Nowadays, wooden pallets are widely used. Proper use of wooden pallets is beneficial for their longevity. It's essential to add appropriate binding and wrapping to the packaging assembly placed on the pallets, which facilitates mechanical handling and transportation, thereby meeting the requirements for loading, transportation, and storage. What factors can affect the lifespan of the pallets? The editor is here to explain:

Stacking Too High

Some manufacturers stack wooden pallets in multiple layers to save storage space. This practice can lead to excessive pressure on the bottom pallets and increase the risk of collapse, potentially causing accidents. Typically, wooden pallets should only be stacked two high, and wooden covers should be placed between the loads.

2. Forklift Injuries:

When moving wooden pallets, the distance between the forks should be widened as much as possible to beyond the outer edge of the fork entrance. The fork insertion depth should be greater than 2/3 of the entire pallet depth. When using hydraulic trucks and forklifts for the dynamic load of the pallet, maintain a consistent speed for advancing, reversing, and lifting/lowering to avoid abrupt stops or turns that could damage the pallet or cause goods to collapse.

3. Man-made Damage:

Some forklift operators have been撞击 pushing wooden pallets with the forks of their forklifts to complete their tasks ahead of schedule.

Overload

通常, when purchasing wooden pallets, it is important to specify the load capacity requirements. It is not advisable to exceed the weight or height during use, with the height generally being controlled to two-thirds of the width of the pallet. The strength a wooden pallet can bear when loaded and stationary varies depending on the structure of the pallet: double-sided structures offer better strength.
