High-Quality GMT Pallets Successfully Dispatched to Customer in UAE

A consignment of premium GMT (Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastic) pallets has been successfully shipped to a Hawen's valued customer in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), marking another milestone in sustainable and high-performance pallet solutions for the block industry.

The shipment, which was dispatched on December 2024, consists of 1500pcs of GMT pallets at the size of 1400x1300x50mm,designed to enhance the efficiency and durability of customer’s MASA  block making machine operations. Renowned for their high strength, moisture resistance, and long lifespan, these GMT pallets provide a superior alternative to traditional wooden or PVC pallets.

 “We are delighted to supply our high-quality GMT pallets to the UAE market. These pallets are engineered to withstand heavy loads and harsh working conditions,especially for customer's factory with curing chamber, making them an ideal choice for concrete block and paver production.” Said by the General Manager of Hawen Machinery Pony.

The GMT pallets were carefully packaged and loaded for secure transportation via sea shipment, ensuring timely and safe delivery to the customer. The shipment is expected to arrive at Abu Dhabi port at the second week of January 2025.

This successful dispatch highlights the growing demand for durable and eco-friendly pallet solutions in the UAE’s construction sector. As the industry shifts towards more sustainable and high-performance materials, GMT pallets continue to be a preferred choice for manufacturers worldwide.

What is a GMT Pallet?

GMT (Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastic) pallets are high-strength, durable pallets made from a composite material consisting of thermoplastic resin and glass fiber mats. They are widely used in the concrete block and brick-making industry as a replacement for traditional wooden, PVC, or bamboo pallets.

Advantages of GMT Pallets for Block Making

Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastic (GMT) pallets are an advanced type of pallet widely used in the concrete block industry. They offer several benefits over traditional wooden, PVC, and steel pallets:

1. High Strength & Durability

• GMT pallets are stronger than wood and PVC pallets, capable of withstanding heavy loads and repeated use.

• They are highly resistant to cracking, bending, and deformation, ensuring long-term performance.

2. Moisture & Corrosion Resistance

• Unlike wooden pallets, GMT pallets do not absorb water, preventing swelling or warping.

• They do not rust or corrode like steel pallets, making them ideal for humid and wet environments.

3. Longer Lifespan & Cost-Effectiveness

• GMT pallets have a lifespan 5–8 times longer than traditional wooden pallets.

• Their durability reduces frequent replacement costs, making them a cost-effective long-term investment.

4. Lightweight Yet Strong

• GMT pallets are lighter than steel pallets, making them easier to handle while still maintaining high load-bearing capacity.

• This reduces wear and tear on block-making machines, improving overall efficiency.

5. Smooth & Even Surface

• Provides a flat and stable base, ensuring the uniform shape and quality of concrete blocks.

• Prevents sticking, reducing product waste and improving block production efficiency.

6. Environmentally Friendly

• Made from recyclable thermoplastic materials, contributing to sustainable production.

• Unlike wooden pallets, they do not require deforestation.

Why Choose GMT Pallets?

By using GMT pallets, concrete block manufacturers can increase production efficiency, reduce operational costs, and ensure higher-quality output with minimal maintenance.
