Plastic pallet is a widely used logistics utensil, which has the advantages of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and low quality. However, the quality of plastic pallets on the market is uneven, and choosing the right plastic pallet is essential to ensure logistics efficiency and reduce costs. This article will explain how to choose the right plastic pallet to avoid the problems caused by improper selection.
1. Clarify the demand for plastic pallets.
Before choosing a plastic pallet, you need to be clear about your needs. For example, the weight, size and shape of the goods that need to be carried, as well as the environment in which they will be used. When choosing, it is necessary to consider according to the actual needs and avoid choosing a tray that is too small or too large, resulting in inconvenience or waste.
Second, the choice of materials.
The materials of plastic pallets are generally polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc. Among them, plastic pallets made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) are the most commonly used because of their high strength and impact resistance, which can withstand heavier loads. In addition, plastic pallets made of PP material are also commonly used, which have good heat resistance and chemical resistance.
3. Structure selection.
The structure of plastic pallets generally has flat plates, grids, corrugations, etc. Plastic pallets with flat structure are suitable for carrying lighter goods, pallets with grid structure are suitable for carrying heavier goods, and pallets with corrugated structure are suitable for occasions with high requirements for anti-slip and shock absorption. When choosing, it is necessary to consider according to the actual needs and choose the structural form that is suitable for your own use.
Fourth, size selection.
Size is also an important factor to consider when choosing a plastic pallet. It is necessary to consider according to the size of your warehouse, the size of the means of transport, and the size of the goods, and avoid choosing plastic pallets that are too large or too small. Generally speaking, the commonly used plastic pallet sizes are 1200mm*1000mm and 1100mm*1100mm, etc.
Fifth, brand reputation.
When choosing plastic pallets, we should pay attention to choosing products from regular manufacturers and avoid choosing inferior or counterfeit products. You can choose the right brand by checking the quality certification certificate of the product, understanding the production scale and credibility of the manufacturer, etc.
Sixth, maintenance.
During the use of plastic pallets, it is necessary to pay attention to maintenance. Avoid using the tray in an overly rough way to avoid scratching or damaging the surface. At the same time, the tray should be cleaned regularly to keep it clean and tidy to prolong the service life. When storing, avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures, and keep it dry and ventilated.
To sum up, there are many factors to consider when choosing the right plastic pallet, including needs, materials, structure, size, brand reputation and maintenance. Only by taking these factors into account can we choose the right plastic pallet to ensure logistics efficiency and reduce costs. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the use and maintenance of the tray to prolong its service life.
