sides while a 4-Way design allows a forklift to enter and lift a load from 2 sides and 2 ends. Each pallet design has its own advantages as well as disadvantages. However, the variety that Johannesburg Timber and Box has to offer means that your company can choose the perfect pallet to suit the needs of your products and services. Have a look at our wide range of wooden pallets and choose one that best suits your needs!

The different pallet structures are listed below for your convenience. Each pallet is excellent for different purposes and transport needs.
