Plastic pallets are an indispensable and important logistics unit in the field of modern intelligent logistics. They not only improve the efficiency of cargo handling and storage, but also respond to the call for environmental protection and reduce the destruction of forest resources. The plastic pallets are combined with standard loading and unloading forklifts to form a complete and compatible operating process. So, what should be paid attention to when using plastic pallets?
What issues should be noted when using plastic pallets
Generally speaking, the service life of plastic pallets is approximately 3-5 years. In practical use, there are many factors that affect the lifespan of pallets.
1. Whether overloading occurs during use: Different plastic pallets have different upper limits for dynamic and static load-bearing capacity. When purchasing pallets, companies should choose suitable plastic pallets based on actual load-bearing requirements to avoid long-term operation in overloaded transportation environments.
2. The operational level of forklift drivers: When carrying out related operations, forklifts should enter in the direction of the fork inlet to avoid damage to plastic pallets caused by the impact of forklift legs.
3. Usage environment and temperature: Extreme temperatures and long-term exposure to sunlight can accelerate the aging of plastic pallets.
4. Other issues to note during use: The service life of plastic pallets is largely affected by usage and operation methods. In order to ensure or extend the service life of pallets, we should pay attention to the placement of warehouse goods when storing pallets to avoid inconvenience in transportation and movement when pallets are needed. In addition, it can also increase the stacking height of goods, safely and effectively utilize space, and improve efficiency. Place pallets of the same model in one area to avoid transportation and loading/unloading troubles, and reduce the process of selecting goods. Do not place pallets randomly, classify and store them according to their shape to prevent deformation and ensure the dryness of the warehouse, so as to avoid the influence of chemicals on the pallets. Regular inspections and maintenance should be carried out.
The service life of plastic pallets is closely related to the working environment and standardized operation. Reasonable and standardized use of plastic pallets is a necessary condition for safe and efficient production.
