Replacing the wooden pallet with a lighter, more hygienic and more economical solution is a real need for any logistics operation moving sacks in the Dominican Republic. This polypropylene sling —also known as soft pallet or flexible pallet— is made with first-grade virgin fabric and designed for companies that palletize and transport general goods in warehouses, distribution centers, maritime ports and export routes.
Key benefits
- Payload up to 1,500 kg: capacity designed for typical raffia sack configurations of cement, fertilizer or grains in 25 kg, 50 kg or sewn-bulk formats.
- Premium 160 g/m² fabric: professional-grade white polypropylene with a uniform finish that withstands routine friction from forklifts, rollers and intensive handling.
- Reinforced lifting handles: 4 polypropylene straps 7 cm wide and 60 g/m, with 145 cm auxiliary loops that give the forklift or crane hook enough room without cutting tension.
- 120 × 120 cm base × 160 cm usable height: a standard dimension compatible with common palletizing patterns (3, 4, 5 or 6 sacks per layer, in crossed layers for load stability).
- A true alternative to the wooden pallet: no nails, no splinters and no need for ISPM-15 phytosanitary treatment for maritime export.
Typical applications
- Palletizing raffia sacks with cement, fertilizers, grains, rice, sugar or feed.
- Internal movement in warehouses, logistics centers and Caribbean ports.
- Maritime export in containers when the wooden pallet is not viable due to weight, space or regulations.
- Loading and unloading with forklift or jib crane on four lifting points.
- Temporary storage of sacks in a covered yard or logistics warehouse.
Quality and durability
Made with professional-grade virgin polypropylene and reinforced stitching at the four lifting points, this sling holds up to intensive use in operations where the traditional pallet is heavy, costly or problematic to export. The difference between a premium soft pallet and a generic textile pallet shows from the first cycle: the 160 g/m² fabric withstands friction without cutting edges or premature fraying, the straps maintain homogeneous tension under load, and the 145 cm auxiliary loops give the forklift operator enough room to hook in without forcing the material.
