What are the advantages of plastic pallet?

Pallet, as a kind of container-like equipment, has been widely used in the fields of production, transportation, storage and distribution, and is considered as one of the two innovations in the logistics industry in the 20th century. A pallet is a horizontal platform device for loading, stacking, handling, and transporting goods and articles that are unit loads.There are many types of pallets, such as plastic pallets, wooden pallets, steel pallets, etc. Now plastic pallets are widely used, what are its advantages? Next, let's talk about its advantages.

What are the characteristics of wooden pallets?

Wooden pallets are pallets made from natural wood. It is now the most widely used because it is cheap and strong. Advantages: high precision, not easy to deform, reinforced with high-strength screws, no nails, good firmness

Disadvantages:

1. Wood is susceptible to moisture, mold, insects and cannot be cleaned. In addition, the problem of surface chipping and screw rusting cannot be overcome.

2. During use, the screw is easy to scratch the outer packaging of the product, which poses a safety hazard.

3. The wooden pallet has a short service life, and the number of turns in the conventional use is about 200-300 times.

4. The wooden pallets must be treated by fumigation and then exported. The time and cost of fumigation is large (usually 48 hours, the cost is about 20% of the cost), and the agent used for fumigation (such as brominated methanol) is a harmful preparation.

What are the characteristics of steel pallets?

The metal tray is made of stainless steel, which is often used for placing items and does not move often. The metal tray is the strongest of all material trays. Moreover, the use environment is subject to small restrictions and high load capacity, and is suitable for use in environments where chemical strength, logistics, etc. are required for high strength of the tray. Moreover, the steel tray is not limited by the use temperature, and is easy to maintain and has a long service life. However, the mountain-steel tray has a heavy body and is heavy and manual. In some warehouse environments where ground protection is required, steel pallet welding is exposed to defects such as damage to the ground and cargo.

What are the advantages of plastic pallets relative to them?

One. It has better durability than wooden pallets and has a long service life of 5-8 years. It is resistant to acid and alkali.

two. It is more reliable than wooden pallets. Easy to handle and operate, light and sturdy, low wear and no slipping, no maintenance required.

three. It has a special purpose. Special industry drills such as food and medical appearance colors are available.

four. It is environmentally friendly. Recycling after damage is discarded, reducing waste disposal costs

Fives. Although metal trays have many advantages, they are heavy and expensive. So it will be a lot easier to buy.

In conclusion

The plastic tray is made of high-strength material, which is light in weight, easy to use, and has anti-slip function. It is mostly used in the service industry. Moreover, the plastic tray structure is designed reasonably and the use is more standardized. The new plastic pallets can last up to 8 to 10 years under normal use. Plastic pallets can be used in a wider range, such as Rackable Plastic Pallet, Stackable Plastic Pallet, and the like. This is not possible with trays of many other materials.
