The choice of two-sided and single-sided plastic pallets According to what kind of loading and unloading and handling equipment, or automatic warehouse, pallet racking, accumulation, flat laying and other storage conditions to decide whether to use single-sided or double-sided. For high-level racks with a small floor space, where vertical conveyance is the main focus, forklift loading and unloading are the main ones, so both sides and single sides are acceptable. For the occasions where the area is large and the transportation is mainly horizontal, if the manual pallet truck is used, the single-sided pallet is used, and if the self-propelled motorized pallet truck is used, the notched pallet without slats below is used. In the case of multi-stage stacking with a pallet palletizer, the bottom of the pallet overlaps with the top of the lower cargo. It is better to use a two-sided plastic pallet with a small clearance below.
Because it is suitable for the lateral width of the conveying equipment, 1100 X 1100mm is used for plastic pallets with 2-way forks, and 1100 X 1100mm or 100 X 1200mm for plastic pallets with 4-way forks.
For automatic machinery and equipment such as automatic warehouses with two-point support for plastic pallets, the two-way fork is better in terms of high strength. For wooden pallets that have been repaired and used for a long time, the easy-to-repair 2-way fork is better.
Therefore, to be able to repair the long-term use, choose a strong 2-way fork plastic pallet, and choose a lighter 4-way advance difference for plastic pallets that are no longer reused. The spacer-shaped 4-way fork pallet uses less material than the 2-way fork plastic pallet, and the raw material cost is low. However, the shape of the plastic pallet is complicated and the manufacturing cost is increased. Comprehensive consideration, the 2-way fork is better.
Because the automatic warehouse is supported by two points, the 2-way fork supported by truss beams is strong and safe. The size of pallets suitable for transportation equipment, the size of transportation equipment such as sea containers and trucks are regulated by ISO or some national standards. Its horizontal width is about 2300mm. If one row of pallets is placed in the horizontal direction, the carrier size will be too large and the plastic pallets will be difficult to load and unload, so two rows should be placed. Taking into account the horizontal width of 2300mm in two rows and the gap required for the operation, it is more appropriate to divide the 2200mm into 2 parts.
According to the above principles, considering that the width is 2300mm, the size of the pallet suitable for the container is 1100X1100mm (2 rows) or 1000X1200mm (horizontal and vertical combination). In the length direction, since the length is several times of the horizontal width, the length direction has little effect on the placement of the tray, so it can be ignored. From the perspective of horizontal suitability, 1100 X 1100mm is suitable for both 2-way and 4-way forks, while 1000 X 1200mm can only be 4-way forks. Because the pallet is rectangular, it can only be placed with 4-way forks.
