Used pallets

Pallets that have been used before and are no longer needed by one entrepreneur, for example, can support another entrepreneur for years to come. At Kruizinga you will find used pallets of different materials, sizes and types. The supply may fluctuate, so please check the current supply of used pallets on our website.

 

Advantages of used pallets:

 

  • - Sustainable
  • - Cheaper
  • - In stock, so fast delivery
  • - Functions well and of high quality

 

Disadvantages of used pallets:

 

  • - Previously used
  • - May show signs of usage
  • - Your desired pallet type might not be in stock as used

 

Quality of used pallets

At Kruizinga we only buy back and purchase used quality products, this allows us to guarantee the functionality and quality of our used pallets. The used pallets are therefore also immediately usable when you receive or pick them up.

 

Of course, there are different states in which used pallets are offered. When we receive the used pallets, we record their condition and take photos. The photos clearly show all signs of use. Therefore, always read the description with used products and view the photos, so you will never be surprised.

Sell used pallets

At Kruizinga you can offer used pallets. Perhaps you no longer use them or have switched to other materials or sizes. In such a case, you can give the pallets a second life, helping to reduce environmental impact.


You will also receive compensation for your used pallets, so it is a win-win to offer your used products to Kruizinga.

 

 


 

New pallets

New pallets can be ordered in a variety of sizes, types and materials. These pallets have no signs of use and can therefore be made completely your own.

 

Advantages of new pallets:

 

  • - Unused
  • - Larger, more consistant supply
  • - Functions well and of high quality
  • - Can be ordered in bulk
  • - Fast delivery, if in stock

 

Disadvantages of new pallets:

 

  • - More expensive
  • - Less sustainable
  • - Longer delivery time, if not in stock
