With the rapid development of the logistics industry and the increasing complexity of warehousing needs, plastic pallets, as an important logistics unit, are constantly innovating and enriching their types. This article will provide a detailed introduction to several common types of plastic pallets in the current market, helping you better understand and choose the pallet that suits your needs.
1、 Classified by structure
Single sided tray
Features: Only one side is flat, and the other side has a supporting skeleton, commonly used for storing lightweight products
Types: including Chuan, Tian, Jiujiao, etc. Among them, Sichuan style pallets are widely used in various warehouses and storage systems due to their stable structure and strong load-bearing capacity; The T-shaped pallet, with its excellent stability and load-bearing capacity, performs well in the storage and turnover of goods; The nine legged tray, with its lightweight and flexible characteristics, is suitable for the turnover of goods with low load requirements.
Double sided tray
Features: Can be used on both sides, with strong load-bearing capacity, suitable for storing and handling heavy goods.
Types: including grid double-sided, blow molded double-sided, flat double-sided, etc. Single sided pallets are suitable for industries such as warehousing, logistics, and supermarkets, and can be transported by forklifts or manual handling equipment.
2、 Classified by process
Injection molded tray: It is formed using injection molding technology and has a surface shape of flat plates, grids, etc., with a variety of bottom structures.
Application: Widely used in industries such as food and beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical, logistics, etc. Injection molded pallets are lightweight, easy to handle and operate, moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant, but have weak impact resistance and slightly poor load-bearing performance.
Blow molded tray: formed by blow molding process, with a flat structure and groove design in appearance, available in single-sided and double-sided trays.
Application: Mainly used in heavy industry, food freezing industry, etc. Blow molded pallets have better load-bearing capacity, strong impact resistance, and are suitable for harsh environments, but they have fewer product types and are not easy to put on shelves.
3、 Classified by molding
Integrated molding tray: a plastic tray that is processed and molded in one go through injection molding or blow molding processes.
Assembly tray: A plastic tray that is produced through injection molding of panels and legs, and then assembled into a second shape.
Welding tray: A plastic tray formed by secondary hot melt welding after injection molding the panels and legs.
There are various types of plastic pallets with their own advantages and disadvantages, and users should choose according to their actual needs. When choosing, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the weight of the goods, the usage environment, and storage requirements to ensure that the selected pallet can meet the usage requirements, improve logistics efficiency, and ensure the safety of the goods.
