Franke’s Wood Products manufactures custom pallets that protect fragile goods, reduce inventory loss, and increase your company’s overall reliability. Continue reading to learn more about these pallets, how they’re utilized, and how you can reuse them for shipping to reduce overall freight costs.
Reusable and Recyclable Shock Pallets
Wood shock pallets are mostly made from wood and foam pieces. Wood is a sturdy material that can be reused for multiple uses and can be repaired multiple times, making it very sustainable. A majority of the materials used are pieces of wood, which are extremely recyclable. Working with a reusable material reduces the cost of continuously making custom pallets and crates. Reusable packaging is necessary for running a sustainable business that ships a significant amount of inventory. Wood pallets are recyclable in several ways. When a shock pallet is damaged, intact wood boards are used to replace and fix the damaged ones. The more damage a pallet has received, the more likely it is to be deconstructed. Undamaged, sturdy pieces of wood will be reused to repair other damaged pallets. When a shock pallet has been used multiple times, and the wood can no longer be repaired, parts are processed for recycling. Wood is ground up and utilized to make particle board, mulch, and other wood composite items. Wood crates can be recycled in the same ways. Crates can be repaired and used for multiple shipments, but eventually need to be taken apart and recycled. Parts from crates are used to repair others, or are broken down and recycled in other ways. Read below to learn more about how specialty pallets can reduce shock, vibrations, and damage to goods during shipping.
How Shock Pallets Are Made
Special pallets are designed and made to protect goods that could be damaged in shipping. These pallets absorb shock, vibrations, and impact that standard pallets would otherwise receive. Even when standard pallets are placed in custom crates, sudden drops, rattling, and general force during shipping can cause damage. Shock pallets are different from standard pallets because they have shock absorbing materials, like foam, built into the design. Anchor points can be added to the pallets so that products can be attached for additional stability. More sensitive goods like electronics, high-value parts, pharmaceuticals, and vehicle parts can be protected in shipping with these custom shock absorbing pallets. In these industries, the integrity of the products is extremely important, so the cost of custom shock pallets is well worth the investment.
How Do Shock Pallets Protect Inventory in Shipping
When shipping fragile or sensitive cargo on a pallet, using specialized shock absorbers reduces the chance that anything will shift or become damaged. Shock pallets have built-in shock absorbers made from high-density foam, which dampen any impacts or vibrations. The entire pallet is designed to custom fit the cargo, and cargo can be securely mounted to further reduce any chance of shifting. Custom crates can be made so pallets perfectly fit, reducing potential damage even more.
Industries That Utilize Shock Pallets
Shock pallets are designed and custom-made to dissipate any impacts, vibrations, and unexpected movements that would otherwise rattle the goods they’re carrying. Many industries that ship sensitive inventory benefit from these products that can reduce the chance of damage. The packaging is custom-designed and will fit custom wood crates perfectly to ensure maximum reduction of damage. Efficient shipping and logistics in some of these industries are vital. Pharmaceutical companies require pallets that keep sensitive equipment and tools perfectly safe. Shipping sensitive inventory with standard pallets can cause loss/damage incidents to increase, reducing supply chain efficiency. Many technology companies use shock pallets to move parts, computers, servers, and more. The aerospace industry requires shock absorbing pallets to protect fragile parts and mitigate potential damage. Shock pallets and custom wood crates play a vital role in ensuring these industries keep their cargo safe. Because shock pallets are sustainably made and can be repaired, they can be used for multiple shipments.

Pallets Reducing Shock for Server Racks
Server racks are shipped in custom-made pallets to reduce shock and keep the electronics safe. With foam built into the pallet, vibration is greatly damped to allow safe transport of the server rack. Even in situations where server racks are being shipped while empty, they are still susceptible to damage from physical force and sudden drops. Shock pallets provide stability, and server racks can be mounted to the base to prevent it from tipping. Custom crates are built to fit the shock pallets perfectly to minimize potential issues. Reducing the chance of damage and equipment replacements will keep customers satisfied and will strengthen your relationship with clients. Shipping reliability is extremely important, so delivering pallets safely and on time builds customer trust. We construct high-quality shock pallets with reinforced wood to ensure they are reusable for shipping multiple times. Contact us to have custom shock pallets made to ship your server racks and other fragile industry goods safely.
Custom Wooden Crates for Shock Pallets
Shock pallets made by Franke’s offer a reinforced wood base to ensure a strong foundation. We install shocks that are designed with high-density foam to dampen drops, jolts, and vibrations, keeping your items safe. We build floating load platforms that allow the cargo to shift slightly without adding stress to the load. These platforms are resting above the shock mounts to reduce any impacts. When making custom shock pallets, we can add straps, bolted fixtures, cleats, and blocking to ensure the pallet load is fully secure. We create completely custom shock pallets and crates to provide excellent protection for your cargo.
