Plastic Slipsheets
The Practical Alternative to Wood Pallets
Eliminate wood pallet problems by utilizing cost cost-efficient plastic slip sheets from Universal Container. Slip sheets work with a simple attachment to a forklift, and can save your company time, space, product damage, and of course money!
Made primarily of recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE), Universal Container Plastic Slipsheets are designed to replace or supplement wood pallets in transportation and warehouse applications and are the reusable, recyclable answer to the high cost of shipping and storage.
At Universal Container, we can customize a sheet to meet your specifications, including your load size, weight, and application requirements. Further, we implement our rigorous quality control program through each step of the materials acquisition, manufacturing and shipping process. You will always receive the highest quality slipsheets that precisely meet your needs.
Every high quality Universal Container Slip Sheet is manufactured with our exclusive Sure-Grip laminated surface to hold any load firmly in place. And handling is still a breeze! This surface has a lower coefficient friction, allowing the sheet to slide more easily than a traditionalpallet. Easier handling and a stronger grip means fewer damaged loads and more money saved for you.
