Understanding Timber Pallets
Robust timber platforms are central to ensuring smooth transport and delivery in Australia. Not only do they set a high bar for strength and durability, allowing repeated use, but they also play a critical role within commercial supply chains.
Their significance extends beyond mere functionality. Wooden pallets represent a commitment to sustainability within an industry where both resilience and ecological accountability are essential demands.

Heat Treated Pallets: Ensuring Global Compliance
International shipping involves adhering to strict global protocols, and heat-treated pallets play a crucial role in this process. These pallets are crafted to align with the stringent specifications set out by the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM-15), ensuring compliance.
The purpose of these heat-treated pallets extends beyond mere pest prevention. It is fundamentally about safeguarding agricultural integrity and ecosystems across various nations.
If required, our timber products are heat treated on our site to meet the Australian Wood Packaging Certification Scheme for Export, Certification No: AWP140.
What is Heat Treatment?
Heat treatment refers to a technique which involves:
- Elevating the internal temperature of the wood to 56 degrees Celsius
- Sustaining this core temperature for at least 30 minutes
- Sterilising pallets
- Preparing pallets for global transportation if required.
Compliance with ISPM-15 regulations guarantees that these heat-treated pallets are devoid of pests, protecting your cargo as well as the ecological system from potential invasive species.
The Benefits of Choosing Heat-Treated
Choosing pallets that have undergone heat treatment offers undeniable advantages: easier passage through customs, adherence to global regulations, and a diminished chance of shipping delays or refusals.
Sporting the distinctive ISPM-15 certification mark on your cargo demonstrates a strong dedication to quality and an earnest approach towards fulfilling international responsibilities.
