The Vestil PLPS-4840 plastic pallet and skid has combined design elements of both a pallet and a skid, providing 4-way entry for fork trucks (or forklifts), and 2-way entry for pallet trucks (or pallet jacks), and it is made of polyethylene for longer life than most pallet wood, and has a uniform supported capacity of 4,000 pounds. It includes anti-slide grommets to help keep pallets from sliding off forks and each other during transit, and is stackable for efficient storage.

*H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back. A skid is a pallet with no bottom deck, allowing the wheeled forks of a pallet jack to roll underneath the load for transport. Pallets are primarily used for the distribution and storage of individual items (which may be of various sizes) combined into a uniformly sized unit load for efficiency. Plastic pallets typically weigh less than wooden pallets, which can help save on transportation and labor costs when used in bulk. Plastic pallets are often used for export, because they are exempt from International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15) testing, which is intended to reduce the shipping-related spread of disease and insects that could negatively affect plants and ecosystems. Vestil manufactures materials handling equipment, including hoists and trolleys, jib and gantry cranes, loading dock equipment, and storage solutions. The company, founded in 1968, is headquartered in Angola, IN.

The Vestil PLP2-4840-BLUE polyethylene pallet is a platform that has grid-shaped decks and fork openings on all four sides, can be used to support and transport goods, can be lifted using a pallet truck or forklift truck (sold separately), and is blue in color. The pallet is made of polyethylene, which won't splinter like wood can, may be wiped clean, and is resistant to dents and corrosion. Fork openings on all four sides allow the pallet to be accessed with a pallet truck or forklift truck from any side. The grid-shaped decks allow liquid to drain. Two or more pallets can be stacked for storage. This pallet may be available in other colors, allowing different types of loads to be identified and segregated in a warehouse or stockroom. This pallet has a static load capacity of 6,600 lb. and a dynamic load capacity of 2,200 lb., weighs 38 lb., and measures approximately 6 x 48 x 40 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) Each fork opening measures 4 x 9-3/4 inches (H x W). This product is intended for use in professional and industrial environments.Pallets are low platforms that can support heavy loads, and that can be lifted and transported using a pallet truck or forklift truck. Pallets can be made of wood, polyethylene, steel, aluminum, cardboard, or other materials. Loads may be bundled and secured to the pallet using straps or stretch wrap. Four-way pallets can be lifted and moved with a pallet truck or forklift truck from any side. Pallets may be color-coded for identifying and segregating different types of loads, or to indicate load capacity. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recognizes six standard pallet sizes, with the most common size in North America being 48 x 40 inches (W x D). Pallets without a bottom deck are called skids. Pallets can be used in warehouses, stockrooms, manufacturing and shipping facilities, and other industrial environments.Vestil manufactures materials handling equipment, including hoists and trolleys, jib and gantry cranes, loading dock equipment, and storage solutions.
