Plastic slip sheets are sheets of thick plastic with a 3-6 inch lip (referred to as a pull tab) on one or more sides that are handled using specialized push/pull attachments mounted on fork lifts. Slip sheets cost about 85 percent less than wood pallets, less space is needed for storage and in transport, and the lightness reduces transportation costs. Also, plastic slip sheets are environmentally-friendly being fully recyclable in a closed-loop system, where old slip sheets can be recycled into new ones.
