5 OUTSTANDING ADVANTAGES OF METAL PALLETS AS COMPARED TO WOODEN PALLETS WORKING WITH ASRS EQUIPMENT Wooden pallets are not designed for the Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) environment because they rack out of the square, whereas, metal pallets are suited for working in the ASRS environment. These pallets work smoothly on the conveyor belts.
SAFETY Wood pallets offer lower safety as compared to metal pallets. These pallets are easily contaminated and breakable. Wood pallets also cause splinters and protruding nails. Metal pallets offer excellent safety. Basically, metal pallets such as steel and aluminum are rust-resistant through the entire thickness of the material. They are corrosion-resistant in harsh environment.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE Wooden pallets can be easily repaired and maintained. However, metal pallets offer long-term durability than wooden pallets. These pallets are virtually maintenance-free and come with a certain number of years of guarantee from the manufacturers.
CLEANLINESS Metal pallets are easy to clean and excellent for all cleanroom applications. On the other hand, due to frequent breakages, splinters, harbor bugs, fungus wood pallets are never preferred for a clean environment storage solution.
CLIMATIC IMPACT Metal pallets are strong enough to withstand the rigors of tough environments. They are quite adaptable to any climatic condition except for hot climate. However, at mild and low temperature they offer good resistance. Wooden pallets stiffen in cold climatic condition; however, you can’t see any changes in these pallets in mild and hot weather conditions.
FIRE HAZARD The metal pallet will not burn which means they are completely fireproof. The wood pallet can easily burn and add as a fuel to the fire.
