Solid Fiber Sheets: The Perfect Alternative to Wood Pallets
Standard wood pallets are widely used, but they’re not always the most practical option for moving products. They’re bulky, heavy, and can cause damage with protruding nails and splinters. They’re also a logistics consideration for operations shipping export loads without return pallets.
Solid fiber push-pull slip sheets provide a smarter alternative. Thin and cost-effective, they feature scored tabs for easy handling by hand or with a clamp truck. At just 1/20th the weight of a wooden pallet, they save storage space, reduce shipping weight, and deliver impressive strength and puncture resistance, thanks to their durable virgin fiber construction.

FAQs
Push-Pull Sheets FAQs
What are push-pull slip sheets, and how do they work?
Push-pull sheets are heavy-duty paperboard sheets designed to replace traditional pallets. They are used with forklift push-pull attachments that grip the sheet’s extended tab and slide the load onto or off of a trailer or warehouse floor.
Instead of lifting a wooden pallet, the forklift pulls the sheet, and the product moves with it. This system reduces pallet weight and can improve shipping efficiency in high-volume operations.
Are push-pull sheets a good alternative to wooden pallets?
In many applications, yes. Push-pull sheets reduce overall shipment weight and eliminate the cost and logistics of pallet return or disposal. They’re especially effective for companies shipping export loads without return pallets.
If your facility is already equipped with push-pull attachments, this solution can improve efficiency while reducing material costs over time.
Can push-pull sheets be used in food and agricultural operations?
Yes. Our sheets are manufactured from recyclable, paper-based materials and are suitable for use in environments requiring indirect product protection.
They are low-dust and low-odor, which is important in facilities handling bagged product or operating in high-volume food and ag environments. If you have specific compliance requirements, we can review your application and recommend the appropriate board grade.
How do push-pull sheets help reduce shipping costs?
By eliminating traditional pallets, push-pull sheets reduce freight weight and maximize trailer space. This can lower shipping costs and simplify cross-border or export logistics.
For operations shipping large volumes, those savings can add up quickly.
Do you offer moisture-resistant push-pull sheets?
Yes. Moisture-resistant coatings are available depending on your shipping conditions and storage environment. This is particularly important for export shipments or humid climates where added durability is needed. We’ll work with you to determine the right thickness and board construction for your load requirements.
How much do push-pull sheets cost?
Push-pull sheet prices vary based on dimensions, thickness, board grade, moisture-resistant treatment, and order volume. We quote quickly, often within 24 hours, and support nationwide distribution, including West Coast fast turnaround.
