Reduced Risk of Injury
Conventional whitewood stringer pallets are still widely used throughout the supply chain. But they are often in such poor condition that splintered boards and protruding nails create a real risk of employee injury. PECO's superior block pallets, however, are carefully maintained and repaired to eliminate those kinds of problems. PECO's sturdy block construction ensures that pallets can be safely stacked and loaded in high-reaching overhead racks. This reduces the risk of injury due to pallets (or products) falling from above. We also work closely with our customers to be sure PECO Pallets work smoothly in automated processing lines, avoiding equipment jams that might also lead to injury or product damage.
No Harmful Chemicals
PECO Pallets are built and repaired using 100% domestically sourced lumber and are kiln-dried to control infestation, mold, and moisture content. No chemical treatments or hazardous materials are ever used on PECO pallets. Lumber products used to construct and repair PECO pallets are rigorously inspected by an independent third party inspector. And because PECO only supplies the grocery and consumer goods marketplace within a controlled loop, our pallets are never used to transport industrial products or hazardous materials.
Regular Inspections
Each PECO Pallet is “turned” through our Service Network an average of 4-5 times per year. Each time a pallet is returned to the depot, it is cleaned, carefully inspected for contamination, and repaired as needed. These rigorous inspections ensure that PECO's standards of quality are maintained throughout each pallet's life-cycle.
