You get what you pay for.

When it comes to wooden pallets, many buyers make decisions based solely on the price per unit. But no one talks about the true cost:
• Production delays
• Returns due to product damage
• Loss of merchandise due to pallet collapse
• Customer penalties or audits
And all to save a few dollars…
The hidden cost of a cheap platform
A cheap platform usually comes with:
• Untreated wood (risk of pests for export)
• Weak assembly or assembly without quality standards
• Absence of NOM-144 / NIMF-15 certification
• Variations in quality vs. what they initially promised
• Inability to support the actual weight of the operation
Result: damaged products, delays, loss of money and a bad image during audits.
Quality decking is not an expense; it's a strategic investment.
A well-designed industrial platform:
✅ Supports actual loads
✅ Designed according to your operation (rack, stacking, weight per level, dynamic weight)
✅ Reduce scrap and returns
✅ Optimizes upload and download times
✅ Allows export without risk of customs retention (NOM-144 / NIMF-15 certification)
