Cardboard Pallets
for Heavy Loads
(Up to 1,200 kg Dynamic Capacity)
Green OX® high-strength corrugated cardboard pallets are engineered for industrial applications requiring reliable load performance.
Despite their lightweight construction, our pallets support dynamic loads from 300 to 1,200 kg, making them a high-strength alternative to wood or plastic pallets while reducing transport weight and total logistics cost.
Green OX®: Lightweight, sustainable, and capable of supporting demanding industrial loads — up to 1,200 kg dynamic capacity.
Rethinking Traditional Pallets
Traditional wooden pallets have long been the industry standard but at a growing cost. They’re heavy, expensive to ship, and require heat-
Wood and plastic pallets have long dominated logistics, but they bring increasing challenges:
Many companies continue using them out of habit — not because they are the optimal solution. Green OX® introduces a more efficient, sustainable, and technically robust alternative.
The Green OX® Solution: Strength, Efficiency, Sustainability
Green OX® technology transforms FSC-certified corrugated fiberboard into high-performance pallets designed for industrial operations.
Despite their low weight (4–11 kg depending on model), our pallets deliver exceptional load capacity.
Technology Behind Corrugated Pallet Strength
Green OX® pallets do not rely on traditional assumptions about corrugated board.
Instead, they use engineered structural designs, precision assembly, and advanced adhesive applications to achieve high load capacity and superior weight distribution.
Our patented system allows corrugated materials to deliver performance comparable to — and in many applications more efficient than — conventional pallets.

Cardboard Pallet Weight Capacity & Performance Testing
Green OX® cardboard pallets undergo certified load testing, including dynamic load, compression, bending and stacking performance evaluations. Depending on the model, our engineered corrugated pallets safely support 300 kg, 600 kg, 900 kg, or up to 1,200 kg dynamic load, ensuring consistent load-bearing performance for heavy-duty distribution environments.
Certified Weight Capacity and Performance Testing
Green OX® cardboard pallets undergo extensive load testing, including dynamic load tests, static stacking tests, bending resistance and compression performance evaluations. Each model is certified for its maximum load capacity, ensuring consistent strength and predictable behavior under industrial conditions.
This verifies that our corrugated pallets can safely support up to 1,200 kg dynamic load, depending on the model.

Pros & Cons of Wood & Plastic Pallets
Pros
cons
While wood and plastic pallets remain common for multi-use applications, engineered corrugated cardboard pallets offer significant advantages for one-way shipments, export logistics, airfreight, high-turnover operations, and sustainability-driven supply chains. Green OX® technology allows cardboard pallets to deliver high load performance while dramatically reducing weight, handling risks, environmental impact, and total cost of ownership.
Modern engineered corrugated pallets can deliver load capacities comparable to traditional wooden pallets, while weighing significantly less. Green OX® pallets weigh between 4 and 11 kg, reducing transport weight while maintaining high strength. Unlike wood, they require no ISPM-15 treatment and offer a cleaner, more hygienic handling experience.

Through our partnership with Boix Machinery, customers can produce their own pallets on-site with automated equipment capable of assembling up to 6 pallets per minute.
This enables:
Reduced storage requirements
Full control over dimensions and specifications
With local availability of corrugated board in nearly every region, implementation is simple and scalable.
Practical Applications Across Industries
Green OX® pallets offer reliable performance in a wide range of sectors.
Companies benefit from safer handling, lower costs, and cleaner, more compliant pallet solutions.
Consumer goods distribution
Retail and e-commerce logistics
Food processing and pharmaceutical operations
High-turnover inventory environments
Export and airfreight shipments
Addressing the Main Objection:
Can Corrugated Really Hold That Much Weight?
Yes — and the data supports it.
Green OX® pallets have been engineered and tested to withstand demanding dynamic loads of up to 1,200 kg, depending on the model.
Their strength comes from:
In many scenarios, they can even be used in compatible racking systems when properly tested for the specific load application.
Lightweight Yet Strong:
The Structural Advantage
Don’t let their weight fool you. Green OX cardboard pallets are engineered to carry up to 750 kg (1,650 lbs), of evenly distributed load while weighing only a fraction of wood. Their corrugated structure delivers remarkable strength-to-weight performance for air, sea, and road freight.
This strength-to-weight ratio makes them ideal for air cargo, where every gram counts.
Moreover, lighter pallets translate into lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions during transport, an important metric for any logistics manager looking to go green.
