What makes a plastic pallet "food grade" or "food safe"?

A food grade pallet is manufactured from plastic resin that’s approved for contact with food products and won’t leach chemicals or harbor bacteria. Food safe goes a step further and covers how the pallet is maintained – Tosca pallets are washed and sanitized under ISO 22000, the food industry’s most rigorous safety program, between every use in the pool, so the pallet is verified clean each time it re-enters circulation, not just at the point of manufacture.

Can plastic pallets be used with conveyor systems and robotic palletizers?

Yes. In fact, plastic pallets are often the preferred choice for automated environments. Tosca’s heavy-duty plastic pallets are engineered to exact specifications, ensuring consistent performance with conveyor systems, ASRS, and robotic palletizers. Because they resist warping, splintering, and dimensional variation, they help minimize jams, product damage, and unplanned downtime, creating a more reliable automated operation.

What is the weight capacity of a Tosca heavy duty plastic pallet?

Capacity varies by pallet line – GMA-style and T-PAL™ rackable pallets are built to carry standard palletised food and retail loads through racking, transit, and automated handling without deflecting or cracking. Because load requirements differ by application (racked storage vs. floor stacking vs. in-transit), our team sizes the right pallet to your product weight and handling method rather than a single blanket spec. Contact us for a load-specific recommendation.

What are the advantages of plastic pallets over wooden pallets?

Plastic pallets don’t splinter, absorb moisture, or harbor bacteria the way wood can, which matters for food safety and automated handling alike. They also hold consistent dimensions over their lifespan (wood warps and breaks down), are easier to clean to ISO 22000 standards, and – when pooled with Tosca – remove the ongoing cost of repair, replacement, and disposal that comes with owning a wood pallet fleet.
