Pallets and pallet racks are indispensable in the warehousing process, especially for goods with larger and heavier packaging specifications, pallets and pallet racks are indispensable. So, how to choose pallets and pallet racks? The selection of pallets and pallet racks is mainly to figure out the material selection and different structural advantages, determine their own characteristics, and match them appropriately. Let's take a brief look!
Selection of pallets
Pallets are divided into plastic pallets, steel pallets, wooden pallets, etc. according to the selected materials. Generally speaking, pallets have a temperature range in which their performance can be normally exerted, and pallets also have certain requirements for the humidity of their use environment. Therefore, the temperature and humidity of different use environments directly affect the selection of pallet manufacturing materials. According to experience, plastic pallets tend to become hard and brittle in a low temperature environment, and tend to become soft in a high temperature environment. Its use temperature is best controlled at -25°~40°; wooden pallets have strong hygroscopicity and cannot be used in a humid environment, otherwise the service life will be greatly reduced. In addition, pallets also require the cleanliness of the use environment. In highly polluted environments, pollution-resistant and easy-to-clean plastic pallets must be selected. In addition, plastic pallets should also be selected for goods with strong corrosiveness to reduce the frequency of pallet replacement and the cost of loss of goods, which is of great significance to the long-term development of enterprises. In short, the most important thing about pallet selection is to figure out the characteristics and needs of the enterprise itself.

According to the bottom structure, pallets are divided into nine-legged pallets, Sichuan-shaped pallets, and Tian-shaped pallets. Under normal circumstances, enterprises should choose pallets based on the characteristics of the forklift's forks, load requirements, and other application conditions. The structure of the pallet directly affects the efficiency of the pallet. The appropriate structure can give full play to the characteristics of the forklift's high-efficiency operation. When the pallet is used on the shelf, the structure of the shelf and the dynamic load of the pallet should be considered. For example, the pallet often configured for the through shelf is a Sichuan-shaped pallet, and if the load is relatively large, a double-sided pallet should also be used.
Selection of pallet racks
Pallet racks are a type of rack for the purpose of storing and retrieving pallet goods. They are composed of columns and beams. They have a simple structure, are safe and reliable, and can be equipped with pallets of appropriate sizes according to the characteristics of the goods and customer needs, and set up cargo positions to facilitate the storage and retrieval of goods. They have the advantages of heavy load-bearing capacity, wide range of height adaptability, mechanical storage and retrieval, and high selection efficiency. They are widely used in all walks of life. According to the experience of Korred, the number of layers of pallet racks can be determined according to the height of the warehouse, the height of each pallet cargo position and other conditions. The bottom layer can store pallets directly on the ground without beams, saving costs. As for which structure of pallet racks to choose, more consideration is given to user needs. Ordinary pallet racks have a picking efficiency of 100%, but limited space utilization, while shuttle pallet racks have low picking efficiency, but high space utilization, and higher efficiency and safety, which gradually become the mainstream trend in the market.
