Please see the Beamish principle guide on how to get the most out of your pallets:
FIRSTLY - CHOOSE THE RIGHT PALLET.
When you come to Beamish for your recycled pallet we will consult with you to ensure that you are getting the correct pallet with the perfect specifications tailored to you. It is paramount that you select a pallet designed to be able to efficiently hold your intended item. Extremely heavy items and goods that have an odd and unusual shape should be transported using pallets that been designed with those products in mind. That being said' you will generally find that most of the standard pallet sizes should be appropriate. However, it is worth discussing whether or not a customised pallet might be appropriate with your supplier. Selecting the wrong design or shape can cause your pallets to become damaged and even break apart much more easily.
NEXT - CONSIDER USING HEAT TREATED PALLETS
Whilst treated pallets initially cost a little bit more money, we are certain that they will save you
much more money in the long run.
Here at
Beamish Recycled Pallets, we supply pallets that are heat treated. Untreated pallets can be weakened by damp and moisture, weather and harmful microorganisms, which will impact the pallets overall lifespan.
The heat treatment that we use at Beamish Recycling is the standard ISPM 15. If you would be interested on ordering these pallets then we are able to turn them around within 24 hours for your convenience

One of the most important and vunerable areas of the pallet is called the top-leading-edge boards. They are the boards that are closest to the end of the pallet and used for moving them around. Two ways in which you can make this section more durable is by ensuring that you use high-quality nails for their connections. Cheap, short nails and screws can make pallets much more likely to break.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING ON SAFETY AND HANDLING
Human error usually makes up the vast majority of pallet damage. The constant need to work quickly can lead to accidents that costs businesses time and money. By training your employees on how to handle wooden pallets properly and safely you can prevent pallet damage and reduce costs. Check out our blog post on pallet training and safety for more information on how you can up-skill your workforce.
10 YEAR LIFE SPAN
Our director Dennis and other leading figures in the pallet industry all agree that pallets should not be designed to last more than 10 years, because produce designs change, and as a result, so should the pallet
