The difference between Chuanzi tray and Tianzi pallet
Source: kuda 2025-07-18
In the field of logistics and warehousing, Chuanzi pallets and Tianzi pallets are two mainstream single-sided pallets, and their structural design and functional characteristics directly affect the efficiency of cargo handling and storage safety. This article will conduct a comparative analysis from four dimensions: structural features, mechanical adaptability, load-bearing capacity, and applicable scenarios.
Structure Design
Sichuan style tray
The bottom is composed of three parallel main beams forming a "chuan" shaped structure, with a relatively small number of crossbeams.
Forklift operation is available on all sides, compatible with both manual hydraulic trucks and mechanical forklifts.
Some models can be equipped with built-in steel pipes to enhance load-bearing capacity.
Tianzi tray
The bottom is formed by six or more crossbeams intersecting to form a "field" grid, with dense support points and higher structural integrity.
Usually has a nine legged or grid shaped base, which is more stable in structure.
Only suitable for mechanical forklifts, manual forklifts are difficult to operate.
Applicable scenarios
Sichuan style pallets are more suitable for:
Turnover scenarios: short distance logistics transportation, warehouse ground turnover, compatible with various forklifts.
Shelf storage: Equipped with built-in steel pipes and adapted to three-dimensional shelves, with high space utilization.
Industries: Electronics, Tobacco, General Manufacturing.
Tianzi tray is more suitable for:
Heavy duty stacking: Long term stacking of heavy goods such as chemical raw materials and mechanical equipment.
High level shelving/automated warehouse: structurally stable, with strong ability to disperse pressure.
Industry: Food, pharmaceuticals (requiring drainage and moisture prevention), cold chain logistics.
With the upgrade of intelligent logistics, the penetration rate of Sichuan style pallets in automated warehouses has reached 65% due to their advantages of lightweight and digital compatibility; Tianzi pallets continue to dominate the heavy-duty logistics market through structural strengthening.
