5 Popular Items Sent On Pallets

If you are shipping or receiving a large or heavy item, it’s likely that it will be sent on a pallet. Pallets are the best way to ensure that these items are easy to move around, keeping the delivery simple and stress free. It’s also far cheaper than most people imagine too. Here are some of the most popular items that are transported on pallets.

Washing Machines

Washing machines are always sent on pallets because they are incredibly heavy. The reason for this is that washing machines actually have concrete blocks in their base. This is used to ensure that they don’t move during spin cycles.

Car Parts And Engines

Car parts and engines are another product that is commonly sent on a pallet. The average engine for a small car will weigh about 350 pounds or 160kg. For a larger car, an engine can weigh as much as 272kg or 600 pounds.

Sports Equipment

Sports equipment comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and is almost always heavy. It will usually include weights with individual sets being about 10KG each. Pallets provide an easy way to transport these.

Electronic Equipment

TVs are certainly not as heavy as they used to be. While a TV can vary they will usually weigh a few hundred pounds depending on the size. Other equipment such as stereos can weigh far more.

Glass Or Bricks

Finally, glass or bricks will always be delivered on a pallet. This ensures heavy individual pieces of prick and glass can all be moved at the same time.
