The pallet base is the structural foundation of every composite IBC, and a damaged or corroded pallet compromises the safety of the entire container. Our replacement IBC pallets restore full structural integrity to your totes at a fraction of the cost of buying new containers. We stock three material options to match your operational requirements: galvanized steel pallets offer the highest load capacity and longest service life, making them the standard choice for industrial and chemical applications; HDPE plastic pallets provide excellent chemical resistance and will never rust or corrode, ideal for food processing and clean-room environments; and wood pallets serve as an economical option for single-trip shipments or applications where container weight is a concern. All pallets conform to the industry-standard 40" x 48" footprint and feature 4-way forklift entry for easy handling from any direction. Our steel and plastic pallets are fully stackable, supporting up to 4 filled IBCs high when properly secured. Integrated drainage channels and optional drain plugs allow for spill collection and washdown, keeping your facility clean and compliant. Every pallet is manufactured to fit standard composite IBC bottles from Schuetz, Mauser, Greif, and other major producers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which pallet fits my IBC?
The vast majority of composite IBCs use a standardized 40" x 48" (1000 mm x 1200 mm) pallet base. This dimension is universal across Schuetz, Mauser, Greif, and most other manufacturers. If your IBC is a non-standard size or a specialty model, contact us with the brand and model number and we can confirm compatibility before you order.
Can I replace a steel pallet with a plastic one?
In most cases, yes. HDPE plastic pallets share the same 40" x 48" footprint and mounting points as steel pallets, so the IBC bottle and cage will seat correctly. However, be aware that plastic pallets have a slightly lower stacking capacity than steel. If you stack IBCs more than 2 high, verify that the plastic pallet is rated for your total stacked weight.
What causes IBC pallet failure?
The most common causes of IBC pallet failure are corrosion from chemical spills or outdoor exposure (steel pallets), impact damage from forklifts striking the runners, overloading beyond the rated dynamic or static capacity, and UV degradation from prolonged sun exposure (plastic pallets). Regular inspection and prompt replacement of damaged pallets prevents container collapse and potential spill incidents.
Do your steel pallets come galvanized?
Yes. All of our steel IBC pallets are hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A123 standards. The zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor storage environments. For highly corrosive chemical environments, we also offer stainless steel pallet options upon request.
Are wood IBC pallets reusable?
Wood pallets can be reused if they are in good structural condition, but they are more commonly used for single-trip or export shipments. Unlike steel and plastic, wood pallets can absorb chemicals and moisture, which may compromise their strength over time. All our wood pallets are heat-treated and stamped to ISPM-15 standards for international shipping compliance.
