With the continuous development of modern industry, the requirements for production environment and storage conditions are constantly increasing. The limitations of wooden pallets in terms of hygiene and transportation standards are becoming more and more exposed. Instead, plastic pallets are constantly developing and expanding, and the service life of plastic pallets is generally 3-8 times that of wooden pallets. Therefore, the single use cost is lower than that of wooden pallets. Next, let's learn about the relevant knowledge of plastic pallets together.
Analysis of plastic pallet products
The structural form of plastic pallets has a significant impact on their actual load-bearing capacity, in addition to the factors of raw materials. According to the different load-bearing requirements of plastic pallets, the usage environment can be divided into the following types: single-sided pallet: refers to a pallet structure with a specific load-bearing surface that cannot be flipped for use. According to the different structures at the bottom, it can be divided into:
1. Chuanzi bottom type: The plastic tray with Chuanzi bottom structure has a relatively good load-bearing capacity (when used with beam type shelves, the beam direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the tray), and has a wide range of applications. Its structural form meets the requirements of manual hydraulic pallet trucks or forklifts for the long direction and forklifts for the wide direction. The carrying surface of the tray can be selected from grid type and flat type according to the different needs of the industry.
2. Tianzi bottom type: Plastic pallets with Tianzi bottom structure have significant advantages due to their square frame structure at the bottom, which ensures uniform force distribution and good overall stability during stacking. However, attention should be paid to the matching of manual hydraulic pallet trucks during use.
3. Nine legged type: The load-bearing capacity of this structural pallet is generally low, but the design of the structural form can meet the four-way fork needs of manual hydraulic pallet trucks and forklifts. It is mostly used for low load-bearing capacity, low-frequency turnover, or one-time shipment. At the same time, there are also two types of panel forms, grid and flat, to meet the needs of different industries.
4. Double sided tray: refers to a plastic tray that can be used on both sides and has good load-bearing performance. Both sides of the pallet are grid or flat, and due to its structural design, manual pallet trucks cannot be used. Additionally, due to its heavy weight, manual handling is also inconvenient.
5. Other specialized pallets: There are also some pallets specially customized to meet special usage requirements. These types of pallets are of special specifications and can be customized for customers with a certain minimum quantity.
Plastic pallets are generally produced and molded in one go using high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Compared with wooden pallets, it has good overall integrity, is hygienic and clean, and has the characteristics of light weight, no spikes, no static electricity, acid and alkali resistance, and easy cleaning during use. Before choosing a plastic tray, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of one's own products in order to select the appropriate plastic tray based on one's own needs.
