Hygienic Food Grade Pallets

Beecraft UK Ltd’s range of Hygienic plastic pallets are ideal for food, pharmaceutical and other industries where hygiene is of the utmost importance.
They are available in a range of sizes and have been designed to meet the most stringent of hygiene requirements. Their water-resistant composition makes them impervious to moisture, weak acids and alkalis and allows them to be repeatedly washed and steam cleaned either manually or with an automated system with no damage to their structure.
There are no nails, sharp edges, splinters or areas where dirt and dust can collect so surfaces remain contaminant-free and their hygienic and smooth surfaces are free from impurities.
Their 4-way entry system allows for easy forklift or pallet truck entry from all four sides of the pallet and their rounded corners ensure shrink or pallet wrap can be easily applied.

Two specification decisions that decide everything

Material. Reclaimed plastic performs as well mechanically as virgin and costs less, but the input stream cannot be traced. For direct food contact, virgin HD-PE is the correct specification — and this is a documentation requirement, not a performance claim. An auditor will ask about traceability, not about load capacity.

Racking. Hygienic pallets are moulded plain and closed so they can be cleaned and, more importantly, so cleanliness can be demonstrated. That smooth geometry removes the ribs a normal industrial pallet uses for stiffness, so most plain hygienic pallets are rated only a few hundred kilograms in beam racking however high their static figure looks.

Where both hygiene and racking are required, metal-reinforced builds carry a genuine racked rating. Where pallets are floor stacked and washed constantly, nine-foot designs give four-way entry and the least floor contact.

Silver grey is widely used across the range as a zoning control, keeping hygiene-area pallets visually distinct from general stock.
