Digipal Plastic Pallet FAQs
Are Digipal Plastic Pallets better than wooden ones?
Digipal’s Plastic Pallets are a more sustainable and more environmentally friendly alternative to wooden pallets. Digipal’s range of pallets has been designed to handle the toughest of supply chains, tested to a BS8611 standard to handle consistent weight loading time after time.
How are Digipal Plastic Pallets cheaper than wooden ones?
Digipal Plastic Pallets are more cost-effective because of how we manage the pool. Digipal charges a ‘trip’ fee when customers are using the pallet for a single use – this ‘trip’ price is often far less than the cost to purchase a wooden pallet. We also save our customers in storage, admin and capex fees by supplying the exact amount of pallets they need when they need them.
Are Digipal Plastic Pallets better for the environment?
Digipal’s Plastic Pallets are made from 100% recyclable materials, they are manufactured with a long hard-working life in mind with use cases showing well over 250 cycles before any repair is needed.
Even at the end of their life each pallet can be recycled and made into a new pallet an infinite number of times making it very environmentally friendly and a low-impact carbon emission emitter.
How durable are Digipal Plastic Pallets?
The lifespan of a Digipal Plastic Pallet is longer than that of its wooden counterpart, the Digipal pallet has been known to last well over 250 rotations before needing any repair, compared to a wooden pallet that is on average around 4 rotations.
Digipal’s Plastic Pallets are less likely to require maintenance, easier to clean and less susceptible to material degradation – which can lead to splinters and other hazardous breakages.
Digipal’s Plastic Pallets can be used time and time again.
How are Digipal Plastic Pallets made?
Digipal’s injection moulding process involves heating & injecting high-density polyethylene material under pressure into a closed metal mould tool.
The molten plastic cools & hardens into the shape inside the mould tool, which then opens to allow the mouldings to be ejected.
How long do you expect a Digipal Plastic Pallet to last?
Here at Digipal, based on real-life experience and data we have pallets that are lasting well over 250 cycles.
The number of movements a year will determine the number of years a pallet will last.
How much weight can a Digipal Plastic Pallet hold
Digipals Plastic Pallets come with a BS 8611 testing certificate meaning they have been tested to the highest level of safety standards – our customers can carry with confidence when loading their products onto our solutions. Plastic pallets are split into three categories when specifying weight handling.
- Static – Floor loading weight
- Dynamic – Moving weight
- Racking – Open two beam weight
Because of their versatility, Digipal pallets can come with different options but as a standard, they perform:
- Static – 7500kg
- Dynamic – 2500kg
- Racking – 1250kg
What is the difference between static and dynamic load capacity?
Static load is where the pallet is stationary and not being moved. Let’s say you want to keep a very heavy item off the floor and crane it onto the pallet. The Digipal pallet can take 7.5 tonnes in weight. The dynamic load is moving weight and this is where you can physically pick the load up with the pallet, for most of the Digipal range this is 2.5 tonnes.
What special features do Digipal Plastic Pallets have over wood?
The Digipal range is manufactured with the operator in mind.
- Lighter than a wooden pallet
- Unique ‘anchoring system’ to lock plastic crates to the top deck
- Non-slip inserts to avoid slipping on forklift tines
- Nesting feature means 66% space saving

What’s the difference between good plastic and bad plastic?
Good plastics are those that can be recycled, used an infinite amount of times and have a positive impact on the environment, such as the plastics we use in our Digipal Plastic Pallets. These are 100% recyclable which means at the end of their hard working life they are recycled into new plastic pallets, crates or boxes.
Bad plastics are those that are difficult or impossible to recycle and although recycling processes have gotten better, often the term recycling means recycled to energy recovery (the plastic is burned to create energy).
