I was wondering if it didn't have more to do with export regulations? If you can only export a non-wooden pallet unless the wooden one has been properly treated for pests, etc.

We had a similar tipper 30 years ago at a creamery where I worked. We would tip a pallet of four cheese barrels (500 pounds each, total of 2K pounds per pallet) to allow some of the whey to drain out.
