A pallet is a connecting pad for placing goods. According to different usage requirements and manufacturing materials, it can be divided into various types such as wood, plastic wood, plastic, metal, paper, etc.
The use of pallets can be basically divided into laying, stacking, and shelf use in static state, with increasing load-bearing requirements. The load-bearing capacity of a pallet is reflected in three aspects: static load, dynamic load, and shelf load, and the load-bearing index of the same pallet decreases sequentially in these three aspects.
Wooden pallets:
The performance and characteristics of wooden pallets come from the wood itself, and materials are the decisive factor in determining the application and price of wooden pallets.
Defects of wooden pallets:
① Wood is susceptible to moisture, mold, insect infestation, and cannot be cleaned. In addition, the problem of wood chips falling off the surface and screws rusting cannot be overcome.
② Due to the fact that wood is a natural material, its quality is influenced by various factors such as regional climate. Even for the same batch of raw materials, it is difficult to meet unified standards in terms of dryness, humidity, and wind cracking.
③ Wooden pallets have a short service life, with a turnover frequency of approximately 200-300 times during regular use.
