Replacing steel production boards for concrete pavers with RHINO composite pallets is a great idea.

Traditionally, wooden production boards for concrete pavers have been used in concrete block manufacturing industry since the beginning. In the past couple of decades, a lot of factories shifted to steel pallets for concrete block machine. This was done on presumptions that steel pallets for concrete block machine will last much more than traditional softwood boards. However, over the last few years, there have been tremendous engineering progress in this field. RHINO has been a pioneer with several firsts in its pursuit to find an improvement over steel pallets for concrete block machine. The use of RHINO boards offer the following advantages over steel pallets :

1. The noise created by steel pallets is of extreme concern for the factory workers as well as noise pollution for nearby communities. Use of RHINO production boards for concrete pavers eliminates the noise created when steel pallets are operating. The operation is much more quieter which is a factor of general wellbeing of all the workers, and well as peace for the community at large.

2. Steel pallets are extremely prone to rust. Moisture is ever present in a block factory, and encourages the rusting of steel pallets. This rusting causes rapid deterioration of the steel, needing expensive replacement. Given the ever increasing price of steel, it is a very expensive proposition to replace steel pallets. In contrast, RHINO boards so not rust, and have a long life in challenging circumstances.

3. Steel, by its very nature, is a very elastic material. It means that steel pallets have huge deflection when heavy concrete blocks are placed on them. This especially becomes extremely serious when steel pallets are facing rust and corrosion. Most worldwide clients are very sensitive towards dimensional accuracy of the concrete products. This unwanted deflection in steel pallets for concrete block machine is eliminated to a large extent in RHINO production boards for concrete pavers.

4. The price for steel production boards for concrete pavers can be almost double of RHINO Boards. The replacement of steel is then again expensive forcing the factory management to have huge capital expenditure on a regular basis. Use of RHINO boards eliminates this very expensive exercise.

5. Steel production boards for concrete pavers cannot be refurbished into new pallets. They can only be sold at a very low price as scrap. On the other hand, we can ship RHINO Fabrico boards back to our factory, refurbish the whole pallet and give new surfaces as well. All this, including the shipping, is done in a fraction of the cost of a new pallet. This ensures healthy savings for the factory management.
