The combination design of plastic pallets and steel pipes has been widely used in logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing industries in recent years. It combines the dual advantages of plastic and metal materials, becoming an efficient and durable solution for goods storage and transportation. Here are several core advantages of this composite tray:
1. Significantly improve load-bearing capacity and stability
Steel pipe skeleton reinforcement structure: Embedding steel pipe skeleton into the support legs or frames of plastic pallets can significantly increase the load-bearing capacity of the pallets. The dynamic load of ordinary plastic pallets is usually 1-2 tons, but with the addition of steel pipes, their dynamic load can be increased to 3-5 tons, suitable for the handling of heavy goods such as mechanical equipment and automotive parts.
Anti deformation ability: The high rigidity of steel pipes compensates for the bending deformation problem of pure plastic pallets under long-term heavy pressure, especially in high or low temperature environments, which can effectively maintain the stability of the pallet structure and avoid the risk of goods tilting.
2. Extend service life and reduce maintenance costs
Impact resistance and wear resistance: Plastic materials themselves have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, and chemical erosion resistance, while the steel pipe embedded design can resist edge wear caused by frequent collisions of forklifts, extending the service life of pallets to more than 10 years (ordinary plastic pallets have a service life of about 5-8 years).
Maintenance free design: Compared to wooden pallets that require regular insect and moisture prevention treatment, or metal pallets that require rust proof coating maintenance, plastic steel pipe pallets do not require additional maintenance, significantly reducing operating costs.
3. Lightweight and environmentally friendly advantages
Lightweight and efficient: Despite the addition of steel pipes, the overall weight is still lower than that of full steel pallets (reduced by about 30% -50%), making it easier to handle manually and reducing transportation energy consumption.
Circular economy value: Plastic pallets can be 100% recycled, and steel pipe frames can also be disassembled and reused, in line with the trend of green logistics. For example, after adopting this type of pallet, a certain e-commerce enterprise reduced the annual consumption of wooden pallets by more than 200000 pieces and reduced carbon emissions by 15%.
4. Enhance security and operational efficiency
Anti slip surface and edge protection: Plastic surfaces can be designed with anti slip textures, while steel pipe reinforced corners can reduce cargo collision damage. For example, after adopting such pallets in the food industry, the damage rate of goods decreased by 40%.
Standardization adaptability: The tray size complies with international standards (such as ISO 6780) and is compatible with automated warehousing systems (such as AGVs and three-dimensional shelves), improving loading and unloading efficiency by more than 30%.
5. Multi scenario applicability
Extreme environmental adaptability: It can be used stably in environments ranging from -30 ℃ to 80 ℃ (such as cold storage and outdoor yards), while wooden pallets are prone to moisture and mold, and metal pallets are prone to brittleness at low temperatures.
Industry universality: Widely applicable to industries such as chemical (corrosion-resistant), pharmaceutical (easy to clean), automotive manufacturing (heavy-duty demand), etc., meeting customized needs in different scenarios (such as anti-static, flame retardant modification).
