The scale specification of plastic pallets is an important specification of the logistics unit. Pallet and storage shelves, transferred goods, containers, transport vehicles, unloading platform, and transfer equipment have a direct relationship, so the standard scale of pallet is to think of other logistics equipment standard scale basis. For example, the most common beam width scales of pallet beam shelves are 2300mm and 2700mm, with the former housing two 1,200mm × 1,000mm pallets and the latter three 1,200mm ×800mm pallets. Here, especially worth mentioning is to establish a useful pallet sharing system, it is necessary to use a consistent standard pallet, pallet standardization is the pallet work has been the premise. The following elements should be considered when selecting a pallet scale:
1. Think about the standard scale of transportation tools and equipment
The appropriate pallet scale should conform to the scale of transport tools, can make full use of the space of transport tools, improve the loading rate, reduce transport costs, especially to think about the size of shipping containers and transport commercial vehicles inside the box.
2. Think about the packaging standard of pallet-loaded goods
Select suitable pallets according to the packing standards of pallets, maximize the surface area of the pallets and control the height of the center of gravity of the pallets. The reasonable goal of the pallet load is to reach a surface area utilization rate of 80% of the pallet and the height of the center of gravity of the pallet load should not exceed two-thirds of the pallet width.
3. The universality of pallet scale should be considered
Should as far as possible choose the pallet standard of international standard, facilitate the communication of pallet and apply.
4. Consider the application area of the pallet scale
