Pallets are a common logistics and transportation tool, widely used in various industries. Its main function is to facilitate the storage, handling and loading of items, which significantly improves the work efficiency. Pallets are usually made of wood, plastic or metal and have a certain load-bearing capacity to support the goods together stably, avoiding tipping or damage during handling and transportation.

The advantage of using pallets is first reflected in the improvement of efficiency. In warehousing and transportation, pallets can make items neatly arranged, convenient for forklifts, stackers and other equipment to carry out. Compared with the traditional manual handling method, the time and physical consumption required by the staff is greatly reduced after the use of pallets. In addition, the standardized size of pallets makes the loading of transport vehicles such as containers and trucks more convenient and efficient, saving space.

Secondly, pallets can also effectively protect the goods. In the process of transportation, the goods are often shaken and impacted, which is easy to cause damage. After the use of pallets, the goods can be firmly fixed together, reducing the risk of movement. For example, stacked palletized goods can be further strengthened by bundling or wrapping, greatly reducing the incidence of accidents.

There are also a variety of pallets to adapt to different needs. Wooden pallets are the most common and are widely used because of their low cost. The plastic tray has the advantages of better corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, which is suitable for industries with high hygiene requirements such as food and medicine. Metal pallets are widely used in heavy cargo transportation because of their super load-bearing capacity.
