TriEnda began developing useful rating methods in 1994. Through customer interviews, international literature review, and in-plant research, TriEnda designers developed the industry's first set of standardized performance rating tests.
Eight ratings used in TriEnda's test methods are: floor, fork, rack, conveyor, slip resistance, durability, pack (ratings for pallets converted to a package,) and life cycle (derating considerations are also addressed).
TriEnda's pallet performance abilities are tested and measured to perform by maintaining the rated load distributed through an air bag or other means for a period of 96 hours at 72 degrees F in a special machine which collects data (measured in pounds) at regular intervals.
TriEnda has a leadership role within MHIA plastic pallets group to develop these procedures and practices..
