Warehouses often use plastic pallets, mainly to facilitate the stacking and transportation of goods, and can also play a role in protecting goods. Some new plastic pallets have codes, which can facilitate the modern management of the warehouse. In addition to plastic pads, wooden pads are also very common, but relatively speaking, plastic pads are better than wooden pallets in terms of durability, reliability, applicability, aesthetics, and environmental protection, so wooden pads are gradually used. reduce. Let's see if the plastic pads in the warehouse are good or wooden.
What is the role of plastic pads in 1. warehouses?
Plastic plate, also known as plastic plywood, forklift plate, plastic pallet, is a common logistics equipment in the warehouse. so what is the use of plastic pad?
The role of plastic pallets in the warehouse is mainly to facilitate the stacking of goods on the shelves, and to use forklifts and other logistics equipment to facilitate transportation and protect the goods on the pallets. Some modern plastic pads also have codes, which can be combined with storage software for scanning code identification to facilitate the modern management of the warehouse.
2. warehouse with plastic pallet or wooden pallet is better?
There are two kinds of pallets used in warehouses: plastic pallets and wooden pallets. According to different materials, which is better, plastic pallets or wooden pallets?
In terms of durability, the service life of plastic pallets is as long as 3-7 years, acid resistance, alkali resistance, impact resistance, and high hardness; but wooden pallets can only be used for half a year or so, mainly because they absorb moisture.
2. From the perspective of reliability, the plastic pallet is easy to carry and operate, light and strong, with low loss, non-slip, and no maintenance; the wooden pallet itself is relatively heavy, the transportation is relatively laborious, and the logistics cost is relatively high. And some inferior wooden pallets will leak nails, leakage burrs, there are security risks.
From the perspective of applicability, the application range of plastic pallets is wider, especially in some special industries such as food and medicine that cannot use wooden pallets. The scope of use of wooden pallets has certain restrictions.
4. From an aesthetic point of view, the appearance, color, and shape of the plastic back plate can be selected at will, or you can contact the manufacturer to customize; the appearance of the wooden mat is relatively simple.
5. From the perspective of environmental protection, plastic pallets are relatively more environmentally friendly and can be recycled after being damaged and scrapped; wooden pallets cannot be recycled and need to be cut down and made, which is not environmentally friendly.
In general, there are still many plastic pallets used in warehouses. Due to the advantages of plastic pallets, many countries in the world have promulgated new standards for the use of plastic pallets, and gradually reduce the use of wooden pallets.
