Wooden pallets can be made of softwood or hardwood. Hardwood pallets ensuring more stability for heavier loads.
Cardboard pallets or eco-pallets can have the same weight as a wooden pallet, but are more often used for lighter loads. Eco-pallets are an environmentally friendly option because they are made of cardboard and can be easily recycled.
Plastic pallets are made from recycled PET or new HDPE. The price of plastic pallets is almost double the price of wooden pallets.
Steel pallets are more expensive, but are ideal for heavier loads, such as carrying weapons, ammunition and equipment.
