What should I pay attention to when choosing and using pallets?

Pallets are the smallest carrier unit in logistics transportation and warehousing. The characteristics of small and many determine that the use and planning of pallets have a great impact on the direct cost, indirect cost, and efficiency of warehousing. So what should be paid attention to when choosing and using pallets?

1. Comply with the maximum benefit standard.

The layout method is selected according to the actual situation of the warehouse, and the overall topography and environmental conditions of the warehouse need to be considered. The selected layout should meet the needs of cargo handling and storage, and make full use of the warehouse's capacity. In addition to the reasonable utilization of the ground, the three-dimensional capacity should also be rationally utilized.

2. Comply with continuous operation standards.

Warehouses need to adhere to operational optimization practices and try to achieve one-off operations. This can reduce the number and quantity of labor and loading and unloading, and the distance of goods turnover can also be greatly reduced.

3. Comply with the fastest turnaround standard.

The warehouse layout should also consider the turnover rate of goods and follow the principle of the fastest turnover rate. For goods with high turnover or high turnover, it is recommended to place plastic pallets in a fixed position close to the logistics outlet. The position of the plastic pallet should also change according to the production time of the goods, the storage environment of the product, the turnover rate, and the position of the warehouse layout is not static.

4. Comply with the standards for effective storage of goods.

Due to different storage environments and conditions, different goods should be stored according to the actual situation. Mixing is not recommended to prevent cargo damage. At the same time, it is not recommended to mix and place plastic pallets of goods suitable for different turnover equipment, nor is it recommended to mix and place goods with too large differences in volume and weight. It will affect the use of warehouse equipment and increase the difficulty of operation. Goods that require different fire fighting methods cannot be mixed, which will cause great safety hazards and increase the difficulty of fire fighting and the risk of fire fighting.

5. Comply with the minimum standard of space occupation.

When planning the route of equipment turnover goods, minimize the area occupied by the aisle. According to the actual situation of the warehouse, consider the size and specification of the plastic pallet, and plan the route reasonably to avoid insufficient cargo space or low utilization rate of the cargo space.

6. Comply with the maximum standard of space utilization.

Maximize the use of the volume of the warehouse, that is, maximize the use of the height area of the warehouse. The warehouse layout is, don't just use the floor area of the warehouse. The three-dimensional planning of plastic pallets is also very important, which is conducive to the storage of goods and the utilization of positions.
