Global Machine has as a heritage of three generations in the concrete industry building concrete machinery and supplying support equipment that is essential to make the systems work properly. Production pallets, or if we were to compare the block business to the bakery business (Cookie sheets) are what the building blocks are formed on. The production pallets then are normally placed in racks and placed in curing rooms for overnight curing.
Good quality products pallets are essential to the quality of making good concrete products and the efficiency of a concrete products plant operation. Purchasing production pallets can often be the most under rated yet important component of any new or existing block and paving stone plant.
There are various materials that production boards are made from such as PVC, wood, or steel. They each fit a certain block and paving stone machine application best depending on the producers specific production needs. Some of the common questions to help choose which type of production pallet is best for your application are listed below.
- Do the products you want to produce require steam curing?
- Will you be palletizing the products manually, semi of with fully automatically?
- Will you be putting production pallets into racks?
- What will be your budget?
- What is the weight of the products you are producing?
- How critical is the height control of the products you manufacture?
- Does your palletizing handling system clamp and lift the product off the product pallet?
- Does your palletizing handling system push the products off the pallet?
PVC PALLETS
PVC are fast becoming a widely chosen choice by pallet used for medium to small sized block and paving stone machines around the world. This is because it enhances the performance of the block machine with uniform vibration transmission in the molding process ensuring faster and better compression. In addition the wear resistant and durability against concrete abrasion and ability to handling heavy weights of products is very good. The PVC is half the weight of a steel pallet and has few side effects issues from being in an atmospherically controlled curing chamber environment compared to other material types of production pallets.
When purchasing any type of pallet is absolutely vital to make sure they are flat, dimensionally square, have deburred edges, and radius corners. If the pallets are not made correctly it will cost you downtime because the pallet with not will not effectively flow through the block machine and handling systems. This can possibly cause damage to production pallets, racks and even your equipment. The other major reason pallets need to be flat is so you make good concrete products! Poor quality pallets affect the quality of your concrete products triggering premature cracking, soft spots and height control irregularity in your concrete products.
Our PVC pallets can be designed to your exact specifications. You will be supplied a production production board is flat within tolerance. The production pallet can be manufactured and supplied with either metric or imperial measurements. Standard thicknesses are available from 3/4″ (18.37mm) to 1″ (25.4mm) or in metric sizes.
PVC Pallets can be made to your specifications in L x W x H.
Plastic Pallets for Concrete Block Production
Global Machine Market has a proud heritage spanning three generations in the concrete industry. Since our earliest days, we have specialized in designing and supplying block making machines and the essential support equipment that ensures every system performs at its best. Among these support components, few are as critical—and often underestimated—as plastic pallets.
Read MoreJust as cookie sheets in a bakery serve as the foundation for baked goods, production pallets are the base on which concrete blocks and pavers are formed. Once molded, these products are placed on pallets, then stacked into racks and moved into curing rooms. The quality, durability, and flatness of those pallets play a direct role in the strength, appearance, and long-term reliability of every block that comes off your production line.
The Critical Role of Production Pallets
Many producers focus on machinery, curing chambers, and handling systems while underestimating the importance of pallets.
Yet the reality is simple : if your production pallets are not manufactured to the correct standards, your operation will suffer.
Concrete product quality : Poor pallets lead to height control irregularities, cracking, and soft spots in blocks and pavers.
Efficiency in operations : If pallets are not flat, dimensionally square, or properly deburred, they can jam in your block making machine or handling equipment, causing costly downtime.
Longevity of equipment : Damaged or warped pallets may harm racks, conveyors, or palletizing systems.
Purchasing high-quality plastic pallets is therefore not a minor detail—it is a cornerstone decision that affects every part of your concrete product plant.
Choosing the Right Pallet for Your Plant
Producers today can choose from several types of production pallets: PVC, wood, or steel. Each material suits particular needs, and the decision depends on your unique application. When deciding, you should ask yourself:
- Do the products you produce require steam curing?
- Will palletizing be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated?
- Are your pallets going into racks or handled differently?
- What is your budget and production volume?
- How heavy are the products you’re producing?
- How important is precise height control in your finished blocks?
- Does your palletizing system clamp, lift, or push products off pallets?
Your answers will determine whether steel, wood, or pvc pallets best fit your plant.
Why PVC Pallets Are a Leading Choice
PVC pallets are gaining popularity worldwide, especially for small to medium-sized block making machines. Their advantages are numerous:
Superior vibration transmission – PVC ensures consistent vibration across the mold, resulting in better compaction, sharper edges, and higher product strength.
Durability and wear resistance – Unlike wood, PVC does not splinter, warp, or absorb moisture. It withstands the abrasion of concrete over time.
Strength with lighter weight – At about half the weight of steel, PVC is easier to handle while still supporting heavy block loads.
Compatibility with curing environments – PVC is less affected by controlled atmospheric conditions inside curing chambers compared to other materials.
Cost-effectiveness – Over the life of your plant, PVC often delivers the best balance of performance, longevity, and value.

The Cost of Poor-Quality Pallets
Some producers cut costs by choosing low-quality pallets, only to face bigger problems later. Warped, uneven, or poorly finished pallets can:
- Disrupt production schedules with unplanned downtime
- Cause rejects due to defective blocks or pavers
- Increase maintenance costs for handling systems
- Shorten the lifespan of racks, curing chambers, and even your block making machine
Simply put, investing in high-quality plastic pallets saves you money and headaches over the long run. The strength and precision of your pallets will reflect directly in the durability and appearance of your concrete products.
