plastic slipsheet
The slip sheet is used as a unit load support device in vehicle delivery and transportation of products. When slip sheets are supported by a pallet board, roller conveyor surface, flat load carrying surface, or a cart or lift truck, the structural strength of the slip sheet supports the product loads weight [ 1] . With the slip sheet supported by one of these transportation devices the unit load can easily be transported both internally within a facility and externally between two facility locations [ 1] . The basic setup for lifting the slip sheet unit load is seen below ( Fig. 1) .

Plastic Slip Sheet Material: The plastic slip sheet is made of a combination of polyethylene materials [ 1] . This type of material allows for greater non-tear strength and an increased number of uses in cold and humid environments [ 1] . The only disadvantage to the plastic slip sheet is the high cost [ 1] . Yet, its advantages include longer sheet life, durable lips, ability to be stored in cold or humid environments, and can be handled by a roller conveyor, slip sheet lift truck, AGV, or powered unit load transportation devices [ 1] .
Slip Sheet Advantages:
· Using slip sheets instead of wooden pallets allows for 12-15% more products in material handling containers [ 2]
· Slip sheets do not require maintenance, but can easily be replaced
· Significant reduction in material handling costs
· Decreases loading/ unloading time by up to 60% [ 2]
· Weighs 20 times less than wooden pallets, saving shipping weight [ 3]
· Can be customized to fit any size load [ 3]
· Eliminates the need for pallet exchange
· Reusable and reliable
· Most are recyclable
· Is cost-effective
