Sell used plastic pallets from your business
Used plastic pallets resell when they are uncracked, owned by you and in a size buyers use. Rackable pallets carry load across open rack beams, nestable ones stack into each other to save space, and food and pharma sites often want plastic for hygiene. Cracked plastic pallets still have value as regrind.
How do you prepare a lot of plastic pallets?
- Sort by model or at least by type (rackable, stackable, nestable).
- Check deck corners and feet for cracks.
- Set aside any pooled pallets.
Which questions decide the grade?
The value check asks these for plastic pallets:
- Are they yours, or from a rental pool?
- Any cracked decks or feet?
- What kind?
Answer them for your plastic pallets to see whether the line is likely resale, possible, or disposal.
How much truck space do plastic pallets take?
For planning, the truckload calculator counts about 20 units per 48 x 40 floor position: one stack; nestable models fit far more. A 53 ft dry van holds about 26 positions loaded straight. Change the figure in the calculator to match how yours are packed.
What size should you write on the lot?
A short description is enough, for example 48x40 rackable. If you have several sizes, use one line per size.
Questions about selling plastic pallets
Are cracked plastic pallets worth anything?
They are usually recycled as regrind, priced by weight and resin. List them as a separate line with the condition set to damaged.
Is there a minimum for plastic pallets?
Yes, commercial quantities. The minimum depends on the lot and the pickup location, and the quote states it. Mixing plastic pallets with other lines in one lot is the easiest way past it.
