The structural evolution and function of plastic pallet

In modern logistics and warehousing systems, plastic floor slabs are gradually replacing traditional wooden pallets due to their corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, and recyclability. Based on the different bottom support structures, four classic styles have been derived, each forming a unique application scenario matrix.
Sichuan shaped structure
The bottom presents a "chuan" shape with three parallel longitudinal beams, which allows hydraulic forklifts and manual handling vehicles to operate without obstacles from three directions. Especially suitable for dense storage scenarios in automated three-dimensional warehouses, the hollow structure between the longitudinal beams can reduce self weight while ensuring uniform stress on the bearing surface. Food processing companies often choose this product because its seamless structure can avoid debris residue.
Tian shaped structure
The "Tian" grid is composed of criss crossing reinforcing ribs, which can carry goods on both sides and have outstanding anti slip performance. The nine legged variant adds support legs at the corners and edges to form a stable multi-point support system. This type of design is particularly suitable for temporary turnover of heavy machinery components, and its impact resistance can withstand frequent loading and unloading of metal castings. The electronic manufacturing industry prefers to use white Tian character boards for easy identification of small parts falling off.
Nine legged structure
The lightweight design with nine evenly distributed circular support feet at the bottom reduces the weight of the tray by about 30%. The round foot structure is particularly suitable for conveyor belt assembly line operations and can smoothly pass through drum conveyor equipment. Fast moving consumer goods distribution centers often use this type of tray in bulk, with a bottom space that facilitates air circulation and can meet the ventilation and storage needs of beverages, fruits and vegetables, and other goods.
Double sided structure
High strength design with complete flat surfaces on both sides, using a honeycomb core structure to achieve load balance. This type of pallet performs well in cold chain logistics, maintaining good toughness even in low temperature environments of -30 ℃. The chemical industry values its overall sealing, which can effectively prevent leakage of liquid raw materials. The recent emergence of foldable double-sided models further solves the storage pressure of empty pallet returns.
