A container storage wood pallet supports every export shipment and warehouse operation. It keeps products stable, dry, and safe from damage during transport. Businesses that depend on smooth logistics must use high-quality pallets to protect their cargo and speed up loading.
Keep reading to learn why PT. Bumi Mandiri Resources (BMR) leads Indonesia’s market in durable and certified wooden pallets for export and container use.
The Growing Need for Efficient Container Storage
Every year, global container shipping keeps growing. According to UNCTAD (2024), the world handled over 195 million TEUs of containerized trade in 2023, a rise of 3.2% from the previous year. With this increase, logistics companies now focus more on reliable packaging materials that can handle both heavy and long-distance shipments.
Wood pallets play a vital role here. They support the weight of goods, simplify stacking, and speed up the loading process. Without them, warehouse efficiency drops by more than 20%, based on a study by the Material Handling Institute (MHI, 2023). This shows how much container operations rely on the humble wooden pallet.
Why Wood Pallets Dominate Container Storage
Wood pallets stay dominant because they combine strength, flexibility, and cost efficiency. One pallet can handle up to 1,500 kilograms of load, making it suitable for steel, cement, machinery, or paper rolls. Also, they absorb minor shocks during transit, reducing product damage by over 15% compared to shipments without pallets.
Another key reason lies in cost. Wooden pallets are about 40–50% cheaper than plastic ones, which matters for exporters using them once per shipment. BMR’s ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets cost depending on the size, while still meeting international standards for export to more than 180 countries.
ISPM-15 Certification: The Global Export Passport
Every exporter knows that customs rejection means major losses. That’s why ISPM-15 certification matters. This standard, enforced by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), ensures that wooden pallets are free from pests, mold, and larvae before shipment.
BMR’s production facility uses both heat-treatment and fumigation methods certified by the Ministry of Agriculture (Indonesia). Each pallet carries a clear IPPC mark with a unique code for export verification. As a result, clients avoid re-inspection costs and delays at major ports such as Singapore, Rotterdam, and Los Angeles.
Maximizing Container Space and Efficiency
Container storage wood pallets also improve how space gets used. A 40-foot container can fit around 20–22 standard pallets (1100 × 1100 mm), depending on stacking style. By using the same pallet size and orientation, warehouses can reduce wasted space by up to 12% and cut loading time by 30 minutes per container.
BMR engineers often help clients design pallet layouts that match their product shape and container size. This approach not only saves space but also improves weight distribution, which lowers the risk of cargo shifting during long sea journeys.
Durability That Saves Money
Durability directly affects long-term costs. High-density hardwood pallets can last for over 5 years with proper care, while softwood versions perform well for 2–3 years under heavy rotation. When comparing cost per use, wooden pallets remain the most economical choice.
Furthermore, BMR designs its pallets with 4-way forklift entry, allowing easier handling and reducing forklift damage incidents by 18%, according to internal customer audits (2024). This design ensures faster movement between warehouse zones and safer loading to container floors.
Eco-Friendly and Repairable Solution
Sustainability also becomes a major reason to choose wood pallets. Around 95% of wooden pallets in Indonesia come from renewable forests. After their service life, they can be repaired or recycled into wood chips, furniture, or biomass fuel.
BMR applies a “Reuse-Repair-Recycle” approach that helps clients cut waste and carbon footprint. Each damaged pallet can be fixed for only 30% of the price of a new one, keeping materials in circulation longer. According to Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment (KLHK, 2024), recycled wood pallets help reduce landfill waste by over 120,000 tons per year nationally.
How to Maintain Your Wood Pallets
Good maintenance helps pallets last longer. Always store them on a dry surface, away from direct rain or soil contact. Stacking them evenly also prevents bending and cracking. Regular inspection before use can catch small damages early.
BMR recommends using fumigation services every six months or after long storage periods to prevent termite or mold growth. For exporters, this step ensures the pallet keeps its ISPM-15 validity and remains ready for quick international loading.
Why Choose PT. Bumi Mandiri Resources
PT. Bumi Mandiri Resources has supplied wood pallets to top manufacturing and logistics firms across Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan since 2010. The company operates modern facilities in Karawang and Sidoarjo, with a production capacity exceeding 80,000 pallets per month.
Clients appreciate BMR’s custom pallet design service, offering options for mixed cargo (chemical drums, automotive parts, food packaging) while meeting export rules. With trained technicians and strict QC standards, BMR ensures every pallet meets strength and moisture criteria before delivery.
Also, the company offers full support from design to delivery — including loading consultation, container optimization layout, and export fumigation certificates. Many long-term clients report that switching to BMR pallets increased their export loading speed by 25% and reduced packaging damage by 40%.
The Smart Future of Container Pallets
In the future, smart tracking chips and IoT sensors will likely become part of wooden pallets to monitor humidity, shock, and movement. BMR already explores this innovation by partnering with local tech startups. This step aims to make container storage safer, traceable, and data-driven for modern exporters.
The global wooden pallet market itself is expected to reach USD 86.5 billion by 2030, with Asia-Pacific as the fastest-growing region (Allied Market Research, 2024). Indonesia’s strong manufacturing base gives local companies like BMR a solid opportunity to lead in sustainable export packaging.
