Mini pallets are small plastic frames used to store and transport items like boxes and plants. They keep items off the ground and make lifting with pallet trucks safe. They are used in various environments and come in different sizes and shapes. They are ideal for lighter weight storage applications and are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and load capacities.

A mini pallet is a small round, square, or oblong frame typically made of plastic and used to safely store and transport items such as boxes and potted plants. The mini pallet serves the same purpose as its full-size warehouse sibling in that it keeps stored items off the ground and makes lifting with pallet trucks and hand trucks safe and easy. Mini pallets are used in a wide variety of environments including manufacturing plants, retail outlets and home warehouses. The mini pallet is available in a selection of sizes and shapes to suit a range of storage needs.

Pallet storage systems of all sizes serve the dual purpose of keeping stored items off the floor or shelf and making it easy to load with pallet trucks, forklifts or hand trucks. This rules out moisture damage or spillage and means goods don’t need to be maneuvered during lifting and transport. Pallets are usually flat frames with a ridge around the bottom surface leaving the bottom internal cavity. This allows the load bed of a hand truck or the load arms of a pallet truck to be inserted under the pallet and its load without having to lift, tip or move the goods. Full-size pallets typically store goods stacked on tiers such as beverage crates, cartons, bags of fertilizer or feed, and drums.

The mini pallet is typically intended for lighter weight storage applications in factories, retail outlets and the home. They can be ideal for storing stacks of cartons or boxes and are an ideal accessory for moving heavy potted plants. Many factories place goods as they leave the assembly or production lines on mini pallets to be moved to batch storage. Garden supply stores and plant nurseries often use mini pallets to store stacks of fertilizers, bags of seeds and plant food, heavy pots and decorative outdoor items. General retailers have also used the mini pallet to stack crates of sodas and canned goods in their stores.

These small containers are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and load capacities, thus making them practical and flexible storage accessories. Pallets come in square and oblong shapes suitable for general storage and round shapes ideal for stacking pots, drums or barrels. The average mini pallet has an area of ​​approximately 13 x 10 inches (350 x 260 mm) and a height of 1.5 inches (40 mm) with a load capacity of 500 to 1 lbs (000-226 kg). Most mini pallets are made from high-impact plastic, although wooden varieties are also quite common.
