Generally speaking, the self weight of a plastic pallet is directly proportional to its load-bearing capacity. The heavier the self weight of the pallet, the higher its load-bearing limit, while the load-bearing capacity of lightweight plastic pallets is generally within 0.5 tons. This is mainly related to the structure and raw materials of plastic pallets. Let's take a look together below.
The relationship between the self weight and load-bearing capacity of plastic pallets
The load-bearing capacity of plastic pallets is related to their material and structure, and the higher the density of the material, the corresponding increase in strength and stiffness. However, when designing plastic pallets, it is not only necessary to consider their load-bearing capacity, but also the impact of their own weight. Because if the weight of the plastic pallet is too large, it will increase transportation costs and limit its application during transportation. Therefore, for plastic pallets, it is necessary to find a balance between load-bearing capacity and self weight, ensuring sufficient load-bearing capacity while controlling the size of self weight to improve their practicality and economy.
Of course, the proportion of self weight and load-bearing capacity of different types of plastic pallets will vary. For example, lightweight plastic pallets typically have a lower load-bearing capacity, but their own weight is also relatively light, making them suitable for the transportation and storage of lightweight goods; Heavy plastic pallets have a higher load-bearing capacity, but their own weight is also heavier, making them suitable for the transportation and storage of heavy goods. Therefore, when selecting plastic pallets, it is necessary to choose the appropriate type and specifications based on the actual situation.
For enterprises with high load-bearing requirements, they can consider adding steel pipes inside plastic pallets. Adding steel pipes to the surface and bottom of the pallets can effectively increase their load-bearing capacity and prevent the pallets from bending and deforming due to heavy cargo.
