2. Environmental protection, steel pallets can be recycled and reused, and resources are not wasted.
3.The surface is treated with anti-skid treatment, with stable packaging performance;

In terms of corrosion resistance, plastic pallets is better than steel pallets.When the pallets is used to carry meat, fish, or other perishable food, or toxic chemical dangerous goods, the pallets must be destroyed comply with the regulations, steel pallets are easy to corrode, but plastic pallets can be used again as long as they are rinsed with clean water or disinfected.
In terms of moisture resistance, plastic pallets are excellent.
The steel pallets are easy to absorb moisture, and its metal material makes it easy to rust and corrode after absorbing water;While plastics such as PE\PP used in plastic pallets have good moisture resistance, so they will not absorb moisture and will not rot.
