Pallets, also called transport pallets, are used globally for the safe transport and storage of stackable goods. There are different materials from which pallets are made: for example wood, plastic, corrugated cardboard and sheet metal. The most common are pallets made of wood. Disposable pallets are usually made of cheap softwoods – the boards and squared timber are simply nailed or screwed together. One of the best known is the euro-pallet with standardized dimensions and materials. WEIMA offers suitable shredding machines for all types of pallets.
