Cradle Pallets

If you’re transporting fragile, heavy, rolled or cylindrical equipment, then instability can mean damage, delays and safety issues. We design and manufacture durable and high-quality cradle pallets here at PEC Packaging, which specifically eliminate that movement.

Each cradle pallet is built around load, creating a secure base that holds cylindrical, rolled, coiled or uneven products firmly in place from dispatch.

Cradle pallets must match the diameter, weight and handling method. We design every pallet to prevent rolling during transit, distribute weight evenly, withstand lifting, stacking and long distance transport and integrate with strapping and export packing.

Cradle Pallets Manufactured for Transport

Cradle pallet failures are most likely to happen when in transit due to sudden movement, vibration or improper restraint. Our cradle pallets are manufactured with transport in mind. We consider:

• forklift handling and load balance
• road, sea and air freight stresses
• load securing points and also strapping positions
• compatibility with export packing

This is important on longer transit or when transferred between multiple transport methods as each handover can mean additional risk. A correctly designed cradle pallet reduces that risk by keeping the load secure throughout.

We also manage packing and freight, which is why we design cradle pallets for the full journey.

Cradle Pallets With Heavy Duty Timber Construction

A cradle pallet is used when heavy, awkward or high-value loads need to be assured to arrive protected and intact, which is why we use high-quality timber to manufacture every cradle pallet here at PEC Packaging, ensuring they are capable of supporting anything from small fabricated parts to large industrial parts.

Depending on your specific requirements, cradle pallets can be produced with reinforced structures for higher load capacities. Where needed, additional blocking, bracing or multi cradle layouts can be incorporated to support longer or multiple parts.

We support projects in sectors such as engineering, construction, energy and also manufacturing.

Fully Compliant ISPM 15 Heat Treated Cradle Pallets

If you’re looking for cradle pallets specifically for international transport, we can supply ISPM 15 heat-treated cradle pallets to ensure you are compliant with import regulations without delay.

These pallets are treated using a controlled heat process that meets ISPM 15 regulations, which means the wood has been heat-treated to eliminate pests, which is needed to prevent spreading across borders.

Cradle Pallet Design and Manufacturing Process

When manufacturing cradle pallets, we will start with understanding dimensions, weight and how it needs to be handled are reviewed before anything is designed and manufactured. From there the cradle profile and pallet structure are set out to ensure the load is properly supported and remains stable when lifted, moved and also transported.

Once agreed, the cradle pallets are then manufactured using the appropriate timber and construction method. If packing is part of the requirement, the cradle pallet will be built as part of the overall packing process rather than as a separate item.

We can also handle the full export process, including:

• Packing Solutions

• Protective Pallet Wrapping

• Freight Forwarding

• Project Management

Why Choose PEC Packaging for Cradle Pallets?

At PEC Packaging, we provide our customers with expert support, competitive pricing and high-quality cradle pallet products. We design and manufacture all of our cradle pallets in house, so the same team that understands the load also controls how it’s built. Because we also handle packing and freight, we see how loads behave during transit from lifting, loading and restraint, which informs how our cradle pallets are specified and manufactured.

Everything is built on site, so cradle pallets can be adjusted to suit the specification needed, and we can also offer a fixed range of standardised sizes.

Fast Cradle Pallet Lead Times

All cradle pallets are manufactured at our Liverpool facility, giving us full control over build quality and lead times. We respond quickly to project requirements, whether you need a one-off cradle pallet or

ongoing support. We can also coordinate production alongside packing and shipping schedules to keep your projects moving.
