BLOCKPal™ REUSABLE BLOCK PALLETS WITH IoT TECHNOLOGY
Smart pallets, engineered for optimal performance in the world’s most demanding supply chains.
Download Spec Sheet
Made of a composite material that’s stronger than steel by weight, BLOCKpal pallets have an edge rack capacity of 6,500 lbs., more than twice that of other pallets, greatly reducing the risk of product damage or employee injury due to pallet failure. Independently tested to ISO 8611 and ASTM D 1185 standards and under the Virginia Tech Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design protocols to greater levels of durability than any widely available or comparable alternative.
Constructed with pultruded glass fiber reinforced composite, resistant to rupturing, fracturing, bending and deflection. Precise, automated construction ensures consistent dimensions (maximum allowed dimensional deviation is 0.635 MM).
Low profile runners and wide, 4-way fork openings make for easy handling; non-slip coating on both sides of top deck offering greater coefficient of friction in ambient environments for both product and forklift tines.
Non-porous surface resistant to moisture, bacteria, pests and chemicals; easily cleaned with no heat treatment nor caustic chemical cleaning agents required.
Every BLOCKPal pallet features embedded RM2 ELIoT® technology. Location and condition data are collected by sensor and transmitted to the cloud via the LTE-M network, making visible the pallet’s location and condition both indoors and in transit without requiring any additional hardware or IT development.
Low profile 5.0″ height allows 90 more BLOCKpal pallets per backhaul truckload, reducing transportation costs by 17%, and weight of 55 lbs. vs. an average of 70 lbs. for other block pallets makes both handling and transport more efficient.
o -40° to 176° F tolerance range exceeds that of other pallets by more than 20° in each direction, so it won’t become brittle in cold environments or flexible in hot environments for dependable performance in a variety of conditions.
Constructed of FM4996 certified, naturally fire-resistant material with no carcinogenic additives.

Reduce transportation, handling, and packaging costs by up to $1.53/pallet
LOGISTICALLY OPTIMIZED
Reduce transportation costs by 17% with low profile 5.0″ height vs. 5.67″ for other block pallets, allowing 90 more BLOCKpal pallets per backhaul truckload
Weighing 55 lbs. vs. an average of 70 lbs. for other block pallets, BLOCKpal pallets are easier to handle and more efficient to transport
Non-slip coating on both sides of top deck offering greater coefficient of friction in ambient environments for both product and forklift tines
4-way forklift entry
Rounded corners facilitate shrink wrapping
BUILT FOR HEAVY LOADS
Made of composite material that’s stronger than steel by weight
Edge rack capacity of 5,600 lbs., more than twice that of other pallets, greatly reducing risk of pallet failure
In the unlikely event of pallet failure, BLOCKpal’s bottom boards are designed to fail first, maintaining the integrity of the top deck boards and protecting product
IDEAL FOR THE COLD CHAIN
-40° F to 176° F tolerance range exceeds that of other pallets by more than 20° F in each direction
Won’t become brittle in cold environments or flexible in hot environments for dependable performance in a variety of conditions
NATURALLY FIRE RESISTANT
FM4996 certified
Naturally fire-resistant material with no carcinogenic additives
HYGIENIC
Nonporous material is naturally resistant to bacteria, chemicals, and pests
Non-shedding material does not produce dust or debris, eliminating risk of foreign material from pallet
Pallets are sanitized at one of RM2’s three cleaning facilities in an ISO 22000 standard two-step cleaning process which includes disinfection and results in ATP readings of 50 or below
Pallets are swabbed and RLU readings are recorded and made available to customers for a full hygienic audit trail equipment sanitation prior to deployment
CONSISTENT SPEC AND QUALITY
Maximum allowed dimensional deviation is 0.025″
Rigid material maintains structural integrity with minimal deflection on the top deck
Composite construction uses no nails
