A nine legged flat plastic pallet is a logistics vehicle that is made of thermoplastic materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) and is integrally molded through injection molding process. Its name comes from the bottom structure of the pallet - evenly distributed with 9 cylindrical or square column support legs, with a flat cargo surface at the top, and a grid or flat plate design as a whole. The nine legged structure ensures load-bearing capacity while reducing self weight, combining lightweight and high-strength characteristics, and is a widely used standardized logistics equipment in industrial and commercial fields.
Structural characteristics
Nine legged support design: The bottom nine legs are symmetrically arranged to enhance compression resistance and stability, disperse cargo weight, and reduce deformation risk.
Flat surface: The cargo surface is flat and smooth, facilitating stable stacking of goods. Some models are designed with anti slip patterns or embedded in steel frames to enhance friction.
Lightweight and Strong Resilience: Made of engineering plastic material, it weighs only one-third of a wooden pallet, but has better impact resistance and corrosion resistance, suitable for environments ranging from -25 ℃ to 60 ℃.
Standardized dimensions: Common specifications include 1200mm × 1000mm, 1100mm × 1100mm, etc., which comply with ISO international freight container standards and are suitable for shelves, forklifts, and automated transportation systems.
Industry application scenarios
Food and medicine: The characteristics of moisture resistance, mold prevention, and easy cleaning comply with GMP/HACCP hygiene standards, and are used for the turnover of raw materials and finished products.
Automobile manufacturing: carrying parts, line side warehouse material flow, oil stain resistance and aging resistance.
Chemical electronics: corrosion-resistant materials suitable for storing chemicals; Insulation protection for precision instruments.
Select materials and structures based on load requirements (dynamic load 0.5-1.5 tons, static load 4-6 tons) and usage scenarios (whether to enter cold storage or come into contact with chemicals). For example, the food industry can choose blue low-temperature resistant HDPE material, and the chemical industry should choose thick PP pallets.
Nine legged flat plastic pallets have become an indispensable infrastructure equipment in modern logistics systems due to their scientific structure, strong durability, and universal applicability. With the development of intelligent manufacturing and green supply chain, their advantages of high efficiency and environmental protection will further promote the standardization process of the industry.
