How Much Do Plastic Pallets Weigh?

The weight of a plastic pallet is one of the most important parameters that determine the quality of a plastic pallet. The weight of a plastic pallet determines the strength of the pallet, which is the maximum load capacity that the pallet can bear without breaking under its weight (you can click "How Much Weight Can a Plastic Pallet Hold" to learn more about the weight-bearing capacity of a plastic pallet). In addition, the weight of a plastic pallet also affects the load-bearing capacity of the pallet rack and the transportation costs of trucks, shipping containers and other means of transportation. In order to help companies better choose plastic pallets, today we will introduce the plastic pallet weight of Enlightening Pallet.

 

 

 

Plastic pallets are ideal for transporting and storing goods in many industries due to their durability, lightness, and ease of cleaning. Due to the wide variety of plastic pallets, today we will mainly introduce the weight of different plastic pallets from the classification of plastic pallets.

 

Lightweight Plastic Pallets:

These pallets are designed for single use or export and are often nestable, meaning they can be stacked efficiently to save space when not in use. These pallets typically weigh between 4-9 kg (8-20 lbs) and are ideal for industries looking to reduce shipping costs.

 

Lightweight Plastic Pallets	Size(mm)	Weight
	1000x800x150	4.5kg
	1100x900x140	6kg
	1100x1100x150	6.7kg
	1200x1000x140	6.2kg
	1200x1000x150	6.7kg

Standard Plastic Pallets:

The most common sizes, such as 1200x1000 mm or 48x40 inch pallets, typically weigh around 15-20 kg (33-44 lbs). These pallets are often used for multiple turnovers and are able to withstand heavy loads while maintaining durability.

 

Standard plastic pallet	Size(mm)	Weight
	1000x1000 x165	14.6 kg
	1100 x900x150	14.5kg
	1200x800x140	15.8kg
	1200x1000x150	17.8kg
	1200x1200x150	21.3kg

Heavy-duty Plastic Pallets:

Heavy-duty plastic pallets are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene and weigh between 20 and 30 kg (44-66 lbs). These pallets are designed to carry larger loads and are often used in racking systems or automated warehouses where strength and durability are critical.

 

Heavy Duty Plastic Pallets	Size(mm)	Weight
	1100x1100x150	18kg
	1200x1000x150	20.5 kg
	1200x1200x150	19 kg
	1500x1300x150	33.5kg

When purchasing wholesale plastic pallets, companies can choose according to the purpose. For example, when choosing a disposable export, a lightweight plastic pallet can reduce transportation costs due to its light weight. Heavy-duty plastic pallets, on the other hand, can be used for multi-layer stacking in warehouses or on shelves due to their heavy weight, saving warehouse space. Standard plastic pallets are moderately heavy and widely used, and can be used for general turnover and stacking.

 

 

 

The weight of a plastic pallet is mainly affected by many factors, such as material, size, and load steel pipe. The above are some common types, sizes, and weights of plastic pallets at Enlightening Pallet. If you have special needs, you can also contact us to customize the size and weight of plastic pallets.
