The specifications and dimensions of plastic pallets are important standards for the modularization of logistics. Plastic pallets are directly related to storage shelves, products being transported, containers, transport vehicles, unloading platforms, and handling facilities. Therefore, the specifications and dimensions of plastic pallets are the basis for considering the specifications and dimensions of other logistics equipment.
Dimensions of plastic pallets
Plastic tray size (length x width, unit: mm） 1200 x 1000， Abbreviated as 1210, and so on, there are many heights for plastic pallets, with standard heights of 140mm and 150mm. Customers can choose the most suitable plastic pallet specification based on the size of the plastic pallet.
If it is a specific industry, you can choose a specific specialized plastic tray size. Below, for general situations, the IoT cloud warehouse will introduce several factors that should be considered when choosing pallet size:
1. Consider the specifications and dimensions of transportation vehicles and equipment: The appropriate pallet size should conform to the dimensions of the transportation vehicle, which can fully utilize the space of the transportation vehicle, improve loading rate, and reduce transportation costs, especially considering the internal dimensions of sea freight containers and commercial vehicles.
2. Consider the packaging specifications for loading goods on pallets: Choose the appropriate pallet based on the packaging specifications for loading goods on pallets, maximize the use of the surface area of the pallet, and control the center of gravity height of the loaded goods. The reasonable indicator for carrying goods on pallets is to achieve 80% utilization of the surface area of the pallet, and the height of the center of gravity of the loaded goods should not exceed two-thirds of the width of the pallet.
3. To consider the universality of tray size, international standard tray specifications should be selected as much as possible to facilitate the exchange and use of pallets.
4. To consider the usage area of pallet size: the flow direction of the pallet loaded with goods directly affects the selection of pallet size. Usually, goods heading to Europe should be selected from 1210 pallets (1200mm × 1000mm) or 1208 pallets (1200mm × 800mm); Goods bound for Japan and South Korea should be selected on 1111 pallets (1100mm x 1100mm); Goods heading to Oceania should be selected on pallets measuring 1140mm x 1140mm or 1067mm x 1067mm; Goods heading to the United States should be selected on 48 inch by 40 inch pallets, with 1210 pallets commonly used domestically for shipping to the United States. The 1200mm × 1000mm pallet is widely used globally and also in China.
The size and specifications of plastic pallets vary from country to country and from manufacturer to manufacturer. There are many sizes and specifications of plastic pallets, but most small manufacturers have relatively single sizes and specifications, with only a few or a dozen sizes available. Kuda brand offers a variety of plastic tray products in different sizes and specifications, which can meet the needs of the vast majority of customers.
