The Advantages of Plastic Pallets for mining opreations

In the challenging mining areas of Australia, stretching from the Pilbara to Queensland, and across the vast steppes of Central Asia, there is a growing shift from conventional wooden pallets and logistics platforms to innovative plastic alternatives. These cutting-edge plastic pallets, crates, and containment systems provide enhanced durability and safety, which are essential for the tough conditions prevalent in mining settings.

Primary Benefits Over Traditional Wood:

• Pest Resistance: Plastic pallets and crates effectively prevent the risk of insect infestation, a major issue in termite-prone regions like Queensland and Western Australia.

• Safer Handling of Hazardous Materials:

• Leak-Proof Designs: To prevent costly and hazardous spills, our chemical-resistant IBCs and bunded pallets securely contain dangerous substances like acids, solvents, and drilling fluids.

  
  

  

• Non-Absorbent Surfaces: Effortless to Clean, Guaranteed Sanitary. The non-porous HDPE surface doesn't trap toxic substances, allowing for a quick wipe-down that eliminates cross-contamination.

A Comprehensive Range of Products for Mining Operations:

Plastic logistics solutions can be customized to fit specific mining processes:

• Exporting Bulk Materials and Heavy Loads: Reinforced plastic mining pallets are crafted to withstand the substantial weight of bulk materials, like powders and concentrates, packaged in Jumbo Bags (FIBCs). These palletized systems provide a reliable and efficient solution for storage, transportation, and exportation.

• Sample Integrity, Secured: Our sealable crates and totes protect the integrity of your valuable field samples from site to lab.

• Leak-Proof Designs: Stop costly spills. Our robust IBCs and bunded pallets provide secure containment for acids, solvents, and other hazardous materials.

Enhanced Bulk Material Handling for Export:

Our comprehensive approach to plastic packaging ensures compliance and boosts efficiency for mineral exports.

• FIBC Unitization: We pack powders and mineral concentrates into Jumbo Bags (FIBCs), then place them on anti-slip plastic pallets to ensure stability.

• Containerized Shipping: The standardized dimensions of pallets facilitate efficient stacking and optimize space usage within shipping containers, reducing the risk of material loss during port handling.

Reasons for Industry Transition:

• Cost-Effectiveness: Plastic systems can significantly lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) when compared to wood-based options.

• Regulatory Compliance: These systems assist in adhering to regulations like Australia’s Dangerous Goods Code.

• Eco-Friendly Choice: Our logistics products are recyclable. Instead of ending up in a landfill, they are repurposed to create new products, minimizing environmental impact.
