Heat
Treatment

Palletwest goes beyond supplying a wide range of heat-treated pallets that meet international shipping standards; we also offer heat treatment as a specialised service.

Our meticulous treating process involves heating the wood to a core temperature that kills pests and pathogens, ensuring each pallet is safe for cross-border transport.

This makes our heat-treated wooden pallets and skids, as well as our heat treatment services, the ideal choice for businesses involved in exporting goods.

Why Palletwest’s Heat-Treated Pallets
Are Your Superior Option

Palletwest offers specialised heat treatment services that ensure your pallets meet all international compliance and certification requirements, making them an ideal solution for export shipping, warehouse storage and distribution.

The advantages don’t end there. Our heat treatment process delivers a wide range of additional benefits, including:

Pest and Disease Control
Our heat treatment process eliminates insects, larvae, and fungi that could be present in the wood, preventing the spread of pests across borders. Using our heat-treated pallets and skids also eradicates pathogens and prevents the transmission of plant diseases, protecting both the environment and agricultural sectors.
Durability and Strength
Our heat treatment process enhances the strength and durability of wood by eliminating fungi, helping to prevent decay. By reducing the wood's moisture content, it becomes less prone to swelling or shrinking, which significantly improves the structural integrity of your pallets, and extends their lifespan.
Lightweight and Cost-Effective
The lightweight design of our heat-treated skids reduces shipping costs. This makes our service an excellent, cost-effective solution for businesses aiming to minimise freight expenses while maintaining quality and compliance.
Environmentally Friendly
We don’t use environmentally harmful chemicals when heat treating our pallets and skids, making them safer for the environment and workers handling the pallets.

Heat-treated pallets and skids FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is heat treatment necessary for pallets and skids?

Heat treatment is necessary to prevent the spread of invasive pests and diseases across borders.

It ensures compliance with international phytosanitary standards (ISPM-15), facilitating smooth customs clearance and reducing the risk of shipment rejections.

What is ISPM-15, and why is it important?

ISPM-15 is a global standard that regulates wood packaging material used in international trade.

Compliance with ISPM-15 is important because it prevents the spread of pests and diseases, protecting global ecosystems and agricultural industries.

How can I identify a heat-treated pallet or skid?

Heat-treated pallets and skids are stamped with a certification mark that includes the IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) logo, the country code, a unique producer code, and the "HT" (Heat Treated) designation.

This mark ensures the pallet or skid complies with ISPM-15 standards.

Can heat-treated pallets and skids be reused?

Yes, heat-treated pallets and skids are durable and can be reused multiple times. Their enhanced strength and resistance to decay make them a cost-effective and sustainable packaging solution.

Is Palletwest certified to heat treat all wooden products to ISPM15?

Absolutely! In fact, Palletwest has its own heat treatment facility on site. In addition to being certified to heat treat all wooden products to ISPM15, we can also heat treat goods that have already been manufactured or bought elsewhere - for example, this includes pallets, crates, dunnage, gluts and timber.
