Publish Time:

Steel pallets, also known as metal pallets or iron pallets, are warehousing and transportation equipment made from steel or galvanized steel sheets. Here is a detailed introduction:
1. Material and Process
- Main Material: Usually made of steel or galvanized steel sheets; some heavy-duty steel pallets use high-quality steel plates to ensure greater load-bearing capacity.
- Manufacturing Process: Formed by specialized equipment, various profiles support each other, reinforced by rivets, and then welded using carbon dioxide gas shielded welding. The panels may use rectangular tubes, C-shaped plates, or corrugated plates to further optimize load-bearing capacity and stability.
2. Structure and Classification
- Structural Types: Including flat pallets (such as double-sided entry, four-sided entry), column pallets (with fixed or removable columns, increasing stacking height), and box pallets (with side and top boards, suitable for irregularly shaped goods).
- Entry Direction: Divided into single-sided, double-sided, or four-sided entry designs, with four-sided entry offering the highest flexibility and compatibility with automated systems.
3. Performance Advantages
- High Load-Bearing Capacity: Dynamic load capacity of 1-3 tons, static load capacity of 4-6 tons, far exceeding wooden or plastic pallets, suitable for heavy machinery, metal products, and other goods.
- Durability: Waterproof, moisture-proof, rust-proof, no fumigation required, compliant with international environmental regulations, and 100% recyclable.
- Safety: Anti-slip surface treatment, edge protection design, sturdy chassis, high coefficient of friction, and less prone to sliding when loaded.
- Flexibility: Four-way entry design improves space utilization and is compatible with forklifts, racks, and automated conveying systems.
4. Application Scenarios
- Widely used in warehousing, transportation, and freight consolidation in the electronics, food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and other industries, especially suitable for export trade (fumigation-free), automated warehouses, and operations in harsh environments.
5. Specifications and Customization
- Common Specifications: Such as 1200×1000mm, 1200×800mm, etc. Non-standard customized sizes and thicknesses (steel plates are usually 1.2-1.5mm) are also available according to needs.
- Surface Treatment: Including epoxy resin powder coating (beautiful and durable) or galvanizing (strong rust prevention, suitable for outdoor use).
Steel pallets, with their high strength, environmental friendliness, and compatibility with modern logistics, have become important tools in industrial warehousing and transportation, particularly showing significant advantages in replacing traditional wooden and plastic pallets.
