MAUSER Group has launched a new pallet design for its MAUSER SM IBC Series. Building on the success of its composite pallet design introduced more than a decade ago, the completely redesigned pallet concept comes with pallet blocks made from recycled plastics in combination with a metal tube frame construction supporting a metal pan.
“The initial MAUSER SM IBC composite pallet design using pallet blocks from recycled plastic instead of sheet metal became an industry benchmark in IBC pallets more than a decade ago,” said Marc Loeffler, head of technical service, Europe at MAUSER Group. “The superior corrosion resistance of the plastic drip pan and the strength of the plastic blocks in day-to-day handling make this pallet design a favorite versus full-metal pallets. Last but not least, it is the modular design concept and the possibility to exchange damaged parts that make the composite pallet the preferred container option in terms of reconditioning and reuse of IBCs. Knowing well about the benefits when combining steel and recycled plastic, there was no doubt that our now completely redesigned SM13 pallet would build on the advantages experienced by the market for such a long time.”
Different from the standard IBC pallet design, the new MAUSER SM13 composite pallet no longer comes with a heavy central traversal support. A lighter yet stiffer trapezoid tube frame structure directly connected to the pallet’s metal base ring increases robustness and handling performance.
