When we use plastic pallets, we often need to use them with forklifts. It has a variety of types to choose from, such as 9 feet, Full Perimeter, 3 runners, double-sided, etc., and can be equipped with steel pipes, which is very convenient and efficient to use.
Forklift plastic pallets have advantages that cannot be ignored in warehousing and transportation, cargo turnover, etc. For example, loading and unloading a vehicle, if it is carried by manpower alone, it will take at least 5 to 6 hours to complete. The forklift pallet only needs one person to spend one hour to complete, which effectively saves labor costs and time costs, and improves work efficiency.
In addition, forklift pallets can also be used in high-rise shelves, saving a lot of space and improving the storage rate.
So do you know how to choose the right forklift plastic pallet?
1. When choosing a plastic pallet, the specifications selected will be different depending on the required items.
(1) First consider the specific specifications of the goods and the way they are placed on the plastic pallet.
(2) Consider the situation of pallet loading tools (such as containers, trucks, etc.).
(3) If it is used on warehouse shelves, the width and depth of the shelf should be considered. Usually, two pallets are placed on each layer of the selected shelf, and about 200mm of storage activity space is reserved. Give a large size in the depth direction, so that there is no strict requirement on the carrying capacity of the plastic pallet, so as to save the purchase cost.
(4) The size of the plastic pallet should also consider the versatility. Currently, the commonly used sizes are 1210 international standard type, 1208 European standard type and T11 Japanese standard type.
2. Choice of single-sided and double-sided
The choice of single-sided pallet or double-sided pallet should be determined according to the corresponding storage, loading and unloading handling equipment and status (such as warehouse type, shelf type, stacking or placement status).
For automatic three-dimensional warehouses or high-level racks with small footprints, where stackers or electric forklifts are the main vertical transportation, both double-sided heavy-duty series pallets and single-sided standard series pallets can be selected.
If the load on the shelf reaches one ton, and there is no plank or spacer in the middle of the shelf, the heavy-duty series pallet must be used.
For occasions with a large area and horizontal transportation, it is suitable to use a single-sided pallet if it is transported by a manual hydraulic truck; if it is transported by an electric forklift, both single-sided and double-sided pallets are suitable. If the goods need to be stacked, that is, the bottom of the pallet coincides with the top of the goods below, use a double-sided pallet or a full perimeter single-sided pallet. If transporting with a self-propelled motorized pallet jack, choose a nine feet single-sided pallet without a connecting bar at the bottom.
I hope the above suggestions can help you choose a satisfactory plastic pallet for use with forklifts.
