As the core carrier of logistics transportation, the standardized size design of plastic pallets directly affects the storage and transportation efficiency of goods. The national standard recommends two specifications: 1200mm × 1000mm and 1100mm × 1100mm. The former is suitable for international shelves and containers, while the latter is widely used in Asia for regional logistics coordination. The size selection should take into account the characteristics of the goods and compatibility with the transportation vehicle. For example, large machinery is suitable for wide pallets, while lightweight goods are matched with compact designs to optimize stacking stability and space utilization. In the future, with the development of intelligent logistics, size standards will pay more attention to modularity and flexibility, promoting industry cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
The innovation of materials and processes is the key to improving the performance of plastic pallets. The new HDPE/PP material has become the preferred choice in the food and pharmaceutical industry due to its corrosion resistance and easy cleaning properties; The advancement of injection molding and blow molding processes endows trays with higher load-bearing and impact resistance capabilities. The new national standard has added a classification based on the molding process, such as emphasizing wall thickness uniformity for injection molded trays and focusing on the strength of the fork inlet for blow molded trays. These detailed improvements significantly extend the service life. Under the trend of greening, the application of recyclable materials and UV resistant additives has further expanded the applicability of outdoor scenes.
The revision of the new national standard GB/T 15234-2025 marks the industry's transition towards refinement and environmental protection. The standard has added a classification based on rated load (such as 500kg to 1500kg) and introduced new processes such as welding and assembly to meet diverse logistics needs. The strengthening of indicators such as bending stiffness and static friction coefficient in performance requirements ensures the safety of pallets during dynamic handling. This change not only standardizes market competition, but also provides full process guidance for enterprises from design to testing, helping the industry to develop with high quality.
The popularization of national standard sizes for plastic pallets from warehousing to transportation has profoundly reshaped the logistics ecology. The universality of standard sizes reduces equipment adaptation costs, while customized options support special scenario requirements, such as ventilation design for cold chain logistics. With the integration of Internet of Things technology, smart pallets achieve cargo tracking through built-in chips, promoting supply chain transparency. In the future, the dual evolution of lightweight and intelligence will continue to consolidate the pillar position of plastic pallets in modern logistics.
