Manual pallet trucks and pallets are two different types of vehicles. Trucks are small lifting and transportation tools that transport heavy objects over short distances, while pallets are small cargo platforms specifically designed to store and transport materials. The combination of the two can solve the problems of stacking, containerization, handling, and transportation of heavy objects by extending the forks of the trucks into the bottom of the pallets.
Based on current market usage, almost 80% of manual hydraulic handling vehicles require pallets to jointly complete the transportation of goods, and the types of pallets used for different types of goods are also different.
From a material perspective, there are two types of pallets that can be placed: wooden pallets and plastic pallets. Wooden pallets are made of natural wood, which has the advantages of being sturdy, durable, and having strong load-bearing capacity. However, they are easily corroded by moisture and are not suitable for use in dark and humid environments. They are also not suitable for storing fresh or frozen food. Plastic pallets are lightweight and durable, resistant to dirt and moisture. For pallets made of softer materials, steel pipes can be added to the gaps of the pallets to improve their load-bearing capacity. They are widely used in logistics warehouse turnover situations.
Divided by shape, the trays that can be placed are Sichuan grid trays and Tian grid trays.
Customers must provide detailed data and usage scenarios of manual pallet trucks to pallet manufacturers when purchasing pallets, in order to avoid purchasing unsuitable pallets.
