OCONOMOWOC, Wis. - ORBIS Corporation, a subsidiary of Menasha Corporation, offers a 40.0” x 48.0” x 5.0” plastic pallet designed specifically for international trade. This nestable pallet is exempt from ISPM 15* regulations and fully eliminates the need for heat-treated wood pallets currently required for international shipments.
The 40 x 48 CICP pallet provides an environmental, lightweight alternative to wood pallets used for the import and export of goods. The all-plastic, one-piece nestable design cannot harbor pests, mold or fungus.
This nestable, open deck pallet weighs 13 pounds and offers the necessary strength-to-weight ratio for a one-way shipping pallet. Its efficient nest-ratio of 3.3:1 allows 1,980 pallets to in a standard 53’ trailer. A new stackable version is now available that enables secure double stacking.
According to Marc Brandt, ORBIS Product Manager, “By design, this pallet offers consistent tare weights, aiding check-in at the first port of entry. And, because it requires no documentation, it speeds the customs process and reduces risk of rejection.” This pallet is also manufactured using recyclable materials. Brandt continues, “Nearly 100% of the content is recoverable and available for use in new pallets.”
This pallet provides an environmental alternative to wood pallets and is fully recyclable at the end of its service life. The 40 x 48 CICP offers an open, flow-through deck for easy cleaning; contoured corners and smooth edges for easy handling; 4-way forklift or handjack entry; optional runners for secure double stacking; optional closed deck and unique non-skid surface that prevents product shift during transport.
