Pallet is a tool widely used in the field of logistics and transportation, its main function is to facilitate the handling and stacking of goods. Typically made of wood, plastic or metal, pallets are structurally designed to carry heavy loads while providing a degree of stability and durability. Due to its efficiency and convenience, pallets play an integral role in modern supply chains.
In the logistics process, pallets can not only protect goods from collision and damage during transportation, but also improve loading and unloading efficiency. Due to the standardized size of pallets, many transport vehicles, such as forklifts and trucks, can be easily loaded and unloaded. This unified design makes the storage and management of goods more efficient, helping to reduce operating time and labor costs.
There are various types of pallets, which can be divided into various types according to different materials and uses. Wooden pallets are widely used because of their relatively low cost and strong carrying capacity, but because wood is susceptible to moisture and deformation, they are not suitable for use in some special environments. Plastic pallets are moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for use in harsh environments, despite their higher cost. With its strong durability and carrying capacity, metal pallets are suitable for heavy industry and high temperature environments, but the weight is larger and it is not as convenient as the previous two.
With the development of science and technology, the design and manufacturing process of pallets is also improving. Smart pallets are gradually entering the market, and through embedded sensors and RFID technology, these pallets can monitor the status of goods in real time and provide accurate inventory management information. This new pallet not only improves the efficiency of logistics management,but also provides support for enterprises to achieve digital transformation.
