Weitian has now validated that its 45.2” x 46.8” WT® plastic pallet has approximately 36 times the life span of a 45.2” x 46.8” whitewood stringer pallet, according to a recent study. Researchers from the Virginia Tech Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design used the center’s FasTrack life-cycle analysis to compare relative durability. In testing, the WT plastic pallet completed the sequence 400 cycles without failure, while the wood pallet’s average failure was after 11 cycles. The FasTrack life-cycle analysis simulates rough handling of palletized unit loads, using a multi-step handling sequence.
