Schütz developed a plastic pallet designed especially for use in ex-zones. This application was previously reserved chiefly for steel pallets. The earthing problems connected with plastic products have been solved by integrating two earthing plates into the pallet. The plates have been built into the two middle blocks of each outer plastic skid, where they are well protected. A sufficiently large contact surface ensures a conductive connection from IBC to ground at all times. Where containers are stacked, the earthing plates guarantee a connection from the top IBC to the bottom one, thus ensuring reliable earthing even in such cases. The plastic pallet is resistant to the influences of chemicals and other corrosive media and therefore also suitable for use in particularly sensitive areas.
