The extensive expansion of pallet racking enhances warehouse operational efficiency

Pallet racking, as the name suggests, is a type of shelving system that utilizes palletized units for goods storage, equipped with aisle stacker cranes and other storage and transportation machinery for operation.

Pallet racking consists of columns and beams, so what exactly are the pallets in the pallet racking?

A pallet is an extremely simple tool used for carrying goods, which is not a container and cannot protect the goods by enclosing them.

A pallet generally refers to a platform made of wood, metal, or plastic.

There are slots beneath the pallet for forklifts to insert from below and lift the platform for loading and unloading goods.

The pallet board with this basic structure, along with various forms of unitized packaging containers based on this structure, can all be collectively referred to as pallets.

The simplest form of pallet is the cargo board, a wooden device designed to standard dimensions, where goods are placed on it to achieve a grouped effect.

During operation, the entire pallet can be moved and stored, enabling efficient loading, unloading, transportation, and storage of goods, thereby improving operational efficiency.

Since the sides of the pallet are almost open, the stability of the stack is insufficient. To enhance operational safety, additional packaging measures must be implemented.

Common measures to enhance stability involve securing cargo with ropes, corner posts, steel bands, and similar materials. In recent years, there has been a greater reliance on new materials for shrink wrapping or stretch wrapping.

During loading and unloading, stack individual items on the pallet, secure them firmly with shrink film to form a large package, known as "pallet packaging." The load capacity is typically categorized as 1 ton, 1.5 tons, or 2 tons!

Shibang reminds you: When customizing pallet racking, in addition to considering the size and weight of the goods, you must also take into account the dimensions of the pallet. Only by customizing the pallet racking based on the pallet's dimensions can it be used in conjunction with the pallet!
