Molded Wood Pallets
Litco Pallets Outperform Traditional Wood Pallets for One-Way Shipping!
Litco's Inca-Brand, Engineered Molded Wood™ Pallets are Twice as Stiff as New Hardwood Pallets and Provide Superior Performance
Why stiffer pallets matter:
- They are more stable and maintain structural integrity under heavy loads. This helps ensure even weight distribution.
- They minimize vibrations and reduce stress on packaged products during transit.
- They resist load shifting during transportation, ensuring safer and more secure delivery.
- They can help lower the cost and specification requirements of primary packaging materials.

These pallets are not intended for use in open beam rack storage. Ratings are based on the load uniformly distributed on the pallet deck. Actual load capacity is application-specific and dependent upon the product, packaging, load containment, and handling environment. The testing of the pallets with the intended application is strongly recommended.
Superior Performance, Sustainability and Cost-Effectiveness
- Safe load ratings up to 2,500 lbs dynamic and 7,500 lbs static, adhering to ASTM Standard D1185.
- Available in four weight carry capacities for loads ranging from light to extra-heavy duty.
- Offers 52% greater resistance to fork-related, edge damage compared to nailed pallet boards.
- Meets IPPC-ISPM 15 standards, eliminating the need for stamps and costly heat treatments for export.
- Molded at 350°F, ensuring cleanliness and freedom from listeria, bugs and other contaminants.
- Weighs 33% less than comparable new hardwood pallets, making handling easier and more efficient.
- Nest-able design allows stacking up to 50 pallets in an 8-foot space.
- USDA Certified BioBased Product, made with a high percentage of renewable, plant-based materials, and certified for sustainability by the Cradle to Cradle® Products Innovation Institute.
- Cost-Effective: Typically priced much lower than new hardwood-style pallets.
- Made With Pride: Manufactured in the USA.
What Makes Us Stand Out
1.
Fully Protects
The solid top deck fully protects your products and provides a high resistance to fork-related, pallet edge damages.
2.
Saves Space
Space-saving, nest-able storage design provides significant savings in shipping, handling and storage costs.
3.
Pallet Jack Friendly
Most of our Molded Wood Pallet sizes are full four-way entry with both pallet jacks and lift trucks. This allows you to easily fit 7% additional product in a 53’ shipping van.
Litco’s Inca Engineered Molded Wood™ Pallets Improve Supply Chain Efficiency
Durable And Lighter-Weight
Due to their eco–intelligent design, Inca Molded Wood™ pallets have a 52% greater resistance to fork-related, pallet edge damage.
Ready For Export
Litco’s “export-grade” molded wood pallets are considered processed wood and are exempt from the IPPC-ISPM 15 export packaging regulations.
Mold And Termite Resistant
The heat-treating process for killing infestation in wood pallets actually draws moisture to the surface. Our pallets, on the other hand, are sanitized at time of manufacture and are guaranteed free of bugs, bark and mold.
Space Saving Nest-able Design
With a space saving ratio of 2.5 to 1, you can store 1,200 molded pallets compared to 480 conventional pallets in an area of 320 square feet.
Automatic Pallet Dispensing
Fifty nested, molded wood pallets can be dispensed in most automatic pallet dispensers. This equates to 2.5 times as many pallets when compared to stringer and block-style pallets.
Cradle To Cradle Certified® Sustainable
They are engineered by design to do more with less. That means they can carry more static and dynamic product load while using less materials and energy.
Certified Sustainable
Litco’s Engineered Molded Wood™ pallets and core plugs have earned sustainability certifications from both the Cradle to Cradle® and USDA BioPreferred® programs. These dual certifications assure buyers that Litco pallets and core plugs are independently verified as sustainable, support the principles of a circular economy, and align with the need to be environmentally responsible.
Dedicated to Making Great Products and Being Good Stewards of Our Environment
Litco’s Inca-brand Engineered Molded Wood™ pallets and core plugs are designed for limited reuse and are not repairable. Once they have reached the end of their useful life, consider recovery and recycling as two viable options to prevent them from ending up in landfills.
RECOVERY
This is the process of retrieving and sorting used molded wood pallets and core plugs in “like-new condition” ultimately for resale and reuse. Recovery is an environmentally sustainable practice that helps conserve resources and minimize the environmental impact of pallet disposal. Litco’s availability of this service and the value placed on the products, if any, will vary depending on the location, product, size, condition and amount of desirable product.
RECYCLING
To prevent landfilling damaged pallets and core plugs, have a local pallet recycler collect them with your other wood waste. This material can be repurposed into products like mulch, absorbents, animal bedding, compost, and boiler fuel. Litco’s Inca wood fiber is clean, low moisture, and free of metal fasteners. It is a material of choice at a weight per load in the range of 19 tons and a 6,926 BTU/ton value.
