More businesses are doing their part to reduce landfill waste by switching from wood pallets to steel stack racks from Tier-Rack Corporation.

Traditional wood pallets have become an expensive environmental problem for many companies. Once a board on the pallet is broken, the whole pallet is often unusable and must be thrown in the trash. If products are shipped out on wood pallets the added cost of the pallet reduces the profitability of the operation. This leads businesses to purchase the least expensive pallet available, which in turn guarantees that the pallet will not last for a long time.

Tier-Rack Corporation offers steel stacking pallets that will last for years, if not decades. Many customers have found that they can save money by having these stacking racks returned from their customers so the same pallet can be used over and over. The stackers allow the company to stack four or five loads with no danger of damage to the bottom load. The corner posts of the stacking pallet can then be removed for shipment or during storage in house when not in use.

Often, the portable stacking pallets can be used as shipping racks to increase the amount of product that can be shipped to customers in a truck. The side posts offer protection for the product being shipped, and a second level of product may be placed on top of the lower stack pallet.

Stacking pallets from Tier-Rack also offer many benefits when not used for shipping products. The use of steel stack racks means that there is no wood debris from broken pallets in the warehouse. The stack racks can easily hold heavy or awkwardly shaped loads. The sturdy stackable pallets will last for years. And, if they are ever damaged, the steel in the stacker pallet is fully recyclable.
