    Pallet is one of the common logistics equipment in logistics transportation and warehousing turnover, and it is also one of the most used storage equipment to cooperate with the warehouse racking system. The use of pallets can facilitate the direct handling of goods on warehouse racks with forklifts, which not only improves work efficiency but also saves labor costs.

    There are three kinds of pallets on the market: metal pallets, wood pallets and plastic pallets. Different warehouse rack systems apply to different types of pallets. When using pallets, we should choose according to the actual types of warehouse rack system.

    1、 Radio shuttle rack with plastic pallet

    As an automatic warehouse rack system, radio shuttle racks are used to store the pallets placed on them in depth by shuttle trucks. Plastic pallets are the main types of pallets used and are similar to drive in racks in cargo space. The basic principle of the radio shuttle rack is that the warehouse rack and the movable shuttle car form a simple unit, which can be moved in the warehouse. The warehouse rack with shuttle running inside is controlled by a central console at the front end. Forklifts lift goods (including shuttle trucks) and place them on the central console of the designated warehouse rack. After that, the forklift put the inbound pallet on the shuttle truck to start the warehousing operation. When the forklift wants to store the next pallet, the shuttle truck will quickly and stably transport the pallet to the designated storage location in the warehouse rack.

     

    2、 Heavy duty warehouse rack with metal pallet

    Heavy duty warehouse racks are typical of metal pallets. This kind of warehouse rack can usually have 2-3 metal pallets placed side by side in a group to meet the requirements of placing goods. This kind of duty warehouse rack is also often called pallet rack. When using metal pallets for heavy duty warehouse racks, some problems should be noted. First of all, the position between the metal pallets shall be determined, and proper space shall be reserved between the pallets to facilitate forklift operation; Secondly, the metal pallet should be placed on the crossbeam of the warehouse rack as neatly as possible, and the relationship between the goods and the metal pallet should be handled to avoid safety accidents. The foot of heavy duty warehouse racks must be installed with expansion screws to ensure the stability of pallet racks.

     

    3、 Drive in rack with three types of pallets

    The pallet use of drive in rack, drive in rack is the master of pallet. As the drive in rack is a continuous whole warehouse rack that is not separated by channels, the use of pallets is also continuous, which also reduces space waste, maximizes warehouse utilization, and gives full play to the ability of the warehouse racking system to store goods. In the process of use, pallets can be arranged in one direction and two directions. The total depth of the one-way (wall area) rack should be controlled within 6 pallet depths, and the total depth of the two-way (middle area can be taken from both sides) rack area should be controlled within 12 pallet depths, so as to improve the efficiency of forklift access and rack stability. As for the choice of metal pallet, wood pallet, or plastic pallet, we can combine the rack warehouse, goods and other factors to determine after comprehensive consideration.
