In the three-dimensional shelf forest of the logistics center, flat Sichuan style pallets are like silent movers, carrying several tons of goods shuttling through the storage and transportation links. This type of logistics vehicle with reinforced ribs in the shape of a "river" at the bottom has become an indispensable basic unit of modern supply chains due to its unique design, carrying over 20 billion tons of goods annually worldwide.
1、 Engineering wisdom in structural design
The flat Sichuan shaped tray adopts a precision calculated mechanical structure, with three parallel reinforcing ribs at the bottom distributed in a "Sichuan" shape, and the spacing optimized by fluid mechanics. When using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material for trays with standard dimensions of 1200mm × 1000mm, the wall thickness is precisely controlled within the range of 4.2-4.8mm to ensure strength and avoid material waste.
The reinforcement height is usually designed to be 12-15mm, forming a golden support angle that maintains a deformation rate of less than 0.8% even when the dynamic load capacity reaches 1500kg.
The production process of injection molding forms a 0.5-1mm anti slip texture on the surface of the tray, with a stable friction coefficient between 0.6-0.8. The four-way fork design is matched with the ISO standard fork hole height to ensure perfect compatibility with various loading and unloading equipment. The specially designed rounded corners improve the impact resistance of the pallet by 40%, effectively responding to unexpected collisions during transportation.
2、 Quantitative breakthrough in performance advantage
In laboratory comparative tests, the bending strength of the Chuanzi structure increased by 65% compared to the traditional flat plate structure, and the dimensional stability remained within ± 0.3% under the working conditions of -25 ℃ to 50 ℃. The unique hollow design reduces the weight of the tray by 18%, while achieving a uniform distribution of pressure on the bearing surface of 92%. The anti slip performance test shows that the displacement of goods on a 15 ° inclined surface does not exceed 2mm, far exceeding the industry standard.
Actual application data shows that using standardized Sichuan style pallets can improve loading and unloading efficiency by 300% and increase warehouse space utilization by 45%. After a certain automotive parts company introduced the pallet system, the comprehensive cost of the supply chain decreased by 23%, and the cargo damage rate decreased from 1.2% to 0.15%. In the cold chain logistics scenario, its corrosion resistance extends the service life of pallets to three times that of ordinary products.
3、 The Future Landscape of Intelligent Evolution
The new generation of intelligent pallets has integrated RFID chips and pressure sensors, which can monitor the status of goods in real time. A smart pallet developed by a German company can independently record transportation trajectories with a positioning accuracy of 0.5 meters. Environmentally friendly bio based material trays have started mass production, reducing their carbon footprint by 62% compared to traditional products. Modular design reduces tray maintenance rates by 80% and extends the lifespan to 10 years.
The evolution history of flat Sichuan style pallets, from wooden pallets in the steam era to nano composite vehicles in the intelligent era, is a microcosm of the development of modern logistics. This seemingly simple logistics unit is actually a physical fulcrum for the digital transformation of the global supply chain. In the upcoming Industry 4.0 era, it will continue to support a more efficient and intelligent global logistics network in innovative forms.
