Pallets are an essential component of any warehouse or distribution center. Metal pallets are precision-engineered and are one of our most sought-after products.
Metal pallets, as compared to conventional wooden pallets or even lightweight plastic ones, are made out of high-grade steel, making them much more durable, safe, and efficient. Pallets are the primary interface between the finished goods and the material handling equipment. The pallet’s integral role is often overlooked or minimized, but it should not be.
While wooden pallets are not long-lasting and plastic ones cannot take large loads over a long period of time, metal pallets can do both of these tasks. Being coated with anticorrosive paints, metal pallets are also corrosion-resistant and built to withstand various capacities, weights, and temperatures.

• Pallets provide a safe, effective shipping and storing platform throughout demanding and diverse situations in the unit load process.
• Pallet specifications can be designed to accommodate any unique automated equipment performance requirements.
• If you are over-packaging your product to compensate for non-uniform pallets, it is costing you money.

• A proper pallet specification should take into consideration not only the unit load weight requirements, but all of the material handling situations the load will encounter including: free span racking, conveyor travel, forklift handling, and AGV systems.
• Pallet specifications involve among other things the product, its configuration and packaging type.

To reduce costs and ensure the protection of the unit load, pallet users should establish criteria for pallet specifications. Following are some of the guidelines that can be considered in the development of specifications for pallets:

Summing up, an appropriately designed pallet can reduce product damage rates by eliminating or lessening the consequences of impacts, protruding objects and heavy loads. Correct specifications can increase material handling efficiency in all phases of the unit load process.
