New Age Industrial 54552 Lightweight Aluminum Pallet

Fire-resistant, rust-proof, easy to sanitize, impervious to pests

By Work Safety 24/7 Staff 

The 54552 Heavy Duty ASRS Lightweight Aluminum Pallet from New Age Industrial can deliver the durability, dimensional consistency, and strength required for high-performance automated storage and retrieval systems.

Designed for modern automated warehouses and distribution centers, and built from high-tensile extruded aluminum with a welded heavy-duty tubular frame, this pallet offers a reliable, rust-proof alternative to traditional wood or plastic pallets.

Weighing just 37.5 pounds, the 54552 reduces handling weight while maintaining structural integrity. With a static load capacity of 15,000 pounds and dynamic and rackable capacities of 2,000 pounds, it is engineered to withstand demanding material handling operations while maintaining consistent performance in automated environments.

Unlike wood pallets that can splinter, absorb moisture, harbor pests, or degrade over time, aluminum pallets provide long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. These qualities make the 54552 pallet ideal for facilities that rely on automation, cleanability, and reliable pallet performance.

Product Features

  • Fire Safety Compliance: Reduce your insurance risks and facility costs. These pallets are naturally fire-resistant, non-sparking, and UV resistant. Utilizing aluminum pallets can help facilities comply with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1, potentially eliminating the need for costly fire suppression system upgrades or off-site storage often required for combustible plastic or wood pallets.
  • Sanitary & Metal Detectable: Ideal for food processing, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom environments. Aluminum pallets are easy to clean, metal detectable, and impervious to insect infestation, rot, and corrosion, helping facilities maintain strict sanitation standards.
  • Automation-Ready Design: Engineered for compatibility with ASRS systems and automated material handling equipment, providing consistent dimensions and reliable performance for high-volume operations.
  • Lightweight, Heavy-Duty Construction: Despite weighing only 37.5 pounds, this pallet supports static loads up to 15,000 pounds and dynamic and rackable loads up to 2,000 pounds, delivering exceptional strength while reducing overall pallet weight.
  • Welded Heavy-Duty Tubular Frame: Constructed with 10-gauge tubing and high-tensile extruded aluminum for exceptional structural integrity and long-term durability in demanding industrial environments.
  • Consistent Dimensions for Automation: Precision-welded construction ensures dimensional stability, which is critical for automated systems that require consistent pallet performance.
  • Made in USA Quality: Manufactured at New Age Industrial’s facility in Kansas, this pallet reflects the company’s commitment to American-designed and American-manufactured material handling products built for long-term industrial use.
