Chemical Pallets

Cherry’s Material Handling Can Meet Your CP Supply Needs

Cherry’s Industrial is a leading CP supplier to small and medium-sized chemical manufacturing and distribution operations. Our chemical pallets stand up to heavy use and can withstand exposure to chemicals and environmental conditions. These CP pallets are molded from chemical resistant high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that will not splinter, reducing the time and expense spent on maintenance and replacing damaged or corroded wood pallets.

Choose from 40” x 48”, 42"x 48” and 48" x 48” standard pallet sizes in USDA-approved or recycled plastic materials. These chemical pallets have four-way forklift access and two-way access for pallet jacks. We offer a choice of rackable, stackable, and drum pallets to meet virtually any material handling application. Available racking capacities range from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds  We can also offer options in colored pallets based on your requirements.

Some of our more popular chemical storage pallet options include:

• HDSC Stackable: The stackable 40” x 48” HDSC works well with conveyors and other forms of automated material handling equipment. This chemical pallet offers the flexibility for two-way pallet jack and four-way forklift access. The sturdy molded structural foam construction provides a static lift capacity of 30,000 pounds, making it ideally suited for heavy-duty load storage and transport applications. The HDPE plastic material offers excellent chemical resistance, while the double face design allows for easier cleaning.
• HDSC Drum: The four-drum HDSC chemical pallet offers a hygienic material handling solution for industries such as food processing, chemical manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. Four recessed rings allow secure placement of 55-gallon drums. The innovative flow-through design permits the natural flow of air during storage or transport. The HDSC stackable chemical pallets are FDA- and USDA-approved for a hygienic option capable of standing up to your heavy loads.
• RCKO Rackable: The 40” x 48” RCKO provides the strength, durability and hygiene required for industries such as food handling, meat and poultry and pharmaceuticals. Designed for fast, efficient cleanup, the RCKO is easy to sanitize after each use. It can accommodate edge-supported rack loads of up to 2,200 pounds, while also enabling direct pallet truck and forklift accessibility. Like our other CP storage pallets, the RCKO can accommodate four-way forklift or pallet jack entry for optimal versatility and convenience.

Health and Safety Benefits of Using Sanitary Pallets for Chemicals

When your facility is considering how to transport chemicals safely and needs a reliable method for the safe storage of chemical products, whether in sacks, cans, drums, cardboard boxes, octabins or flexible intermediate bulk containers, Cherry's chemical pallets offer ideal solutions.

Our pallets are some of the safest chemical transportation pallets on the market because they help resist many of the 86,000 chemicals manufactured or processed in the United States, and they provide numerous health and safety benefits. Below are some of the health and safety-related benefits of using sanitary pallets for chemicals:

1. Straightforward Cleaning and Sanitizing

Chemical pallets are designed for quick and easy cleaning and sanitizing. Unlike the uneven, porous surfaces of wooden pallets, the smooth plastic surfaces are easy to wash — they contain no cracks for dirt and contaminants to cling to.

Your facility will need to have reliable, practical protocols for cleaning chemical pallets, and fortunately, the process is quick and efficient. Employees can wash pallets with soap and water, either by hand, with a pressure washer or using an industrial pallet washer to save time. You can also wipe or spray the pallets with a disinfectant for an extra sanitizing measure. Steam sterilization is also an option for hygiene-sensitive applications.

2. Superior Microbial Resistance

Sanitizable plastic chemical pallets also provide advantages for resisting the growth of bacteria and viruses. Their smooth surfaces offer few footholds for microorganisms, and their plastic construction rebuffs moisture — unlike wooden pallets, which absorb moisture readily, creating ideal breeding grounds for microbes. Plastic chemical pallets resist bacterial and viral contamination, so they help avoid product recalls and protect public health.

3. Low Likelihood of Disease Transmission

In a workplace that already houses a host of toxic chemicals, employees need the peace of mind of knowing the tools they need to do their jobs will help protect their health. Sanitizable chemical pallets help offer that reassurance. Since chemical pallets are so easy to clean and sanitize and inhospitable to microorganism growth, they pose very little threat of transmitting workplace bugs between employers or from employers to consumers.

4. Unique Chemical Resistance

Chemical pallets are specifically designed to resist the corroding effects of toxic chemicals, so they help prevent chemical safety hazards in the workplace, particularly in chemical-heavy industries like manufacturing, health care and pharmaceutical industries. Chemical pallets resist absorbing the substances they transport, even if a leak or spill occurs. As long as you wash them between uses, they provide effective protection against cross-contamination and the mixing of chemicals that pose hazards when combined.

5. Boosted Efficiency and Productivity in Safety-Conscious Chemical Industries

Especially in times of increased demand, your facility may worry about losing efficiency and productivity when prioritizing workplace health and safety. But, sanitizable chemical pallets help boost efficiency, productivity and safety all at once because they are so easy to clean. Their durability makes transporting and storing chemical loads easy and efficient, even as they help your facility maintain a sanitary working environment.
