International specifications (unit: mm): 1200 × 1000 (European standard), 1100 × 1100 (Asian standard), 1200 × 800 (General type), 1140 × 1140 (Chemical specific); It is recommended to use internationally recognized sizes of 1200 × 1000mm (European standard) and 1100 × 1100mm (Japanese standard). These pallets can adapt to most forklift tooth spacing, shelf specifications, and transportation tools, reducing supply chain collaboration costs.
Core elements of size adaptation
Goods adaptability: Adjust the stacking method according to the size of the outer packaging of the goods to ensure a stable center of gravity and no suspended parts;
Loading tool matching: For example, 1200 × 1000mm pallets are recommended for round-trip container transportation, which has a higher utilization rate of horizontal space;
Storage equipment compatibility: It is recommended to reserve 200mm more activity space for shelf depth than pallet size to avoid loading and unloading collisions.
2、 Customized strategy for special scenarios
Non standard size triggering conditions
Customization should be considered when encountering the following situations:
Abnormal size of goods (such as ultra long pipes and precision instruments) results in a standard pallet utilization rate of less than 70%;
Space limited scenarios such as elevator doors with a width of less than 1300mm in old warehouses;
Automated equipment has special interface requirements for tray size (such as AGV positioning accuracy requiring ± 3mm error control).
Customized optimization suggestions
Prioritize modular design and achieve multi scenario reuse through detachable components;
It is recommended to control the aspect ratio of customized dimensions within the range of 1:0.6~1.4 to avoid extreme proportions that may cause a decrease in structural strength.
3、 Three step verification process
Simulation test: Verify space utilization by drawing cargo stacking diagrams using CAD;
Load testing: Conduct dynamic handling tests using sandbags of equivalent weight;
Compatibility verification: Test the fit between the tray and the equipment in a real working environment.
Key decision points: Standard size should be used as a basic option to cover over 80% of usage scenarios, and any remaining special requirements should be addressed through customized solutions. When selecting, it is necessary to synchronously evaluate the full lifecycle cost of the pallet, including procurement, maintenance, scrapping and recycling.
