As the core carrier in modern logistics systems, industrial plastic pallets are designed to directly adapt to the operational needs of different industries. From the perspective of structural form, it can be mainly divided into two categories: single-sided pallets and double-sided pallets. A single-sided pallet can only be used on one side, and the bottom often adopts a Sichuan shaped, Tian shaped, or nine legged support structure, which is suitable for stacking storage to optimize storage space; The double-sided pallet is designed with load-bearing surfaces on both sides, and its structure is symmetrical, making it easy for forklifts to operate in multiple directions, especially suitable for high-frequency handling scenarios such as food and beverage, grain and oil. In addition, the grid tray achieves ventilation function through hollow design, making it the preferred choice for transporting fresh agricultural products and effectively reducing the risk of spoilage caused by moisture.
In terms of differentiated material and process selection, injection molded trays have higher structural density and impact resistance due to high-pressure molding technology, making them suitable for heavy industrial loads; Blow molded trays are lightweight through hollow design, making them more suitable for high-frequency turnover in light logistics scenarios. The flat plastic tray, with its seamless surface and reinforced design with built-in steel pipes, balances hygiene and safety with load-bearing capacity, and is widely used in fields such as medicine and food that require strict cleanliness. In recent years, double-sided welded pallets have been further improved in structural stability through two injection molding processes, becoming a standard configuration for automated warehousing systems. These styles comprehensively cover diverse needs from traditional manufacturing to intelligent logistics through precise mechanical design and functional zoning.
The average weight of plastic pallets is reduced by 40% compared to wooden pallets, and when combined with forklift operations, it can improve handling efficiency by 25%. A test conducted by a certain automobile manufacturing enterprise shows that the material turnover time has been reduced by 18%, confirming its positioning as the "secret weapon of efficient logistics".
Whole life cycle cost optimization
Although the initial procurement cost is 30% higher, the 8-10 year lifespan (three times that of wooden pallets) reduces the overall cost by 40%. The case of e-commerce companies saving logistics costs of up to 1.2 million yuan annually highlights the long-term investment value.
Adaptability to harsh environments
Stable at extreme temperatures ranging from -30 ℃ to+50 ℃, its moisture resistance extends the lifespan of seafood trays from 3 months to 3-5 years, reducing the loss rate of goods due to moisture by 80%.
