Forklift plastic pallets can be divided into single-sided and double-sided, Tian Zi, Chuan Zi and other types according to their structure. Single sided pallets are lightweight and easy to use, suitable for handling light goods; Double sided pallets have even load-bearing capacity and are easy to stack and store; The Tianzi structure enhances stability through bottom longitudinal and transverse support beams, making it suitable for high-density storage; The Sichuan style pallet is supported by three longitudinal beams to distribute weight, with a dynamic load capacity of 1.5-2 tons and a maximum static load of 8 tons, significantly better than traditional wooden pallets. In addition, the four-way fork design is suitable for forklift operations, improving the efficiency of mechanized handling.
Using materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP), plastic trays combine lightweight and high strength. Its weight is only one-third of that of a wooden pallet, but it has stronger impact resistance and is not easily deformed or cracked after long-term use. For example, in the food cold chain, Sichuan style pallets can withstand frequent forklift operations, while wooden pallets are prone to moisture and decay, affecting the quality of goods.
Plastic material is naturally hydrophobic and can effectively resist mold growth in humid environments, making it particularly suitable for industries with strict hygiene requirements such as food and medicine. Smooth surface with no pores design, dust and stains can be directly washed with water, and the cleaning efficiency is more than 50% higher than that of wooden pallets. Taking a pharmaceutical warehouse as an example, pallets need to be frequently disinfected, and the easy to clean nature of plastic pallets greatly reduces hygiene maintenance costs.
Plastic pallets are produced using recyclable materials and can be 100% recycled after disposal, in line with the trend of green logistics. Its standardized size (such as 1200 × 1000mm) is highly compatible with automated warehousing equipment, reducing empty pallet storage space and further optimizing warehousing efficiency through nested design. Although the initial cost is higher than that of wooden pallets, their 10-year lifespan and low maintenance characteristics reduce their long-term usage costs by more than 30%.
