Hygiene Test: UPAL-H underwent a hygiene test by the University of Applied Sciences Wädenswil, Switzerland, showing superior hygiene standards, ideal for food and pharmaceutical environments.
Load Capacities and Reinforcements: Detailed load capacities for each model under static, dynamic, and racked conditions are provided. Metal reinforcements are discussed for enhanced stability, especially in high-rack warehousing.
Design Features: Features like anti-slip coatings, elastomeric strips, and grip paint enhance load safety. Surface options include smooth and slotted decks, and safety edges.
Accessories: Information on accessories like stacking frames and covers is included, enhancing functionality in storage and transport.
Recommendations: Testing pallets before use is suggested to ensure they meet load and stability requirements, particularly with metal reinforcements.
Specifications: Various covers and lids for pallets are listed, with dimensions and compatibility. Key items include slip lids, adapter lids, and covers for different UPAL models.

Plastic or wood? Plastic pallets are not an economical alternative to wood pallets. Plastic pallets, however, have key advantages: they have a constant weight, are robust and durable, have a longer life than wooden pallets and, with metal reinforcing, are particularly sturdy and suitable for use in high-rack warehousing. If desired, plastic pallets can be produced in a version which is electrically conductive or equipped with a non-slip top deck. Fully enclosed pallets are easy to clean and are particularly suitable for the food, hygiene and clean room sectors. Utz pallets (UPAL) are available...

PALLETS The right pallet for every purpose: 1 Utz pallets load safety: Things can often slip on the smooth upper deck of a pallet. However, there is an anti-slip coating for our pallets: Elastomeric coating The elastomer coating on the top deck of the pallet consists of a 2-component polyurethane coating. Therefore, a rubber-like glossy surface with excellent non-slip properties is created. Elastomer-coated strips Grip paint or silica sand In this case, the elastomer coating is not applied over the entire surface, but distributed on two strips. An anti-slip effect is only possible, however, when...

UPAL-H Clean, sturdy and completely enclosed The UPAL-H is completely enclosed, therefore it is easy to clean and is often used in the food, hygiene and clean room sectors. With a reinforcement of metal tubes, the pallet is suitable for high-rack warehousing. Constant tare weight Runners increase safety when transporting by forklift. Internal ribbing Internal ribbing provides the UPAL-H with additional stability. Metal reinforcement Inlaid metal tubes inserted in the pallets increase stability. The UPAL-H is therefore suitable for high rack warehousing. Surfaces: smooth continuous safety edge...

The true hygienic pallet comes from Utz! The University of Applied Sciences Wädenswil/ Switzerland (Department of Foodstuffs Microbiology)* has tested the UPAL-H along with some of the most frequently used competitive plastic pallets in an independent test to examine their hygienic quality. All plastic pallets made especially for the food and pharmaceutical industry (with flat and slotted surface) were inoculated at a number of defined points with 6 test micro-organisms (escherichia coli, saccharomyces cerevisiae, aspergillus niger, pseudomonas fluorescens, bacillus cereus spores and staphylococcus...
