Why Metal POS Stands Outlast Plastic Alternatives: A Detailed Comparison

Posted by Sajeen Shrestha on

When choosing the perfect point-of-sale (POS) terminal stand, durability, security, and longevity are non-negotiable. Your POS system is central to your business operations, and the stand you select can significantly impact its performance and reliability. While plastic POS stands might seem like a cost-effective choice at first glance, metal POS stands, like those from Hilipro, prove to be the smarter investment in the long run. In this article, we’ll explore the key differences between metal and plastic POS stands and why Hilipro’s metal stands are the superior option for businesses of all sizes.

1. Unmatched Durability and Longevity

When it comes to longevity, Hilipro’s metal POS stands are the clear winner. Made from high-grade, corrosion-resistant materials, these stands are designed to endure heavy use in demanding environments. Whether in a bustling retail store, a busy restaurant, or a high-volume service counter, Hilipro’s metal stands maintain their structural integrity for years.

In contrast, plastic stands often fail to meet the same standard. Prone to cracking, warping, and degrading, plastic POS stands are particularly vulnerable to damage from heat, UV exposure, and frequent handling. This makes them a less reliable choice for businesses seeking a long-term solution.

2. Enhanced Security for Seamless Transactions

Security is a critical factor for any POS system. Hilipro’s metal POS stands are equipped with advanced features like tamper-proof locking mechanisms and secure mounting options. These features ensure that your payment terminals stay firmly in place, preventing unauthorized removal or tampering.

On the other hand, plastic stands often lack these robust security measures. Their lightweight design makes them more susceptible to being moved or dislodged, posing a potential risk to your business’s security and customer trust.

3. Superior Stability and Weight Capacity

In high-traffic environments, stability is paramount. Hilipro’s heavy-duty metal POS stands provide a sturdy base for even the heaviest payment terminals. Designed to stay in place during use, these stands minimize the risk of tipping or wobbling, ensuring smooth and efficient transactions.

Plastic stands, with their lighter construction, often struggle to provide the same level of stability. They may wobble or slide, creating frustration for both customers and employees. For businesses that value reliability, the added stability of metal stands is indispensable.

4. Sleek, Professional Aesthetics

First impressions matter, especially in customer-facing settings. Hilipro’s metal POS stands boast a sleek, modern design that enhances the overall appearance of your checkout area. Their polished finish and professional look complement any retail or hospitality environment, elevating the customer experience.

In contrast, plastic stands can look cheap and out of place in a premium setting. Over time, scratches and discoloration can further detract from their appearance, making them less appealing to businesses focused on aesthetics.

5. Cost-Effectiveness Over Time

While metal POS stands may have a higher upfront cost, they are a cost-effective investment in the long run. Hilipro’s durable designs reduce the need for frequent replacements, saving businesses money and reducing waste.

Plastic stands, despite their lower initial cost, often require frequent replacements due to wear and tear. These recurring expenses can quickly add up, making plastic a less economical choice over time.

Conclusion: The Hilipro Advantage

When comparing metal and plastic POS stands, the choice is clear. Hilipro’s metal POS stands deliver superior durability, security, stability, aesthetics, and long-term value. For businesses looking to upgrade their POS systems, metal stands from Hilipro are the ultimate solution.

Don’t settle for less when it comes to your business operations. Invest in Hilipro’s premium metal POS stands and experience the difference in quality and performance.

I ordered a PDQ unit, paid for special delivery to arrive the following day, several days later the unit failed to arrive, called customer service/sales and the guy I spoke was zero help and frankly couldn't/t be bothered. So I cancelled the order. The only part of this whole experience that was palatable was the refund arrived within a few days. I wouldn't recommend this site to anyone

The ordering of my product was smooth but I made a mistake by ordering the wrong product, I had a phone call from a woman with a foreign accent whom I still don't know if she worked for hillipro or the delivery company reg my delivery and after making several attempts to understand her and being very frustrated that she didn't understand me either after doing my best to make myself as clear spoken as I could was very frustrating and eventually the phone line went dead, but I emailed hillipro and got my order stopped and was refunded, so I was pleased with that.
In a nutshell the ordering was easy and the refund was the same, it was the middle part that let me down a little.

Easy purchasing process, after speaking to the seller they confirmed the items were in stock and would be dispatched the next day. No items received and no communication on email, phones goes through to answer phone.

Bought 2 ingenico holders both were big in size and defective it's been 15 days I have retuned the product but I have not yet received my refund. These people don't answer calls neither respond to emails. I would say never buy from this company they are fraudsters.
