Cons Of Pallet Sofas
These pallets are nice, but timber usually tolerates bacterial growth, making them unsuitable for transporting food products. It can cause health hazards, and this is dangerous.
As much as these pallets have their benefits, they are not fireproof; hence, you will incur huge losses in case of a fire outbreak in your warehouse or container. These pallets are also prone to water damages; hence, they can rot when exposed to water or moisture and humidity.
These pallets have a rough surface; hence, you can’t clean them easily once they get stained. This makes these pallets unsuitable materials for transportation of chemicals or colored substances, e.g., detergents.
Wooden pallets are commonly used in the shipping business, and they have some hygiene regulations. The pallets host many insects, plants, mold, or fungus when it gets damp. That can cause some diseases, and the treatment is costly.
When you have these pallets as part of your applications, they leave dusty residues behind. When these wood chips crack, they can fall on surfaces, and this leaves your warehouse or factory dusty. The wood particles can be a threat, especially if you have a food production factory.
Wooden pallets sometimes have protruding timber/ nails on their surface, putting the workers at risk. The nails may damage packaged goods; if you have an animal feeds factory and place these sacks on such a pallet, they will get torn. That’s how your animal feeds will pour, and this can lead to losses.
These pallets have a shorter life span than other types of pallets; for instance, metal and plastic pallets last longer. In the long run, these pallets need replacement.
