Plastic pallets play an important role in the warehousing and transportation industry. The use of plastic pallets not only improves the storage and transportation efficiency of enterprises, but also has a beautiful and elegant appearance, making it convenient for unified and standardized management. As more and more companies choose to replace wooden pallets with plastic pallets, how to choose plastic pallets has become the first problem to face. Let's take a look at the five elements of choosing plastic pallets together.
How to choose plastic pallets
Firstly, the selection of plastic pallets must be based on the application scenario and load capacity. For example, the pallets required for heavy-duty shelves may differ from those for ground accumulation. In this case, the dynamic load capacity should be considered instead of the static load capacity.
Secondly, when selecting pallets, enterprises should fully consider the five key elements of durability, strength, stiffness, functionality, and price, and establish a sound pallet asset management process to reduce maintenance costs and ensure safe transportation.
Durability: 1. Full lifecycle cost of pallets 2. Recycling rate of pallets 3. Residual value of pallets
Stiffness: This mainly refers to the bending and compression resistance of the pallet.
Function: When carrying goods on pallets, consideration should be given to dynamic loading, whether it is sufficient and applicable in each logistics link it goes through, including shelving, stacking, and nesting, as well as auxiliary functions such as anti slip and bundling.
Price: Price is not the most important factor, it is a factor that needs to be comprehensively evaluated after determining a series of factors such as tray life, residual value, function, and process consumption, and should be considered when determining the purchase price.
At present, plastic pallets have entered the standardization stage, with clear specifications for domestic conventional pallet sizes, overseas import and export standard sizes, European standard sizes, and so on. The unified standards mean further improvement of container modularization, accelerating the industrial development of the entire warehousing and logistics chain.
