Choosing the right pallet for your forklift is not only practical but also cost-effective. Generally, you need to select a forklift pallet based on the weight, type, and material of the goods. Do you often find it frustrating to choose a forklift pallet each time?

Choosing the right forklift pallet is really both useful and cost-effective. Generally, it is necessary to select forklift pallets based on the weight, type, and material of the goods. Does everyone find it very troublesome to choose forklift pallets each time?

Forklift pallets are used to facilitate the loading, unloading, transportation, storage, and distribution of goods. A forklift pallet consists of a load-bearing surface that can carry a certain number of items and a forklift entry point. Forklift pallets are an inconspicuous yet ubiquitous logistics tool in the logistics industry, serving as the main means of converting static goods into dynamic goods.

Generally, forklift pallets are divided into three main categories: standard vacuum-formed forklift pallets, lightweight vacuum-formed forklift pallets, and heavy-duty rack vacuum-formed forklift pallets.

Standard forklift pallets refer to those suitable for use on flat ground. Forklift pallets are one of the essential logistics equipment that must be used in conjunction with forklifts. Forklift pallets can load, stack, and transport goods, but it is generally not recommended to use them on shelves because the load capacity of standard forklift pallets is not very large, typically reaching 1000KG for dynamic load and 4000KG for static load. Heavier forklift pallets can only reach 200-300KG on shelves, which can easily lead to danger if the load capacity is exceeded. Therefore, standard forklift pallets are more suitable for placing some not-too-heavy products.

Standard forklift pallets come in different forms such as grid-shaped vacuum-formed forklift pallets, grid-shaped field-type vacuum-formed forklift pallets, flat-shaped vacuum-formed forklift pallets, and flat-shaped nine-foot vacuum-formed forklift pallets, suitable for different users. However, the most commonly used are grid-shaped vacuum-formed forklift pallets and grid-shaped field-type vacuum-formed forklift pallets.

Heavy-duty rack vacuum-formed forklift pallets are specialized forklift pallets for shelves in warehouses or high-rise storage. Plastic forklift pallets for shelves generally require steel pipes to be added inside the vacuum-formed forklift pallets, with the number of steel pipes varying based on actual load requirements. Rack vacuum-formed forklift pallets have a relatively large load capacity, typically reaching 1.5T for dynamic load and 6T for static load, with rack load capacity reaching 0.8T. Therefore, heavy-duty rack vacuum-formed forklift pallets are more suitable for placing heavier goods. When selecting rack vacuum-formed forklift pallets, it should be based on the structure of different racks. When placing vacuum-formed forklift pallets on shelves, they should be kept stable on the shelf beams, and the length of the vacuum-formed forklift pallets should be more than 50mm greater than the outer diameter of the shelf beams.

Heavy-duty rack vacuum-formed forklift pallets are widely used in manufacturing industries such as beverages, food, tobacco, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. They come in different forms such as grid-shaped vacuum-formed forklift pallets, grid-shaped field-type vacuum-formed forklift pallets, flat-shaped vacuum-formed forklift pallets, flat-shaped large nine-foot vacuum-formed forklift pallets, and blow-molded flat nine-foot vacuum-formed forklift pallets, suitable for different users.
