1. Product definition and technical characteristics
Plastic pallets are standardized logistics vehicles made from HDPE (high-density polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene) as raw materials through injection molding/blow molding processes. Compared to traditional wooden pallets, its core advantages include:
Durability: Corrosion resistance, moisture and mold resistance, with a service life of 5-8 years (average 2-3 years for wooden pallets)
Lightweight: Reduce weight by 30% -50% and lower forklift energy consumption
Safety: No burrs/iron nail hazards, in compliance with FDA food grade certification requirements
Standardization: Supports international size specifications such as ISO6780 and GB/T2934
2. Typical application scenarios
Cold chain logistics: temperature range of -30 ℃~60 ℃, widely used in fresh/pharmaceutical warehousing
Automated warehousing: compatible with AGV robots, RFID slot design enables intelligent inventory counting
Export trade: no fumigation, no quarantine barriers, reducing cross-border logistics costs
3. Industry development trends
According to the 2024 China Logistics Equipment White Paper, the annual growth rate of the plastic pallet market is 12.7%, driven by core factors including:
Environmental policy: Many regions prohibit the export of wooden pallets, carbon tax system promotes green packaging substitution
Built in steel pipe: The design of the built-in steel pipe can increase the dynamic and shelf load capacity by 30% -50%
4. Selection suggestions
Users should choose different structural models such as nine legged, Sichuan shaped, or Tian shaped grids based on their load requirements (static load of 4-6 tons/dynamic load of 1-2 tons), usage environment (whether they are anti-static/flame-retardant), and equipment compatibility (fork tooth spacing/hydraulic vehicle support structure).
